Facebook Friends
Hey Friends,
For those of you who are "friends" on Facebook, I have a very unpalatable favor to ask you. Facebook has a very stupidly named system called "fan pages", where people can become "fans" of people, bands, products, books, etc. I hate the name, but the concept of the fan page is that people, authors, etc. can interact with their friends without having a regular "friends" page which exposes a lot of family and other information to strangers. I have been advised to create a "fan page" so that my family members and close friends will not be exposed to the large amount of Bunker haters, etc. and also (this is more to the point) so that my family members don't get hate mail from their friends who have no idea who I am but who link through to me and see my info and freak out. Anywho... I will be phasing out my regular "friends" page over the next few months and will only be adding (or suggesting people add) to the fan page. I hate the name "fan" as much as you, but that is what facebook calls it. For those of you who are and have been good "friends" for years, I will still be totally reachable through all the normal channels, and you will get all my clever, witty, biting, and boring facebook posts on your page if you fan up. There is also a "discussion" forum on the fan page that doesn't exist on the regular friends page.
Ok? Hate to do it, but that is the way it goes.
Oh, and for those of you who are on Facebook and who haven't been checking out the regular posts, a lot of the discussion on the podcasts has been happening on Facebook.
For those of you who do not have facebook and who do not want it. Congratulations. Stay the way you are.
Here is the link to the fan page. Go to this place and click "become a fan"

I'm already not a favorite, so a little extra hate-mail doesn't bother me in the least.
Celt,
Was just glancing at your gardening blog comments, where you mention Baker Creek Seeds. They are based in Mansfield, MO; but now have their first branch retail location in Petaluma, Sonoma county, CA. Since I have their catalog at my side; I knew this was a typo; so thought I'd pass it along. Their MO address is: Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, 2278 Baker Creek Road, Mansfield, MO 65704 USA. Their website is www.rareseeds.com
Tried to post this comment on your blog, but perhaps since I'm not "signed in"; it wouldn't let me. Thought I'd share the info. here, so you can copy and paste to your site if you wish. Happy Spring Gardening.
Beth
