>that is awesome!  i will say a prayer for Mr Bowman.. as long as there are still good men and women willing to stand against evil we have hope.

For all home gardeners, visit the list of Monsanto-free seed companies put together by Occupy Monsanto at http://www.occupymonsanto360.org/2012/03/06/monsanto-free-seed-comp...

Vote with your pocketbook if you can!
