We never tried to start anything from seed before.  I'll have to
research when and how to plant those campari tomato seeds you pointed us
to.  They came in the US mail today.

The spicy origani we bought as seedling plants two years ago.  They grew
here quite well two years ago, and then made it through the winter
thanks to being inside.  We still have a pretty decent supply of fresh
and *LOTS* of dried.  Do you have any nurseries within reach -- rather
than trying mail order?
