   Thanks Gary. I have no real expectations, but a strong curiosity about   
   things grow-able. I'm always collecting things in the wild and sometimes   
   even get to plant them. If I planted 15 seeds and had anything come from   
   them, I would be happy. If I had 15 different types of potatoes, I would be   
   ecstatic.   
   Thanks for that info.
