    According to USPS site, the seeds finally arrived. I am relieved because I have had so much trouble with the post office lately.

    I hope that the seeds arrived intact and that I included enough return postage.

  • jlee160

    Willy, please post the progress of the seed sorting. Like the others, I'd like to know when to expect the seeds as WS season is getting short here in CA. Thank you.

    This is Willy your host,
    I am working on sorting the seeds for everyone, and my goal is to start sending the packages out the first part of march, so most of you should be receiving them before too long, thank you for your patience, it takes me longer during this time of the year as my schedule is very busy this time of the year so I have to spread out going through all the seeds, and Like to return them to all of you about the same time, thank you.

  • apoppyfield

    Natives are getting restless. What should be a fun activity is becoming frustrating. Even if it isn't perfect, Willy, we need to wrap this up. No 'scuses, Lucy.
