Re: sunflower seeds
Hi buck,
I definetly would be interested in growing some of your sunflowers. The
sunflower seeds I have now only grew to 16' I would be mostly interested
in the EKM# 62 and also maybe some of the latest seeds to experiment with.
If there is anything I owe or if you want a self-addressed envelope let me
know and I will make sure that you get it. My address is below. Thanks.
