A few things before we get started.
Mary from Mary's Heirloom Seeds will be LIVE on Wolf Spirit Radio this Friday, October 3rd from 4pm-6pm PST with host Joyce Wheeler.
The topic of the show is Organic Gardening and we'll also discuss seeds and related topics. There will be live call-ins and chat room questions. Join us!
Next, we've added GIFT CARDS at Mary's Heirloom Seeds. We've had several requests lately for gift certificates so we've updated our website. The drop down menu will give you denomination options.
We need your votes thru October 19th!
