There is this little standard quiz from the show “Inside the Actor’s Studio” that interviewer James Lipton makes the guests take at the end – one of the questions is, “what is your favorite word?” Seeds really are the embodiment of what my answer to that question would be; “potential.”

One of my favourite Native stories is that man was created in the image of Gitchi Manitou, (Creator), not as in “physical form” but in the ability to envision the possibilities. .... potential.

Thanks Jj for reminding us about our responsibility to preserve the original seeds. This will prevent the looming catastroph ahead.

MsDeb – your mention of “Native” reminded me of I site I recently found (through Baker Creek Seeds) that I haven’t explored enough yet, http://www.nativeseeds.org/.

With 48 hours left to go, at this writing, they’ve exceeded their initial goal, but of course could use a little extra. The link above is still good.

You are so right Joel. Someday we will wish that we were more resourceful with the seeds and helped save them.
