Raybo, I will be starting the new dwarfs as soon as they arrive and growing them for indoors as well. It will be nice to be able to compare our results.

What Dwarf varieties will you be growing over the Winter? What lighting environment will you be using? Should be a fun wintertime project!!!

I am starting one each of the four new dwarf varieties, already growing Tasmanian Chocolate (plus lots more plants). I use 400 watt MH and then switch to HPS, but will start them under shop lights.

This reminds me to take new pics for the indoor growing project thread...

Let's see, here. You go 1.3 miles up the gravel road and leave some money in the left hole of the stump of the old sweetgum tree. Then you drive .6 miles further and if everything checks out, you'll get a high-sign from Junior or Bubba. Return to the stump and your purchase should be there. If you're not a trusted customer, just keep going and don't think about something stupid like a refund.

Goes down like Sunday morning gravy and then kicks you in the back of the head like a mule. Wonderful stuff.

Maybe it is his trade secret to growing those tomatoes so well! I'll have to check it out someday myself!

In order to get fast germination, you may also want to start duplicates using the moist coffee filter / zip-lok bag method. With the Extreme Bush I started both ways, the coffee filter method sprouted 10 days earlier than the seeds in Potting Mix.

I placed my order yesterday as well so it looked liked I made the Monday mailing.

You drink enough of that Dew it will have you pinging off the walls. Ask any night shift worker military type, ain't that right Ted.

It definitely going to be Dwarf City at Ami's place next year with seed from Victory, Tania and Sue B.. As my growing area has shrank they will be a welcome addition to the container farm. But thats alright as I have my eye on the next store neighbors backyard that looks very promising.

Ami

Ok. All the yesterday's orders are also ready to go to the mail this afternoon.

So, everything gets mailed today, and you should start seeing the packages arriving to you in 6-10 days from today.

Thank you folks for ordering, I had am enjoyable weekend!

And yes, I still have the seeds left.

This is probably not the best place to post this, but since many folks were picking up other seeds with their orders, I ran out of some varieties, and have 1 last packet of Olesya, Donskoi, and Geranium Kiss left. So if you planned to get these, please do it now. I do not plan to offer them in 2013. Gildo Pietroboni is sold out. Very few packets of Terhune seeds left. I will also post this info in my catalog thread.

oops, forgot to mention that all the check orders are not shipping today, but I set aside all the requested varieties, so I do not run out by the time the payment arrives.

Thanks for the pointer Tania. I'm trying to gauge whether I should get involved with this latest set of New Dwarf releases, given how in over my head I am with the previous set.

Craig, Ted, I got the 2nd shipment of the dwarf seeds, safely and very timely, as I started to run out of Perth Pride seeds. Not suprizingly, it took a long time (17 days) to get here. Thank you!
