... the sudden realization that December 15th (when the NARGS Seed List is published)
has 24 hours just like all other days leading up to this day and you don't know in which
of the hours list will be open to view :-\

December 15th starts at different times for NARGS members. Which timezone are we using?
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
Don't know Peter - but it's exciting waiting - like Christmas stockings. Now go back to sleep or Santa won't come!
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
I was wondering whether I was missing it somehow?
Thanks for expressing that you are waiting too.
I put the Seed Exchange right up there with Santa Claus!

been waiting since 5:00 am for seedex-i see now that it will open at 6:00 pm est-much better than santa!
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
There will be some new and unusual wild collected seed in the Seed Exchange, so make sure you get there early! Alplains sent us some very nice material at a sharp discount. Take advantage of it.
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
6:00PM EST means I am in my bed :-\ I stayed up late last night and was very early up this morning too to drive my daughter to the airport (she and some friends want a little pre Xmas weekend in London, can't understand why ;) ) Hopefully it is some interesting things left early Sunday morning!

There should be no worries about that!
Last year I had to send my request by "snail mail" as I was off work when the system went "live" and I still got a great lot of seed! This year we have a computer at home - which we only got operational yesterday! Only 3 hours to go!

I pity the poor suckers who don't garden. The have nothing to look forward to in January except dark and dreary days whereas for gardeners it's the start of Seed Starting Season. Don't you think that should be an official season? On year I even sent out cards (ok I'm weird even for a gardener).
Only one more hour to show time.

If you're in touch with Chris do give him our best wishes.
Having been online for the last 14 hours waiting and it now being 11 pm UK time I'm going to bed ... perchance to dream ... of seeds !
Prayers for Chris' family and all concerned
I don't know Chris but please let him know that prayers are spoken for his family and all concerned.
Having loved ones in the hospital around the Holidays is more difficult than the rest of the year. The
accumulation of stress can be mind-bending. :-[
I'll back away from the "doors" to the seed and give him some breathing room. I'm certain that I'm
pressing against the doors the hardest.
Kind Regards,
James :)
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
We all hope and pray for the best possible outcome, regarding Chris and his family.

When I order from the Seed Ex, I don't always get the seeds I want the most,
but goodness, I've never, ever, ever been disappointed!
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
So [color=yellow]very, very, [color=yellow]very, true!

Sending out cards sounds like a good plan! I may have to "steal your idea" :)
Re: Nothing may be as stark a realization as...
Yay! The seedlist is on-line!
But I'm now at work!
Will have to finish early and get home to work on it! ;D
cheers
