Re: OT-BIO-Carol Ann Carney

Hi Carol,
  Last year i had only about 30 varieties and now i
have about 230!!  I am only 18 and just graduated last
June.  This summer i did extreme amounts of trading
and have gotten a lot from it.  Next fall i estimate i
will have 700 varieties or so.  I think it is so
exciting and fun to grow them and to watch them bloom.
 I plan to start small scale selling next year.  I
have a really small yard so i must.  Do you have a
list of the ones you have?  Would you ever be
interested in trading?  Let me know and i will send
you my list.
