Joe,,just go to select destination at top and click seeds and pick your seed...Then you must either send a bubble pack with 2 stamps,,or send Ken some cash to pay for Bubble and shipping.....

Joe,

Also from the HOME page. On the left side is a "HOW TO" button. It will take you to several good links about patch preperation, propagating, polination, pest control, fertility, etc.
The growers bibles are the 2 books by Don Langevin. There's links to them somewhere here too. Vol's 1 & 2 are different & worth the investment even if just growing for fun. It's no fun to watch plants die. Years ago my fruit would always stop growing in August. I'd harvest pumpkins. But with our hot & humid CT summers, I was really letting my plants down. It's more fun for me now that I know how to keep them alive.

Check out the OSU website too.

Hea Joe. Seem strange? Not so! That is exactly how one of the finest heavy hitters in this hobby teated me. The willingness to help a newbe is outstanding. Glad to have you here. Keep reading. Read the right stuff. Get those two books.

The hope is that you will become a great and good grower and share with others as you have or will receive help.
The secrets are no so secret here. Promise you will have relaxed and great fun to whatever degree you wish.
