Re: Glaucidium fresh seed question

Hi Kitty,

Yes, I'd like to try some of each.  Could you include some planting
information with the seeds, please?  It'd be greatly appreciated.

Still haven't dug the peonies, have managed to do just about everything but.
This weekend I'm going to Southern KS, just about 20 miles North of
Jesse-land(Oklahoma) to see the kid who is attending college in a small town
called Winfield.

Thanks in advance.  Rich
