Probably not. But, you might find the occasional farmer's market vendor
offering them. Or, if you had a fixed address, Burpee would be happy to supply
seeds.   Bv)=

 ML> Thanks also for the identification of the hydrocarbon taste.

Comes from hanging about low-life places like truck stops. The aroma of diesel
fuel/smoke is unforgettable.
