The Annapolis Valley Giant Vegetable growers will be having a web board auction beginning next Sunday at 7:00pm and ending the following Sunday at 7:00pm. It will take place on this message board, thanks Ken, and will be the same format as the GPC web board auction. It will be the 1st of possibly two auctions. The 1st one will consist of approximately ten lots.

When arranging the lots we tried to put together some selections that would get the biggest bang for your buck and with the exception of one or two lots, most contain multiple seeds. As per Eddy's request several posts down, here is a sneak preview of SOME of the seeds available:
