George,
Need help with all these cuttings your ordered? LOL

Just put mine in.
Hope Santa Jon fills my entire list.


Put in mine, too! Hope I get them all! Tim

Clarification (LOL!):
That is Jon's list (not mine).
You guys must have been joking!

Doggone it i only had room for 1 more.   : (

Order placed along with a question and i hope when they arrive the Misses is at work.


Gorgi,
To the unsuspecting eye, One would think Gorgi lost his marbles.
But to the ones that have seen Jons list then they would understand what you did.

Martin,
Sometimes it's good to lie to your spouse, I do it alot ( in a good way, LOL ).

Example; What? What package are you talking about? Let me see, Oh, ha ha ha, One of my fig buddies sent me some plants/cuttings, How nice of them. You know honey, There are some few good decent people out there after all.

Of course she never buys into it, She never does. But she understands it's harmless and a hobby and it keeps me home and out of trouble.

She just shakes her head, smirks and walks away.


I also put in my list.
As a newbie, I am still confused by the source nomenclature.  I say still because I ordered last year without understanding this.
I understand Jon is busy and will likely answer when he has time in 2 months, but if anyone else cares to explain sooner I would appreciate it.
Example-
If I wanted to order Black Mission there is an option of 6, NL, and Q.
The Black Mission small has a number 1007 and Jon says the 1000s are from the "FN" collection.
I have looked at the variety section sources but still do not get it.

Kyle

My question answered and order placed.
Italian cheek kisses to Jon now the hard part when they arrive as i will get 1 stick of each which is quite understanable and least i have a chance at something i could not otherwise get and if all fails i just try again next February !

;)(:

Rafed i used that excuse and i made a trade excuse as well, good thing im retired as the mail lady usually comes before she comes home from work.
But she is a sweetheart as she also shakes her head and long as they dont poke her when she needs to get into her car early in morning when they are stored she does not complain, as you said it keeps us out of trouble.

Woo HOO!  My order is in  :)   Thanks for making this possible, Jon!  I hope everyone gets what they want!

wow this is more exciting than christmas woohoo.

Nelson,
Don't forget to leave milk and cookies for Santa Jon

Nelson,

Chocolate is always appropriate.

Kyle,

The abbreviations indicate where they came from. They have probably arrived from a hundred sources. Some sources are publicly known, and others prefer to remain private. "FN" is a more private one. In many cases, such as Black Mission and Mission, there are many, many strains. "Q" came from Quail Gardens in Encinitas, CA.  "NL" Came from New Life Presbyterian Church, La Mesa, CA. I consider it the best I have tasted. I don't remember where "6" came from, at the moment. By using the abbreviations, you can see the differences when you look at the picture galleries at Figs 4 Fun. But what I like may not be what you like. IN any case, I keep them separate, rather than lumping them all together as "Mission" or "Black Mission".

When it comes to to Celeste, JN, PM, GM and IS have all been proven producers. Others have less history.




Lol Jon, Chocolates and some Madeira wine sound good?

Jon, do you have any idea when you will let people know if the cuttings requested are still available? I emailed my list and am just curious when I might know something. Thanks.

Sometime next week.

OK...I placed my order with Jon.....and then I ran right out and purchased all the clear 16oz cups my nearest Walmart had....in addition to 3 storage bins that were on clearance for $5 each.....

I keep telling myself....I will be patient...I will be patient...I will be patient....

You get mail before end of day. Some orders from up north Jon. Thanks.

Great list Jon, lots of desirable varieties. Placing the order in numerical order is difficult to say the least. I hope I am doing it right...

Yea Mike I am a little worried I may have done it wrong as well. I didn't totally understand the instructions but I think I have it right. 

I'm cofused where it says to ignore the pricing code letter, but Jon's example still has the letter in front of the number. Should I keep the pricing code or remove it?

Keep the Pricing code letter, but arrange them by the numbers, not the price code letter. They are stored by number.

Adam,

A candy bar will calm your nerves. I know, Trust me.

Jon,
Hope I did mine right the second time around.

Damnit, I just realized I didn't even order correctly.  Arrgghhh.

I left the number off.  I guess that's what I get for ordering from my BlackBerry.

Do I need to re-submit my order?

Yes, Jason, your order was round-filed for improper form. There's always next year.

I have packed the first orders, and sent e-mails. Hope to get a good portion of the rest done tomorrow and Thursday.

Jason: ;-))) see your e-mail.
