If this set of seeds sells out we may put together another set with some equally good genetics.

Jim,

Just out of curiosity did you get an ok from the Dill's to sell their patented AG seeds for your association?

Jim,

Sounds like a great deal! I've heard that several growers were having trouble this year shipping seeds from Canada to the U.S. I think Drew sends his from Niagara Falls, U.S.A. Hopefully we won't have trouble receiving the seeds!

p.s. When are you coming down to the Ohio Valley to "serenade" us again!

Yes we did get permission from Howard when he was here in Ontario a few years ago. But technically we are not selling seeds, we are giving them away in return for a donation. We were in the Martimes this past summer and visited Howard and Danny at their farm. We were treated real nice. Howard is a real gentleman and even gave my grandson a souvenir hockey puck from "Long Pond"on his farm. It is claimed to be the site of the first hockey game.
