Re: : Feeding Questions

Nesa and Ancients and
friends,
Only God knows.  Alot of the plants donated were unmarked, but, as far as my
Expert and I can surmise: Peppers (3-4 kinds), Tomatoes (5-7), melons (?), corn,
pumpkins, squash (my guess at least 5 unknown types) and assorted flowers.  Who
knows?  Who care? We'll figure it out as we plug along.  The fun will come when
I try to teach them to gather seeds, so, all of you "Ancients" out there, get
ready for the desperate pleas for help that are sure to come.  By the way,
chatting with you guys is great!  "r"
