Shipping season is over!

[Steverd]

Well after another morning of below freezing temps (29' this morning) I decided to
completely end the shipping season of plants and leaves.

What's your thoughts on Wintertime shipping?

Sure I can get 60 hour and 72 hours heat packs.
But do I want to do that? Is a 60 or 72 hour heat pack too long to use
when shipping to a warmer area? This time of the year, I would maybe just
need heat packs long enough to get the package out of Spokane.

I also do not like dealing with insulation, too itchy, I could try Styrofoam
lining, but it's not as good as real insulation.

Please post your thoughts and opinions on this!

Thanks,
Steve

Steve - try cellulose insulation, it doesn't cause itching. Also, you should contact Travis about shipping with heat packs. (TVIOLETS@aol.com or Travis Violets: Ocklocknee, Georgia) One time I ordered from him in December & he shipped with a heat pack & everything was fine even tho it was snowing & very cold here.

I just got plants from Travis and I live in Wisconsin and it is January
They all came alive and blooming he knows how to ship them well might want to talk to him.
We need Violets in the winter too
