Re: OSC SEED
tom,
I have seed from a 1010 mackenzie which produced my 632 pounder last year on
a secondary vine(1st year mistake). If you want some free seed just email me
at apapez@home.com and we can talk. Also no problems with seeds coming
across the border. I live in St Catharines Ontario were are you located.
