Yes very good, strait forward process and fairly quick dispatch as a rule.
No complaints from me.

Stevil,
Gatersleben is very reliable and quick even on orders sent overseas. Be sure to look around on their site for other things of interest too before you make your order.

I also need olives, a couple of weeping willows, and what are the qualities of the horseradish you are looking for Stevil? I'm growing mine for culinary and medicinal purposes and haven't given a thought to fertility or variety. They are also supposed to be good for keeping the buggies away from potatoes.

Jo, check out this place... eastcoastolivetrees.com/homeIf nothing else, they'll give you an idea of what varieties to look for. I'm still trying to figure out my own list...but a quince is likely to be on it. |

MJC,
Karen sent me a link to Sheffields seed a while ago and I made an order for quince there for a decent price, seed only of course, but quince none the less. You might want to check that out.

Must haves... Trees Quince (cold hardy Cydonia oblonga or Chaenomeles lagenaria 'Lemony') Crabapple (Chestnut, Hewes Virginia, Siberian) Mulberry Pears (some of the ones here sound interesting www.sln.potsdam.ny.us/pears.html) Vines Kiwi (hardy) Goji There's more...but this is the stuff I think I can reasonably acquire this year. |

Kiwi, Goji, and Mullberry are available as seed through tradewinds fruit also. Ken Ettlinger has a Goji berry seed genepool available via www.liseed.org as well for five dollars, I'm growing those at the moment to, in the sake of diversity. |

Yes, I am interested in the quince... I'm looking for cuttings for the mulberry (local, hopefully)...there was real nice one in town, sweet and flavorful...it got chopped down about 3 yrs ago  |

Olympic Flame shouldn't really exist...something about the USOC making the person who named it remove the Olympic part of the name. Old Flame and just plain Flame are aka for it. Not to be confused with Hillbilly, which is often called Flame, but shouldn't be...

Thanks for the mulberry seeds to come! I'm not sure I understand the desire for the quince. ALthough, as a kid, my dad fed me membrillio and swiss cheese for a special treat. Membrillio is a sort of a cross between a fruit leather, Turkish Delight, and preserves. It's highly prized by Spanish peoples.
East Coast Olive Trees is a great site! Interestingly enough the trees I want are the cheap one! HA! How about that? I think it will have to be slated for a couple years out though. We'll see how things go...

Hmmm... must haves...
Capsicums: any C. baccatum and C. pubescens.
Onions. The more variety the better -- want to mix them up and let them go!
Turnips. Same story. (Already mentioned this elsewhere some time ago.)
Hazelnuts! Been trying to source them for years and have basically given-up. I don't know that our Winters are cold enough for them, though...
Grains: Wheat, particularly older/taller varieties; Triticale; Rye; Sorghums (I'll probably source these locally, since SA is a hotbed of Sorghum breeding work); maybe Barley (though breeding work with it is a bugger!)
Hops! Esp. seed so that I can grow some male plants.
Well, you asked ;D ;D
Update: Oh! And TPS
