      Hey Marcin, things are looking good at SOE. I'm glad that Will and Thad took me out to meet you when you came to Texas. This is what Will Bratton and I have been working on recently. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1742152701/horto-domi-the-open-garden… Check it out and let me know what you think.

      Good luck and God speed,
      Samuel Bagot
