Still nothing. I'm sure it must be a conspiracy...

But, the big question is:

Was the rock postage due?

I'm hoping to get the E & R catalog soon. Got the Pinetree one yesterday.

All I know at this point is that the mailman has been behaving suspiciously.

I never give substitutions. I always have always hate when companies do that. I try to get a hold of people to ask what they want to do especially with small orders. And I give refunds for out of stocks that are not going to be back in stock. I don't like the keep the money automatic thing either.
I suppose that's the good thing of starting a business later in life, you remember all the things you didn't like and try not to do them to others. Mistakes still happen, but the frequency is kept at a very low rate, and then it is easier to deal with them when they occur.

Deborah,
You are too funny!

Just FYI you folks this site here http://freebies.about.com/od/homegar...d-catalogs.htm has a huge list of them and if you use Chrome (you should) then all of the forms will auto-fill so you can request all the ones you want in a few mins. I ordered way too many

About the mailman-I just happen to remember a couple of karate moves from my youth...

Don't jump to conclusions until you get your Pinetree catalog and it has coffee rings on the pages!

Territorial catalog arrive today. Was shocked that almost all tomato seed was F1 hybrid seed. It made me wonder if this is a customer-driven phenomenon.

Too many catalogs come that I have no need for, and not just seeds. Some are works of art but two or three would be enough for me. SO much info is online now and a lot is duplicate info. . Its a shame to waste all these catalogs and energy it takes to get them here.
