You're so welcome.I'm happy to do whatever I can to support urban 
farming as it's my passion and mission in life :0)
Thank you!
To post on the UCC list you click on the link at the top that says 
something like 'reply to group' or you can just put this:

No babies yet but could be any time now!

I have some of your backordered seeds here (in a container marked 
'seeds' by my front door)
