Jon, do you have any expectation of what time tonight the final list and instructions will be posted?

Thanks Andy, that's great news.
Instead of the alternative list being organized in numerical order it would be better from my standpoint to list them in order of my preference. Unless Jon tells us otherwise that is how I'll list my alternatives.

Maybe Jon can answer personally on this, but I think listing in order of preference makes it more difficult to fill the order, which is why Jon asks for it to be listed in numerical order.  If your alternate list is also in numerical order, then after he goes through your primary list, he can go through the alternate list to fill how ever many was missed from the primary.

Consider that your primary list has several that could not be filled due to high demand, so that he had to take many from your alternate that was not in numerical order.  It would make your order much harder to fill and could result in it being delayed.


Do we know how many of each variety we will be getting? If it's $8 each cutting and we get three of each x the 150 varieties I want, that could get expensive.

I'm here waiting for the new list to come out so I can place my order. It's 4:45pm on the east cost.
I hope Monday night doesn't mean 11:00 pm Pacific Time.

I hope he doesn't run out of brown turkeys like last time...

What's $3600 for some sticks?

I wonder how many people have already sent in their orders...

I think the final instructions will tell us, probably coded something like A = x pieces for y dollars, B = q pieces for r dollars, etc.  I think that will mean that, for example, if you order a variety V that is listed at $6 for 3 cuttings, you would give him $6 and in return get 3 cuttings that cost $2 apiece for a total of $6.  Don't know for sure, though.

I read a thread from a ways back (2010) where a person had mis-ordered because this issue wasn't clear in the instructions.  Pitangadiego said he'd clarify it in the future, so I presume it's clear nowadays.  (this will be my first time ordering)

Get ready boy's and girl's it's almost game time!

Wonder how many people on the east coast members are pulling a late night waiting party :).

My first time as well. Don't want to incur an unexpected bill. I have enough expected ones. "Baby I know we got kicked out of our house and are now living in a box, but look at all these sticks!" :-P

How will Jon announce the final list, It's almost my bedtime.

Jon did not say it was going to be Monday 2/10/14 did he?  What's another week?

No, he didn't.   I thought of that earlier. Lol
.

It would be just like him to pull a 1 liner like that.

Valentine's Day at 7 pm.... Put all of us in the dog house.

No kidding!  LOL

6 hours 21 minutes until it gets posted! So excited!

Does it matter if we get our order in tonight versus tomorrow morning?  Just wondering if sacrificing sleep will be for a greater goal or just a loss.  I noticed last year that Jon said the first several days of orders counted the same time wise.

Looking at B Mad 002 and 005 ( Encanto Red), and Burgundy 1 and 3 on Jon's list of available varieties - anyone know for sure if they are parthenocarpic or not?

Last year the first three days were all the same, who knows this year.

I wish I have an US address...so I am able to order all those cuttings that I want. Good luck everyone.

Time to call in sick...
