Greetings from Missouri. The first thread of the New Year. Hope you all had a great time. We have beautiful sunny weather, and the snow is melting, since we are just a few degrees above freezing.

We enjoyed our garden salad this holiday season with fresh veggies from our garden, indoors and out.

Still have several green peppers on the plants, and new starts of peppers, lemons, spinach, and lettuce in the indoor area.

Have a great weekend. God Bless.

For any interested parties, here is a link to House Resolution 193. It has not left committee, but thought I’d give you a heads up, just in case. It has to do with the registration of saved seed with the Secretary of Agriculture. While it appears it just applies to seeds saved from patented, engineered crops, anytime the government seeks to impose registration and fees on seeds, I’m suspicious:
