Hi Loretta,

"I am glad you are back at it. That is an impressive setup you had there."

Not at all impressive compared to what I had on the farm in the basement. I saved some hybrid seeds and planted them here in the apartment today. That was a faster turnaround than what I did on the farm.

"Have you thought of finding a partner to grow out your progeny?"

Thought of it and rejected it. This breeding zinnias thing for me was always just for fun and never for profit. It has never been more than a hobby to this day. Any commercial conversion would have had to occur many years ago. I am much too old to be thinking about a second career. In my opinion, many of my mutant zinnias are too odd to be commercially competitive. But thanks for your interest and ideas. Thumbs up

ZM
I tip my hat to you.
