To address the resent pile of anti auction big dollars auction posts; I
will just say that this whole hobby is for fun. If it isn't fun for you
to have so much money invested in the seeds you plant, don't invest so.
Buy some kelp meal, Ironite, or something else. But, don't let this
negative sentimentality spawn freely. This will only damage organizations
which are attempting to help fund their activities. I am very thankfull
to everyone for their help in getting me the impressive seed colection
that I have, and seeds I have planted. If anyone needs seeds, I have
plenty and am willing to share for free. As far as getting proven seeds,
just start collecting now, and you will have a stockpile of proven seeds
which you can plant or trade for other proven seeds you want. Concearning
the Ferrari, being 19, I can remember being 17 quite well, and think it
would have been better if I had a Ferrari, but maybe someone should give
567.5 Mombert seeds to experienced growers (maybe even to me which is
highly recomened). Above all else, don't be too serious (exept about
trying hard and growing a big pumpkin). Have fun, don't get hung up on
the things that may irritate you.
Good luck and thank you to everybody.
Nic Welty
p.s. I am open to private emails to discuss any of this, or give me
helpfull sugestions.
and don't forget squash seeds are free as always, proven or not (exept
those squash seeds which grow pumpkins)
