I read about the heirloom seed at Tandys – fantastic concept!
It is worth following up on locally. Flowers, fruit, veg, all from these heirlooms to ensure diversity for generations to come.
Loved your answers! Thanks for doing this, Sidey! Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!
It is always fun, because when i don’t know the answer, i can imagine it
As usual wonderful answers 🙂
