Yes, those are the ones that I want. Thanks!!

We're all friends, so I'm fine with paying you and having Chantell, Frenchy, and Robin pay me at the swap.

$3 x 34 = $102, plus $18.75 shipping = $120.75, did I get that right? If you do PayPal, I'll t-mail you my email address so you can send me a payment request. My shipping address is on my PP account. Otherwise, I'll get a check to you.

Paypal is fine Jill. But please wait until I harvest, just in case there needs to be a change. It should all be finished the beginning of next week.

I have several lost-tag semps that have effectively becomes noids, plus some green ones from the last swap, so noids are always welcome! Thanks so much, Lynn. I know it'll be a great box!

Okay, I need to know when you all will be gathering together? That will determine when I harvest and mail.

Saturday, September 10

Labor Day is Monday of that week (Sept. 5), so please take that into account. Given that USPS does "average" transit times rather than guaranteed ones, it's probably better to have it arrive a week ahead of time than to try to time it too closely. Frenchy lives closest to me, and she's about an hour away, so if we miss the date I'll end up having to re-ship, and I really really don't want to do that.

If you need until the end of next week to harvest & pack, please consider sending UPS instead of USPS. I don't think the semps will be especially heavy, so shipping rates shouldn't be too much more (I just did a quick check putting in 10 pounds as the weight and got $25). UPS still needs 5 business days (mail on Friday to arrive the following Friday) from Oregon to Maryland, but it's a guaranteed 5 days, not a hopeful approximation.

When I mail USPS Flat Rate they arrive in 3 days. But I can mail them on Sept. 2 if that works for you?

That would give some margin, thanks! I'm glad your experience with USPS has been consistent. :-)

With semps, I don't think there's any worry about the box "sitting over the holiday weekend." Depots are generally climate controlled, anyway, it's mostly the mail trucks that get hot.

When the box arrives put it in a cool place, even a refrigerator that does freeze.

My garage fridge generally has fruit in it, not sure if that's a no-go for semps like it would be for bulbs... but we keep the house fairly cool (ever since Jim started working at home & I started getting rampant hot flashes -- those 2 things are related only coincidentally!)

The order is harvested and ready to box up. All orders were filled. I will finish filling the box with NOIDs tomorrow. I'll try to put a mix of types, sizes and coloration.

You are welcome Chantell.
All cultivars are young offsets that should give you several years of growth before blooming out. Meanwhile in that time they should produce lots of offsets to carry on.
I just have to clean up the NOIDs before boxing everything up.
