Jo,

I think Alan's site is hosted on a Chinese hosting company or something. It has been that way for years. Since you have to mail him your order, I've never worried about it.

Jim,

I'm ordering both. I'll send you some seeds.

Oh... ok. The format of the pages kinda knocked me off guard. Lots of cool stuff. I'll have to peruse the site more carefully when I have time.

To be honest, with everyone's contributions, I really don't think I'll need to purchase to much. I DO need some root stock! I'm getting scion wood from GRIN soon and I'll need the root stock for grafting.

Don't bother asking me what I'm getting...

the heads up email came more than a month ago and my brains just don't hold water that long.

Well, I'll make it easy...apple or what?

I'm needing some rootstock (apple, but something for pear is needed too) too...the only problem is, getting it at a good price will require 25 or 50 of them and I don't need that many..but...

How many will you need?

About 39° N, 79° 58' W at just over 2000'; ostensibly Zone 5B. Weather is highly variable and seldom as forecast, with about 49" annual rainfall. According to the maps, the climate zone border runs right through my yard.

I wanted to follow this up. Here's the note from Bruce at GRIN:

Scionwood of Asimina parviflora, hazelnut, butternut and pear will be
sent some time in late January to early February. Mint rhizomes will be
sent before spring. Please note in the above attachment that the
responsibility of Asimina triloba has been transferred to Kentucky.

So, I need rootstock for those trees. In fact, I'm expecting to receive them any day now. And so the forest grows!

I should also clarify that Peace Seedlings is fantastic as well and I'm glad to see Dylana and Mario getting involved, I ordered from them last year and got the same great service and fantastic seeds like I would have got from Peace Seeds

How'd I miss this thread?! Here's my contribution: www.annapolisseeds.com

Great to discover a few cool new companies here, Dirt Sun Rain and A Few Good Plants were pretty good finds for the day. Alan K... I had tons of comments from visitors about those Spring Blush peas last summer, everything I planted from Peace Seeds became a instant highlight in the garden. Alan B.... great idea with this thread, thanks for making it!

Happy garden planning everyone!
