Hello everyone, I started a seed train last year and it was so fun to get new things, I've decided to start it again. it stopped just for the summer. Ive emailed the people who participated last spring and a few of them would like to do it again. but we still need some more people. Ive got three ready to go and ill start it at five as that is what we had last year and it worked very well. if you would like to join feel free to email me or leave a post, thanks. ill post the rules soon.
