I would like to comment on the quality of seeds that I have received from
this list.  I have planted seeds from 4 sources this year -- my own (1 month
old), list member Ingrid Ruscheinski (1-2 years old), the free seeds from
Uncle Steve (www.ushotstuff.com) last year (1-2 years old), and Shepherd's
Seeds (2-3 years old).  My seeds, nearly all of Ingrid's seeds, and all of
the Uncle Steve seeds have not only come up, but come up quickly and
prolifically (nearly every seed in every plug has sprouted).

I only have 1 sprout from 18 plugs worth of Shepherd's seeds.  Granted, they
are a little older than any of the other seeds, but I am nonetheless a
little disappointed.  Hopefully a few more will come up in the coming week
or two.  (Note that I have these seeds left over from when I couldn't get
them to grow the first season I bought them -- maybe just some bunk seeds.)

At any rate, I just wanted to publicly thank Uncle Steve and Ingrid for
their generosity and for sending me such ultra-high quality seeds.  I
believe that these types of things speak well for all of our list members --
an ultra-high quality bunch.

Hope all is well.

Matt
