I just got off the phone with Geri Giudetti at the Ark Institute. I had called to confirm availability of the free 1999 seed packs they offered recently (recipient pays packaging and shipping costs totalling $25). She said they have enough to last until about June or so. If you want a great seed assortment of open pollenated seeds that usually sells for $159, here's your chance. See the web offer at http://www.arkinstitute.com/2000/new_page_1.htm. And if you can afford it, toss in a few $ for the Institute as well.
