Re: Agri-starts..
Paula,
FYI If you can afford the second tray they basically ship for free because the box dimentionalizes, and the weight of the two trays is not greater than the dimentional weight of the box. Michael

Re: Agri-starts..
Well, now what? Mail came but no plants. Did anyone get plants that were to be shipped Monday 13th?
Richard, you out there?

Re: Agri-starts..
He hasn't been online since 4/12. I hope he's ok. Can anyone call him?
I'm fine waiting for the plants but we need to make sure he's ok...since he would've told us that he is going somewhere. |

Re: Agri-starts..
No plants here either. Yesterday I looked at Richards spreadsheet and the 4/6 shipments for me weren't crossed off (which he does once he ships the plants). I hope all is well with him.

Re: Agri-starts..
I'm worried now. Is there anyone who lives near San Diego that could call or check on Richard??

Re: Agri-starts..
That's not very nice, or funny. Are you part of this co-op? If not I would keep your comments to yourself.

Re: Agri-starts..
I've been away for two days and got back late today and did have a package from Richard with a sample of this mystery plant discussed at Banana Gallery - Nikki's mystery fruiting plant and it was shipped on 4/14. I didn't have any plants scheduled to be shipped to me until 4/20 so I don't have anything to report about this week's shipment. I did get an e-mail notice about the shipment departing San Diego from USPS so I would think the Agri-Start shipments this time around would also happen this way.
Did anybody try calling Richard today? Pitangadiego may live closer to Richard than anybody else here, though I'm not positive about that. Hope everything is okay! |

Re: Agri-starts..
I must admit I'm also getting concerned for him. Someone please post as soon as you hear anything.

Re: Agri-starts..
Hey Tony, good hearing from you again. Sorry, I got my fish goofed up.
I agree 100% with Tony. There must be a good reason, and once he is able to respond, I am certain that everyone will understand. I will personally vouch for him. |
