PS: broke down and bought a couple of the Intel Computer Microscopes now that they've just reduced them to $30... I'm going to try to get some good seed photos up on the web. http://www.shop-intel.com/shop/default.asp if anyone else wants to play. So I guess that will have to pass for gardening here till spring decides to show up and the waterworks turn off a bit. Our water year starts in October, and we went into it at about a foot short from last year... if things keep up as they have been heading, we're going to be in water surplus again soon.
