Hi, I seem to have Lyme disease among other things and have been taking Madre Labs "Midori Greens". I'm guessing that as good as this formulation is it would pale in comparison to ingesting the living plant daily. I'm interested in buying at least 3 plants. I live in Mentone, CA would you be close enough that we could meet halfway? Oh and how much would it be for three or four? Have they been grown outside? Thanks.
Yes they have been grown outdoors, but I live in a very cool, cloudy, coastal area so you may need to slowly acclimate them to your area as I know it gets much hotter in mentone. I will be out in Alta Loma either next weekend or the following weekend which is pretty close so I could bring a few plants with me. Unfortunetly I tried to ship about 5 plants and almost all of them didn't make the journey so i'm not sure if I can ship them after all unless it's something like 2 day shipping.
I'll take 2 when they are ready.
That would be awesome. I would love some pepper seeds for myself and a few ashitaba seeds to send to my sister in Washington as well. The healing properties of fresh ripe peppers are truly amazing. I think it goes beyond bioflavonoids. I think it has to do with the enzymes that some fruits only have when truly ripe and some can exist only in that one fruit. Also it appears that fruits that have been in direct sunlight have properties that others from the same plant but shaded do not have. Anyway let me know what you can do. I really appreciate it, thanks.
How much is the extra mailing charge for 2 day nor overnight? I had wanted 5 plants.
I tried shipping 4 plants in a large USPS box and only 1 survived. It took the USPS 4 days to deliver it from Cali to DC. Basically the plants are very sensitive when it comes to heat and once they dry out the stem wilts at the base and the plant dies. I was also trying to find some type of plant shipping box as well because no matter what you do the box could end up on it's side, up side down, tossed flipped etc etc.
So far no luck on plant shipping boxes that would allow me to put more soil around the plant to help it from drying out.
Anyone have any suggestions? I figure if your only a few states away from Cali it shouldn't be a big problem using USPS, but 4 days in summer heat will probably kill the plants if they go to the east coast.

Thats fine, I can get seeds no problem. So how would we do this exactly?
Is there an update? Stil concerned about plants not making it east coast.
Any plants still for sale. I am in the bay right now and will take the 101 home next Saturday. Let me know if it's still available.

So I ordered some live plants from somewhere so I could see how they package it
1. I ordered 3 so they put it in MFRB
2. All 3 where taped to each other
3. And they were all shrink wrapped individually
4. They rolled up some paper to keep soil intact and to provide moisture (keep)
5. All three where securely taped to the box so there was no chance of them moving in the box.
Hope this helps just in case you plan on shipping them still
Denniz. Feel free to pm me
Btw they came from Oregon and I had it shipped to San Francisco area. Shipped July 25. Received today. 7/27

I still have over 50 plants. I've basically run out of room and the plants are at their peek growing state so at this point they are growing faster than I want them to so i'm just trying to give them away. lol
I've ordered my initial plants from Richo a few years ago and 1 out of 3 plants I received didn't make it. I used that same way to try and ship to the east coast and 1 out of 4 plants arrived alive. That's why I was looking for a better way to ship them.
I can tell by looking at your plants that they where already starting to suffer from being shipping. Another 2 days in the box and they may not have made it.
Enjoy the plants and let me know if you need any help with them. I've manged to get my as high as 5' tall!
