Yep.
Designing the card and content now, Daryl. Will go into the mail first week
of January. Will probably follow up on Facebook and our newsletter members
with a discount for early orders.
We could never afford a color catalog, so web site is big advantage for
us... full color throughout. Level field of competition there.....
Also I am getting too lacking in enough energy to go thru this process every
year. Catalog takes from September thru December out of my life. Along with
the big bucks for printing and post office.
	Just have to see where it all goes.... meanwhile, hope that everyone
has a most greatest of Thanksgivings. I a still here and all my tests come
out clean on both cancers this week....

Are you going to send out a color postcard to remind your customers to look 
online?

I understand about the cost of a catalog. A lot of family nurseries are 
having the same problem, and even many of the bigs are purging mailing 
lists. I'll miss the color pictures in many of them, though. It gave me 
something to slobber over when I was too tired to garden.
