WANTED: how have recent reports about mailings affected you?

have you been affected by recent unconfirmed reports in the national media about mailings and bacteria?

personally I am a skeptic about everything except that my tomatoes did incredibly this year. But I hope the GW plant exchanges will not be affected!

Hey there Charles!
Yes and No..I will not open any mail I don't know who it is from. But that would not hopefully include a package from a prearranged swap or trade with a fellow Gardener.

and gardenweb's the best spot to meet them!

I recently had to change my e-mail and did it here just by my member's page and that takes care of it!

and I just got a package of acorns- no return address or anything- no problem! looked like it had been opened and restapled at the top, but it was probably just a frugal gardener re-using an old puffy envelope

I saw you received acorns. Do you want oak seedlings? The squirrels bury the acorns and they sprout in the spring and I mow them over with regret. I have an extra eight oak trees in my yard and gardens cause they resisted my efforts to do them in and I finally allowed them to grow. But I know I will kill some this spring. Do you want them?
