Update on the tree order!

We went over the list of what everyone wanted, we didn't quite hit the $200 mark but we were going to order and make up the difference. But, I just got done talking with the nursery and almost half of what everyone wanted was gone shortly after he sent the availability list out.
But.... He said that if we wanted to get orders together for NEXT YEAR(Spring 2025 shipping/planting) we'd be able to get exactly what we want instead of ordering from what's left. So if you STILL want to place your order, let us know ASAP. They're doing planting right now for next year. Prices will be pretty close if not the same. We don't pay until they ship next spring.
I told him I'd have the list for him by tomorrow morning so if you're still interested please let us know. We still have to meet the $200 mark to place the order. I'm sorry everything was gone so quickly. Last year was the first year he did the wholesale and everyone he sold to jumped on it again this year. I can't blame them, they're great quality trees and you can't find the prices anywhere else even with shipping costs.

Fruit trees available again at wholesale prices!
This is the same nursery that I dealt with last year. Here's the entire list of available trees as of this morning. I MUST have at least a $200 order. That's not my rule, it's the nursery. If I have enough people interested in trees to fulfill that, I'll order. Please keep in mind that they ship by FedEx. There's a $40 shipping fee due up front and the rest of shipping is due the day they ship. I have no way of knowing what the total shipping cost will be. Last year it was right at $100 for 85 trees. So whatever the total shipping cost is will be divided equally among whoever orders. If we get a $200 order, even with shipping costs it's still way below retail prices for the trees. If you're interested, please comment or message me and I'll keep a total. If we get enough orders, I'll contact you again and let you know an approximate total (your trees plus the $40 divided among everyone). That payment will be due upon ordering. The rest of the shipping costs are due the day they ship, after I know the total. I need to turn this order in quick. Please let me know by this Sunday. The longer we wait, the less chances are that what you want will still be available.

I'm sure some of you have seen all of our pumpkins laying on their sides and wondered why. Well, there's a really good reason for it! Pumpkins need to be cured so they last! By laying them on their sides and rotating them every day we're making sure that the moisture inside isn't collecting around the bottom or the stem so it doesn't rot as fast. No matter where you buy your fall pumpkins and gourds, make sure you ask them if they've cured the pumpkins for you. If they haven't, make sure you do! Your pumpkins can last for months if they're cured! After they're cured, you can go ahead and dip them in a disinfectant solution like vinegar and water. 10 parts water, one part vinegar.
