Shipping the current large number of such backorders will take us a couple weeks. We greatly appreciate your patience. </div><div>Please note that new orders placed now should ship within the first half of April.</div><div><br></div><div>January and February were the driest and warmest we've seen in 28 years of living in NorCal. This has completely thrown off our usual winter propagation work, demanded we spend an unreasonable amount of time watering, alleviating crises and has returned our anxiety about fire season.</div><div><br></div><div>We made some progress with nursery renovations this winter, but not as much as we'd hoped. More about this soon. This means that <i><font color="#274e13"><b>we will only be shipping retail orders intermittently this year</b></font></i> as we continue to take time out to complete renovations and reconfigure aspects of our operation in light of our erratically changing climate. The shipping schedule for the year will be posted soon,<i> know for now that we will be shipping all new retail orders received </i>at least<i> until May</i>. We will continue to handle orders from our Specimen Plant List and plant auctions throughout the coming year.</div><div><br></div><div><font color="#351c75" size="3"><b><u>The Eighth Mini Auction Fundraiser has begun! </u></b></font></div><div>See partway down our homepage for the terms and listings: <font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.sacredsucculents.com">www.sacredsucculents.com</a> </font></div><div><b><font color="#990000">Please read the full terms before bidding.</font></b> <i style=""><b style=""><font color="#38761d">All bids should be directed to our other email:</font></b></i> <b>benkamm@monitor.net</b> </div><div>The auction closes this Saturday, March 26, at 6pm PST (assuming we don't have further issues with our internet connection). </div><div>Auction plants should ship within a week of payment. </div><div><br></div><div>Our <font color="#351c75"><b>Specimen Plant List</b></font> has been updated today, this is posted just below the Plant Auction.</div><div>We've also updated the <font color="#351c75"><b>catalog PDFs</b></font>—available for download at the top of the homepage.</div><div><br></div><div>You must check out our compadre Neil Logan's work with Regenerative Agroforestry Systems: <a href="https://www.agroforestry.com/press-release">https://www.agroforestry.com/press-release</a></div><div><br></div><div>Perpetual gratitude for your ongoing patience, understanding and support during these tumultuous times!</div><div><br></div><div>Ben Kamm and family</div><div><br></div>Sacred Succulents<br>
