I went to an event where there were 270 kinds of apples on display - and most were available for tasting.

I was the only person asking to keep the seeds.  Thanks to jocelyn's help, I now have 132 packets with apple seeds.

Off to visit three farms today.  I should be back in the saddle here on monday. 

(Looky thar! I'm able to post to permies via my blackberry)

Did these 132 apple varieties get planted? What was the outcome?
