Yes FedEx but it's not cheaper, just more convenient because they pick up from my work when I don't have time to run to the post office. It is also easier to track. But as far as I know USPS is still the cheapest way except local. Not sure why the local forums are not more active.

olpea: In case you haven't seen it bacterial spot resistance is rated in their catalog. Nectafest is a USDA release out of WV and is rated 7 for bacterial spot resistance, pretty good. Only Avalon and SilverGem are higher at 8. Carene and Ambre are also a 7. So the ones you listed are about their best nectarines for BS resistance. The ones I like of Zaigers are rated 5 and 6. Thanks for the heads up about ordering. I requested an inventory list today.

My grandson turned 4 in April. He started the NT exactly as you described around 3. He seemed to have more episodes when he spent the night at our house than he did at his own. One thing I noticed (since I had him sleep in my bed with me and I am a light sleeper) he always started out by snuffling his nose as if he couldn't get air, then the thrashing, then the screaming. I was convinced it was a breathing issue, although Oprah had an entire show on it and it is supposedly just a brain thing. They said on the show that you should not try to wake them up, just keep them from hurting themselves and wait it out. They don't remember it and it is NOT from a nightmare. It occurs in the stage when you are not yet dreaming. I understand how scary it is when it happens but my grandson seems to have outgrown it too. I remember thinking if I didn't know he had a good life i would think he was being abused or something. He just spent the night lately and he snuffled and thrashed a few times but never did the whole screaming thing. His mother (my daughter) has always been a sleep walker and talker. We had a heck of a time waking her up sometimes. (another bizarre thing on Oprah that day, was Sleep Eaters! People actually get up , raid the kitchen and have no memory of it-not kidding-they filmed them and they were mortified) Hang in there, but you might have a while to put up with it.

Wow, it looks like a beautiful climber. Back in 2013, someone on HMF asked David Bang if his roses would ever be available to the home gardener. He replied that he hoped so and that he was testing a number of his roses with Star Roses and other companies from other countries and that it would be many years before they complete their testing. To the person who posted the question, he went on to say that if there was a particular rose he liked that was rejected for testing, he could produce it and sell it to them. It's been awhile since that post. I wonder how the testing is going. Here is a link to his page on HMF: David Bang
