Thanks David; but I think I'll soon have enough boxes, and I wanted them
all to be the same size anyway. Perhaps the seed project should consist of
random mixes of everyone's contribution(s), in a planting medium (dirt) in
each box: just add water...
Huge crows used to perch in the tall pine trees at the back of the Long
Beach (WA/US) newspaper office where I once worked. They'd listen to us
chattering by the door and mimick our voices (and dump on our car
windshields). Apparently they do like brightly colored/shiny objects,
especially blue.
