Ray,

I too have been wondering how long autumn 08 will last in Idaho, but Rainbow's NA list has been out for several months - mine are already sown. This isn't much later than I've known Sims to put up his list in previous years, but why don't you email him to ask. Whenever I've had to speak to him he's always been prompt and responsive.

Hi Rob,thanks for the reply. I did send David an e-mail and didn't receive a reply maybe send him another one,strange about Francom though,have been going to their site every couple of days and it tells me their site is under construction,so if you have already got your seeds and their in,so will definitely be sending them an e-mail.bye Ray

Ray,

Rainbow certainly hasn't put up seed lists in all the categories on her site. I don't think she will this year. But in any case the primary attraction has to be the west coast seed she offers. Remembering previous years offerings in the other categories, whilst they're good, they're nothing you can't get elsewhere.
