Yeah, we have this every year. It's so much less argumentative than it has been
in the past. This has become a great newsgroup over the years. Many of us have been here for almost a decade. Join in the arguing. I don't think anyone here has fought dirty in some time.

So do I, I love huge red poppies
Don't know where to get a California poppy mix, sorry Shell "Mark Anderson" wrote in message .net... In article says... You forgot the effect of Afghanistan poppy fields on the economy I would love to be able to grow some of those poppies just for the flowers. The poppies we get here are wimps in comparison. BTW: Does anyone know where I can get a California poppy seed mixture? The one site I was going to buy from doesn't carry them anymore. |

Another poster who has disappeared in the past year is Iris Cohen.
(her profile line was some Talmudic line about a city without trees was cursed, or a city with trees was blessed - something like that).
