I'd take DirecTV over Dish. They seem to always be working on improving things and service has been excellent. We have had them since they were PrimeStar. Where I live I can't take advantage of the ATT phone connection since Verizon has the best reception (maybe only decent reception). There are a couple of marginal cell phone carriers but driving down the road, you see them standing in their yards on their cell phones.
I don't mind the seedling crosses from known parentage. You can still make some reasonable guesses on how you want to cross them. I have plenty of room here and would love to plant some of your seeds. My new seedling bed will be in the pasture where the horses are now and I'll move them over to the bigger field. There leavings should make the soil a bit better but I'll be getting more mushroom compost to work into the soil before that one is inaugurated as a new daylily field.
Soon I'll be down to 2 horses from 3 (used to be 8). If you know someone who would like a beautiful silvery grey Arabian stallion free to good home, send them my way. He is 4.5 years old, untrained but friendly. Steve's illness got in the way of working with him. He is smart and needs someone to train him, love him and be a friend. He is not registered although he could be if the new owner wanted to follow up on that. I'm old enough now that I would rather he was placed with a younger person and I'll keep my 17 and 20 year old horses. I wouldn't worry if something happened to me.
