   SubvrsiveHippie @MrBrownThumb I'll have most of the seeds that I need for next years crops, but I doubt I'll have enough to share. #seedchat -9:00 PM Jul 18th, 2012

   MrBrownThumb @SubvrsiveHippie Yeah, the drought kinda put my plan of growing one particular tomato on hold and then killed it. #seedchat -8:59 PM Jul 18th, 2012

   kctomato @jchapstk #SeedChat say "global climate change" rather than warming (which is misleading). Focus on extremes hot/cold drought/deluge & chang -8:58 PM Jul 18th, 2012
