		<description>Heirloom Acres does take a while to fulfill orders.  They&#039;re just a regular family, not a huge corporation.  As long as you know you&#039;re in for a 3-4 week wait and order accordingly, groovy.  :)  

Just wanted to make sure you&#039;re far enough north for the WW onions...  they&#039;re long day onions if I remember right, so won&#039;t bulb up if you don&#039;t have something like 14-15+ hours of daylight or so during the height of summer, they won&#039;t do their thing.  And again, depending on your growing season, Moon &amp; Stars (if I remember right) isn&#039;t one of the shorter season melons.  I&#039;m attempting Blacktail mountain this year, so we shall see if I get any melons this year.  :D

I had more thoughts, but have since forgotten them because of a mud-covered child vying for attention.</description>

		<description>Hi Alex,

Yes, I did order my seeds from Heirloom Acres. I ordered my seeds on Jan 12, and got them 3 weeks later. I haven&#039;t had any trouble contacting them either. The one time I called, the line was busy, but I tried again a little later and got Thom himself. I know the later you order, the longer you might have to wait because stuff is back ordered. Keep trying to get a hold of somebody. Don&#039;t worry, they&#039;re probably really busy with spring orders :) Good luck! I hope you get them soon.</description>

		<description>Kendra,

If I remember correctly, you ordered your seeds through Heirloom Acres, correct?  I&#039;m asking because I ordered seeds through them as well.  I ordered them a little over 3 weeks ago and have since tried to contact them twice to check the status on my order.  I have yet to receive a response back from anyone over there.  How long did it take for you to get your seeds?  Did you have any issues in trying to contact them?  Thanks.</description>

		<description>Hi Christina,

As a beginner, I wasn&#039;t sure how much I could handle right off the bat, so I ordered one packet of 50 seeds of each variety that I would be planting. I have some books that tell me how much I would need to plant of something per person though. Maybe I should do a post on it, hmmm...</description>

		<description>I am starting my first garden this year and am really appreciating your advice.  Can you tell me how much of these seeds you ordered.  I also have a family of 4 and have no idea how much to order.  Thanks so much.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the list. We don&#039;t have space at our apartment to plant very much, so I&#039;d better make sure what I plant is worth it!</description>
