You are too funny Anita :)
Anita you don't have to wait for April. I've been shipping to everyone sense November depending where they live. And my plants are not that small . Except for the mini's or micro minis :)) Some blooming ! I try to give everyone at least one blooming plant :))
Lorry I'd like Persian Prince lol
LOL..I have some persian prince leaves up! And they are well rooted...So hopefully, with luck...I will have one of those to give ya soon :)
I just thought I would ask about the persian violet LOL...
Allison - I thought it was too cold in my neck of the woods for shipping? Long Island..
I saw on TV you guys had a 65 day in New York yesterday people playing golf and stuff. lol
I have shipped to New York year round with Heat Packs and I buy the big rolls of think insulation.
You are experienced one - I will follow your lead. If you think it's safe then that's good enough for me.
Anita did you get your plants ! How are they doing ? Pictures please :))
These are the plants I won - She emailed me and said that it was a bit too cold to ship so she would wait a little - I told her no problem. As soon as they come I will post pics.
Yes better to wait to ship when it's this cold even heat packs and insulation won't save them. Spring will be soon !
Not soon enough - we are supposed to have a blizzard this weekend!!! Winter has finally realized where we were..
Oh gosh we are having record breaking cold weather too. 30's night high 50's day low 50's.it Is too cold .to
cold to ship
I can't even say the word blizzard. Brrrr. I don't know how you all take the cold like that.
I've been spoiled with this early spring weather (which I know wont likely last)
trust me - I'm working and saving so I can move South in ~10 years!!!
We're pretty mild here in California, and yet, I'm doing the same, I keep trying to get DH to move to Hawaii.
Our youngest has four more years of school and then he's off to college.
One night a few months ago we went out to dinner with some good friends. Of course we had plenty of good wine, we do live in the Napa valley afterall, and DH agreed to move soon. So when I reminded him the next day, he of course had amnesia (and a little hang over) but I reminded him that I had witnesses! They all heard him say it too! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
So hopefully when the kids are off to college, we'll be off to Maui or the big Island! I could do Thailand too...
My brother lived in Hawaii when he was in the service. I hear it's extremely expensive! I do want to go visit some day!
Honestly, it's not all that much more expensive than California (maybe by 10% more). My recent trip to Ky blew my mind on how cheap things were there.
I think its all relative to the salaries -
