RE: pumpkins DIGEST V1 #131

Hi there.

Tad with the Cub Scouts.   We have bought AG seeds from Harris Seed co for two years and have never grown any fruit.   We have just planted late.  But even at that, some fruit should have started even if it did not mature. 

How does this seed exchange work.  Do we request for anyone to send a few seeds to us, or do arrange to purchase from one of the growers in the digest group? 

Please advise

Thanks 
Tad

Hey Group
 I am starting to get our seeds ready to put in the little coin envelopes. I was wondering what size Labels everyone likes to use or which Brand and product number. Also what programs and which templates do you use to print them up with? Hopefully we can get a few different ideas on this and why you like a certain size. Also where is a good place to get clip art to use on the labels? Thomas S.W. Oklahoma

I use regular address labels (Avery 1" x 2.63"), but it really is up to you.  Use what is most convenient, or what fits best on the envelope.  I can say that I like it best when I get a seed envelope with an actual color photo of the pumpkin printed on the label, especially when the photo is clear (not printed in "draft" format).  This is not required though.  The thing most people need is just the weight-name-year (uow or
dmg) and the cross, also with weight-name-year.

Microsoft Word has a label printing tool.  When you open up a new word document, click on "Tools" at the top, select "Letters and Mailings," and then select "Envelopes and Labels."  The program will allow you to choose from dozens of label brands, and the various label sizes they make.  I think I used this program last year to print labels >>>with a photo<<<, but I am not sure, so I can't say if you can paste a picture into it or not.  It's possible that I used a program called "My Label Maker Pro," or Avery's label software which they sometimes bundle with the labels.  Avery's software is pretty easy to use.

Hope that is helpful.

  Getting clip art or a picture on each label is where I am having problems. I think someone suggested last year that printmaster gold or some type of label software is good to use. I downloaded Avery Wizard and its easier to use than plain Microsoft word but still can not paste or insert a picture onto each label.
