Utdeedee, If you want greasy backs or any other bean, your in luck. For the price of a good meal and an hour drive north of Knoxville, you can recieve that good meal, plus a weekend of seminars on garden topics, in a relaxed one on one atmosphere. An earful of conversion with some of the finest people you could ever hope to associate with and to top it off more appalachian beans, tomatoes, peas, corn seed and many other Heirloom seed that you could ever find room to grow and all for the cost of that one good meal. Where can this be you might ask. At the annual Appalachian Heirloom seed conservancy get together in Bera ky. It is the first weekend in Oct. Send Brook Elliot an e-mail at KentuckySeeds@hotmail.com. for more information. This years conference will once again be at the Home of Bill Best at the Sustanable Mountain Agriculture center in Berea Ky. Check out his website below and instead of buying seed on line meet with growers of these rare treasures purchase seed from Bill or from the AHSC or just ask for some from those of us who live to swap or give away the many heirlooms we grow. I will be looking for you and the invitation applies to everyone who can make it. Rodger

Thanks Rodger. I will keep it in mind and may take up the invitation. I've looked over the website and I like what is being done.

My aunt is going to share seed with me for my next years garden that have been in the family for 3 generations. One of them is a tiny white cucumber. I wish she had shared them with me this year.
Thanks again!
