This year, half of
my garden is a “mystery” garden, and I don’t mean the weeds! I decided to plant
all of the seeds my Dad had collected and saved from 25 (at least) to
(possibly) 40+ years ago. As Dad’s been gone over 22 years, I can safely say
the seeds are all quite OLD!
While Dad was very
meticulous about labelling the jars, he did tend to reuse containers, so I can
also safely say that many of the labels did NOT reflect the seeds actually
stored in the jars! At the time of writing, none of the mystery seeds have come
up yet.

After 10 years
without changing my ad rates, I now must raise them (see below) in order
to cover my increasing costs.
Please note there
is no charge to submit photos and/or news items, however, a donation is
gratefully accepted.
And I encourage,
as many readers as possible to please donate a minimum of $23 in honour of the
23 years I’ve been in publication. That’s less than a $1/issue for a year.
Receipts available on request. Thank you for your continued support.
