Choices, choices…

Post by Cidermanrolls »

Next Saturday evening, Nov 12, I have too many options.

I could be watching Strictly in from of an open fire with my wife
I could be watching my eBay listings ending, or
I could be waiting for the ADBLPS seedlist to go live and then spending hours looking for treats and planning my sowing campaign.

I think ADBLPS wins for me.

Which would you do?

The eBay listings do get a bit addictive! I'm trying to not sow too much this year (aside from my own crosses and some aloe and agave I've already bought!) so I would be trying to avoid looking at a new seed list!

What time are we talking about ?, I struggle to stay awake once I'm in front of TV especially after a glass of wine.

I got quite spoilt with ELK as you didn't need to grow from seed as someone else would have done it for you

The website says the 2023 list goes live at 2022 CET on the 12th……. Let’s see if it does. I missed out on some of the less common Pterocactus seeds last year, just a couple of days after it went live.

I read it more as the 12th of November 2022, no time specified (midnight of the 11th perhaps?).

Where are you seeing these notices? I can't find them.
It will either be Bill or myself who uploads the seed list. If it's me, I'm afraid that it won't be done at any precise minute, as I may take a few mins figuring out how to do it :)

Paul, the very top of https://adblps-graines-cactus.com/index_EN.html, you might be thinking about a different list?

January was an update. Originally it is published in November, and its forthcoming publication is announced a week or two before.
