    You've certainly been bitten hard haven't you? Looks like a nice seed selection you've picked there Lukey. I can almost hear the impatient drumming of your fingers as you wait for them to arrive. ;)

    I know exactly what you mean! We order our vegetable seeds in late December, so I can get them started in January and February. We are also on a Rural Delivery Route, which means out mailman comes by in a truck and puts our mail in a box by the road. Bobby, our mailman, knows to toot his horn when we have a package or envelope from a seed supplier. He knows I'm anxious to get my seeds and get going!
