I would like to apologize for sending this out. This was sent to me
and before I in turn sent it out I should have read my own Johnny's
catalog (in a pile only 10 feet from my computer - shame on me)
to verify what was stated in this email. In addition, I do not advocate
boycotting Johnny's, again this was in the original email sent to me.

I will try and do a better job of screening emails sent to me that
I in turn send out to listserves and others on my lists. I would
like to apologize to Johnny's Seed Co.
Sincerely,
Debbie
