Regards to the list:

I recall posting and whining about this subject last year, or the year before and my apologies, but here I go again.

I want/need a transplanter and I still don't think I can afford a new one. My neighbor has one but he's waiting for his father-in-law to come get it from Indiana or he would sell it to me. That was last spring and it's just a pile of rust setting by (not in) his barn.

I could drive to Tennessee or Kentucky or Illinois or Indiana or Nebraska or Kansas or Iowa or south Missouri or even Minnesota, Arkansas or Oklahoma (you get the picture) with the pickup truck to get one. My poor old knees ache just thinking about setting out strawberries, especially the right one that the emu kicked. Not to mention cabbages, tomatoes, peppers - the list goes on and on. It wouldn't have to be in perfect condition - hubby is pretty good at resurrecting old farm equipment (just have a look at the ancient one-row corn picker he got at an auction). However, the less work to do on it, the better. I just know there is an affordable transplanter setting in a shed somewhere with my name on it. Please, please, please, help me find it!

I would be forever grateful.

Marie in North Missouri
