actually to clarify, i simply stated some facts in my comments. I didnt wage war on anyone. I will be the first to say I dont know why the pepper community is so full of drama. There is plenty of room for all involved to have fun and meet their business needs if that is what they are into and you dont need to cut peoples throats to do it. Im not out ragging on other companies or trying to demonize them. While I dont agree with the tactics some use, i think time and reputation will take care of that. We don't lie, steal or cheat to make our business prosper and we dont try to bring down other companies. I think our attitude and our business speaks for itself. We treat others as best we can and try to keep things honest. Anyone who knows us or our business knows that.
And to state the facts again Dale, a nursery registration is for one thing and one thing ONLY and that is to sell plants across state lines. You have to be inspected for disease. That cert has NOTHING to do with fresh produce. Do I have a nursery certification yet? No, I don't because I don't need one because I have never sent a plant outside of Ohio. Will I be getting certified next spring? Yes because we will now be offering plants nationwide.
And once again Dale, as everyone stated, you bring others into your battles that were not part of the battle. I got out of the last thing because I said my peace (which were facts as the above statement is) and left. I am not going to keep battling you and myself nor any other vendors owe you anything including posting any certificates/registrations. That my friend is none of your concern.
To finish, not only do we NOT demonize other companies, if you look at our new website, many of our products have a "video pod review" tab on them. I think all the "featured" ones do at this point and I hope to have at least one review on all of them soon. Regardless, if you look at them, many of them are reviews of or about OTHER seed companies and/or mention other seed companies. Puckerbutt, THSC, and pepperlover are just a few mentioned. In fact the Trinidad Scorpion ButchT review is none other than Neil Smith. I thought that was a fitting video for that product. Neil as you know is a direct competitor. Why would I do something as stupid as post another seed source on my own site? Because I believe exactly what I said above. There is plenty of room for everyone in this awesome industry. Some just need to learn that.
