Along about 2010, life for me was getting a little mundane. We had been farming since 1988, and my body was starting to suffer oil leaks and warning lights pretty regularly. Vegetable and flower growing, the way we did it, was a young person’s game. Our kids were grown. I had been working for the Kansas Rural Center for 20 years, and the joy was going out of grant writing and reporting to funders - which were big parts of every hot idea I ever tried to bring into reality.
Thanks Dan. Heartwarming. My experience with a small selection of seeds from Italy in Ghana was somewhat sub-par, but the arugula (at least a couple of varieties) is in my salad every night.
I didn't know that, or most of it. And here I thought you were just another layabout like me. Capitalism sucks. Good businesses we could use a lot more of. bert
You read my mind. I’ve been wondering how you and Lynn first found these remarkable seeds. Really happy to have the catalog-and Lynn’s garden journal.
I have always striven to combine capitalism and being a layabout. Very hard to maintain a balance.
My wife and her friends seeds have a very serious barter system going on for seeds from their home country of Korea. :)
Exactly how it should work!
