Good evening friends! Blake here to find out if any of you have a few of what I listed or one at least. I've done my best to find ways to acquire the stuff, but a difficult task due to the legal obstacles.
I'm looking for more folks from the Permies and seed saving community to help me find folks who are open to my mission to build better restoration gardens in my community to help folks remember their past and their ancestors as I have for myself and my family. Please reach me at the Purple Moosage to discuss more ways to acquire these things besides from the online retailers. I'd like to meet up right away at the Moosage to explain my growing program and how it makes a difference to others.
Take care.

By the way, just found some Tetovac beans and ready to grow them this year to commemorate my community's Serbian and Croatian past. Good night.
