And I would like to add my thanks to Luminita and everyone donating seeds and bulbs. This was my very first seed exchange with PBS and the packet I received was amazing. Right down to the little bulblets wrapped in a moist towel in a packet no bigger than one inch square. So much rigor and care was taken to make sure that the seeds and little bulbs arrived in excellent condition! Thank you very very much. Everything is planted now and I will be watching them in my kitchen for a while before they go into our little greenhouse here in Michigan. Especially with the pandemic raging and our horizons quite narrow, getting the seeds and bulbs and being able to watch them grow is just wonderful. Many many thanks to you all. Go PBS!!!!
