Seeds coming from green bud are often better to
grow because the strain is frequently acclimated
to the growing season of northern latitudes.

Treasure Island is captain Long John Silver. This
character really stood out to me. The reason being
that he was a very respected and or feared pirate
among everyone that knew him. He had a very
complex personality, at first he seemed to be the
kindest person is the whole book, but later he
really reveals what he is capable of and you soon
learn it is really a act. Long John Silver is a
