Johannian- what made you move from California to South Dakota? Wait...is your mom Kim? She used to post on this forum a little while back, if I remember correctly.
Well, I put in a small order with a newer vendor. Looks like their zone is colder than mine, so tubers probably won't get shipped until May, from what their website says, but I'm willing to gamble. Scored a couple of Wyoming Wedding tubers!
Scarlet, which variety was out of your budget? Sorry I can't offer any insight into seed saving, didn't even bother getting any seeds from my annuals this year.
Too many proverbial fires to put out, I guess.
