Ok, you guys are really good for me. I am going to get off my lethargic rear and go to the home center and buy my seeds. I have these really odd looking seed starter things that are made from a material you can put right in the soil once a healthy plant has emerged. There are about 24 lil containers in one box and it even has a lid that turns it into a lil mini green house. I'll be looking for more seeds in the online catalogs and from other sources. If I run across any really good or unusual deals I'll let you know. You guys have given me a lot to think about and really lit a fire under my arse, Thanks! I can see now from more recent postings that the "bickering" was more like good natured prodding. If I offended anyone with my prior postings I apologize. It's a good thing in life weather it be online or in person to feel comfortable enough with your friends to be able to have that kind of banter.
