An update: Right now it's going to be another 12 hours or so before we get this thing working. I haven't pressed our webmaster for the 'why' of these seemingly interminable delays, but at least I know he's working on it. His last words to me were "but yes, we are getting closer. At this point, it looks like we'll go live tomorrow for sure." That was as of 5:54 EST, Cross your fingers!

Just a suggestion.  I only have the basic list which doesn't have an order form - this I have because it was emailed to me and I'm one of the people who can't open up the lists as posted.  However, if we could get an electronic version of the order form (maybe in excel format but not pdf'd), could we email the order in?  It may take the pressure off trying to get the system going.  I feel for the people doing it - it's so close to Christmas and everyone is always busy getting ready to celebrate Jesus birthday.  The only snag would be paying the $15 - we could pay online but you'd have to match up who's paid and who hasn't.

As you might imagine, I'm more than a bit frustrated by this situation. I have promised 'one more day' for too many days now, so I'm not promising anything. But I do know that the webmaster appears to have virtually every glitch addressed, and with only one or two left, it shouldn't be more than one more day until we're live. I sincerely hope that tomorrow is the day. Thanks for your patience!

Just done my seed order - worked like a dream, and having had my "shopping list" ready for a few days, it only took about 3 minutes! Well done and thanks to everyone concerned, the wait was worth it.

Just to note that the vast majority of the work to make this happen was done by Chris Klapwijk, our webmaster, and Laura Serowicz, the Director of the Seed Exchange. Joyce Fingerut and Bobby Ward also played major roles in this project and we should thank them all for their work and their persistence in overcoming the inevitable series of tiny problems which collectively almost killed two or three of us. And for those of you who haven't had the opportunity to peek at the seed selection, methinks you'll be surprised at the variety and the quality. To those of you who are Christians, have a wonderful Christmas. To those Jews among us, Chag Urim Sameach. And for the Pagans, I'm confident that your Solstice celebration was truly memorable.

I've never spent so little time putting in an order. 
With simple and easy to follow directions, it went so smoothly!

Clearly, there was a mountain of thought that went into this.
-- (Not to mention a world of work!)

My gratitude to everyone involved!
