Title: Holubec list
Post by: cohan on January 30, 2010, 06:57:31 AM
hello!
i've tried a couple times over several weeks (jan 9 and jan 21) to confirm an order (i.e. confirm availability before ordering and  sending payment, as suggested in the seedlist)
with Wild Seeds /Vojtech Holubec; so far no response;
does anyone know of any extraordinary conditions, or timetables i didn't see that might suggest a reason? was i perhaps too late, seed sent only before year end?
just curious if i'm missing something, or should just forget about it...

It can be pretty cold in Patagonia even in summer, can't it, so at least the cold back home won't be too much of a shock  to Vojtech!  ;)

Olga  - Have you been able to download his Patagonian seed list? It is separated from his regular list but appears to be the same when downloaded and/or it fails to load.

Maggi can you please send it in this direction too? My credit card is in a sad state at present especially after getting Hokonui's autumn list two days ago, with, among others, 2 Nototriche species listed!!! but I may be able to squeeze a little more from it. ;D :-\

Thanks Coahn. I click on Patagonian and get the same list as the rgular seed list. Maggi sent me the Patagonian list as an attachment. She couldn't get the regular list so I sent that to her. Strange.

indeed, and apparently enough to make me throw out my good sense with my good money and order a few..i have seen some patagonians rated as low as zone 3, which makes them feasible here, but very difficult to tell from the information i was able to track down whether anything i ordered is that hardy.....
