Don't count on that Alex, ask me how I know this :lol:.

Ben many of us save our own seed from year to year, long term, in the freezer, an other way, in zip locks in containers in a cool room but the seed has to be perfectly dry in both cases before packaging. If you are looking for heirloom varieties in smaller packets at a reasonable price check out...

A big welcome from Vancouver Island, I just know you're going to love it here as much as I do. Annette

Steve, not sure but I think Tango is a something poodle cross. He's enjoying the beach too . Not sure what happened with the file, I was taking the pics off an email and haven't the faintest of what happened there other than I might have deleted it and then decided to put it back :hu.

Spanish coffee with lots of whipped cream.

I wish, unfortunately my traveling days are over, I have to settle for photo/s and go into dream mode these days:) Our weather right now is cold and rainy so love looking at the photo's he sends. I'll share a few.... Annette

Personality? What does he like, music, books, quiet time, is he into sports?

I sure hope so, they produced gangbusters for me. I saved seed and have shared it with several people including our snowbird son. He summers in Canada and winters south of the border, they own a condo in Palm Springs but have rented a house on a beach in Mexico for a couple of months. His New...

A big welcome from Vancouver Island, glad you joined us. Annette

Can't remember, but probably not. A killing frost as a rule doesn't hit us until the end of October, but it has happened earlier and some years later. I do know that I had all the seed I wanted before that happened. Annette

You guessed it:), I'm still finding the odd oneunder things. Annette

Blue Greasy Grits did very well for me, although planted late and went through a hot spell where they just sat there until it cooled down I ended up with a bumper crop, nice as a snap, great as a full bean and even made a decent shelly although a small one. One it cooled down they produced...

If you want to talk the differences in beans @Zeedman is the one to ask. I've been growing mostly heirlooms. Yes there is quite a difference in the taste of many of the varieties. Take Tobacco Worm for instance a favorite of many has a strong beany flavor that for me I had to acquire a taste...

Nothing like you guys but I have grown Dichroa febrifuga, not winter hardy here but a hydrangea like plant that has brilliant blue berries.

I hate snakes, thank goodness all we have around here are garter snakes. If I see them first I'm O.K. but if they startle me you'll find me hanging from the nearest tree branch. Before we were on sewer a neighbor had a rat climb out of their toilet, needless to say it freaked her out. I was so...

Good for you Alex, I don't care what anyone says it's not an easy task quitting smoking. Now take the money you usually spend on ciggy butts and treat yourself, new shoes or even treat yourself to some spa days, pedicures are good too, make you feel like a hundred bucks. Annette

Happy, happy birthday to you Alex. You are one of my very favorite people, Have a great day. Annette

Here's mine

We had one in fact we still have it stored away in the basement. We bought it wayyyyy back in the sixties, bought it from Sears for $69 it was plain black and not decorative. We hooked it up to a chimney where there was at one time a wood burning kitchen stove. We burned coal in it and believe...

Hang in there @murphysranch, so sad to hear this but this will only make you stronger. Big :hugs's Annette
