No messages in the queue again today ... so i'll seize the opportunity to
tell gardeners and would-be gardeners about a New Brunswick company that
sells organic vegetable seeds by mail-order. Some of their varieties are
especially suited, the company claims, to short growing seasons.

The email version of the catalogue is too long for sust-mar (40K). But
here's the first page. If you email Mapple Farms, they will be happy to
send you the full email version. They sound like a great outfit.  I'll be
trying some of their seeds this year in planters on my deck (since i've no
land to plant them in!).
