Well everyone..

I'm still learning about blogging. I know i said i probably won't be posting lists of the seeds i have available to trade. But, i think i will now... least the smaller, easier to ship ones. Later on in this post i'll put a list of the tomato seeds i have available which i grew out in 2007.

As for what i'm up to today.. i'm still working on getting together a business plan and taking care of alot of other things i'll be needing to do to start up a new seed company next fall. Anyone who wants to hear about all that boring stuff is more than welcome to follow along as i chronicle my progress on a friend of mine's forumn; http://alanbishop.proboards60.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=youself&thread=1501&page=3#16327

Now i suppose i will post a list of something in here so that anyone who does read this blog from another friend of mine's blog wants to trade. http://www.patnsteph.net/weblog/?p=457

You can find both of their blogs on my favorites list.. but i'm still learning how to do things here on this blog so i wanted to see how the html works in messages. Bear with me!! Here's a short list of tomatoes:
