Yiasou Nicolaus:

Yes I come every year hopefully during the Spring and stay for some months...I have a home and land in the area known as Stavros....opposite Isterni....with land and Olive Trees.....I have beena  member of Seed Savers for a long time, and was recently awarded a Lifetime Membership by them.....there is an enormous database of Seeds thru their network.....if I can help in enriching the seed varieties for Paros Farmers and Gardeners I would be glad too....I hope to be in Paros sometime in April if conditions and events do not get worse Globally....I brought with me last year some Hopi Blue Corn and Anasazi  which I shared with my friend and farmer Pandelis Zoumis...He planted them and the Blue Corn did very well.....there are many varieties of vegetables and grains which I can get seeds for....I believe if conditions worsen that Farmers and Gardeners will play a vital role in survival ..in this case the local Paros Community...it is important to have natural and heirloom varieties that have evolved thru the test of time and climate....anyway....I am available to add my connection to the community on my beloved Island.....I am a Gavalas so I have roots here, and hope to retire with my wife on our piece of land, garden, and pursue my hobbies....If the Global situation worsens it is very important for the local residents to consider preparation for mutual survival....that  will include a SEED BANK....medicines, and alternative energy production not dependent on Oil....anyway that is another matter.....my best wishes to you for Good Health....and to all persons of Good Will and Benevolency......
