perhaps I should just broadcast
them or sow them in poystyrene boxes and see what happens. Any
thoughts?


Furkling, hey ... what a brilliant word. Thank you, I'll use it as from
tomorrow ))))

This chap is a farmer in Central Brazil, near Brasília, and is trying
to recover the plant diversity that is being destroyed by the soy beans
monoculture for export. He intends to create a Latin American seed bank
and would very much appreciate seed donations. If you find yourself
with too many seeds, send him a lil' packet and see what happens.

Or, if you go into a big city and see a grotty grey sad piece of grass,
just throw a handful of seeds on it. I'm sure some souls next year will
appreciate the colours appearing just like magic ;o)
