Interesting site

[Lakota]

I am not sure if this site has been posted but I found some of the strains quite interesting. I have an email out to him to see if he can ship some samples to canada. I would like to grow a few of these plants.

They do have some interesting varieties. It would be worth ordering some seeds for the ones that are not in the FTT seed bank for a grow-out.

If there is an interest and I can get seeds I will do a grow-out for the seed bank

Do you think we can trust their seeds provenance? -- John

John I dropped him an email about the purity of the seeds. Just to make sure they are " the real mccoy" Russ

I'm guessing they are since the guy seems serious about preserving primitive heirlooms.

I haven't bought from there but I read a lot of the stuff on the site when I was just getting into this like 8 months ago. It seemed real enough to me.

The images on the site appear to be correct (within my experience with many of the varieties shown). I communicated with the site owner, T. A. James, in November of 2011. It was specifically with regard to the varietal provenance. Mr. James was quite reticent (read, "refused") to reveal any such information about his offerings. I'm definitely not saying that Mr. James or his seed offerings are not legitimate. He was simply not comfortable revealing the information, I assume because he derives income from their unique offerings.
