Anyone know what I can sell them for? I have maybe 60 geranium seeds left. I really enjoy reading your posts, i just used this website Swap my Seeds, as a way of giving away my unused seeds.

Between all the soy in our processed food, the hormones they give cattle and other animals for growth, birth control and hormone replacement therapy, it seems that estrogen overload is becoming common. I wish I could point you to some sources but I haven't really bookmarked them, just keep running across them while surfing. Anyway, the reason I'm mentioning this is because of course soy has estrogen effects. Some of the symptoms of too much estrogen are extreme PMS, weight gain, tender breasts, anxiety, depression..wish I could remember them all. Anyway, I've been a vegetarian since 1979, but the last few months I have been limiting my soy intake because of this. Nice blog, I'll be checking back!

I stumbled my way here and wanted to say that I like your blog. Nice photos and thoughtful, well written posts. I'm a brand new vegan (day 7!) and have been mostly veg and dabbling in veganism for a long time now. Hard to believe but I've not had any soy/tofu products since Monday whereas normally I would have at least one thing a day...<em>at least</em>. I tried quinoa for the first time tonight and I think I'm in love. Going vegan has definitely made me want to branch out as far as I can and eat as many different and new things as possible. That will probably fade away as soon as I find some new favorites, but for now I'm enjoying things I never thought about trying. Like kale. Mmm. My favorite alternative milk is almond milk. I can't really tolerate unsweetened soymilk in large quantities, but I could drink unsweetened almond milk all day long. The flavor is just lovely to me. I use it in my cereals, smoothies, and coffee too. I don't like it in cooking though so there will always be silk in my pantry. ~bug Hello!

It is so highly touted in the US because it is a big business here. But little known is the fact that 50% of soy is genetically modified. Admittedly, we don't know what this could mean until enough time has passed, but I don't want to be a guinea pig. I've published a bit on my blog about soy - and a recipe for nutmilk, which I make often in my kitchen. Its delicious, and makes a great alternative to soy milk. There is also a detailed article on possible risks involved with soy here: http://www.utne.com/issues/2007_142/features/12607-1.html Hope you find this informative, soy is a hot button topic for me. My mom is overdosing on it because of its purported benefits to menopausal women, but it worries me because I think everything is best in moderation. Thanks for the post!
