I am running the MGF(Mediterranean Gardening France) and the MGS(Mediterranean Garden Society) seed exchange and I can assure you that, since January, I sent 2 orders to UK and one to Oakland, CA without any phytosanitary certificate from Montpellier, southern France, where I live, and the three members have received the seeds safely. How is it possible, I can’t tell. I don’t think the reverse is possible.

David Palmer, in our local NARGS, chapter had 16 packets pulled for alleged ?fungus? contamination this year. in contrast Terry Laskiewicz, in our group, got all her AGS seed and is still waiting on her SRGC seed. It really seems to depend a lot on the inspector you get and how much coffee they had that morning and what side of the bed they got up on. >> >> Jan Jeddeloh >> >>> On Feb 21, 2022, at 3:03 PM, R Hansen via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: >>> >>> On the West Coast, I've had really good luck with Seattle APHIS office. >>> >>> Robin Hansen >>> Coquille, Oregon USA >>> Cold, wet, hail, wind, snow coming then sunny frigid temps.
