Thanks for the information, D
**Tonight is the sign-up deadline for this project. If there are no warm/hot growers joining us from Europe, then we, here in the U.S., can confine our availability searches to U.S. vendors. The intermediate and cool growers will still have to have dual-availability.

That's it folks! 
We'll go over everything in tomorrow's chat, add the ones that we like and get more opinions through the thread until Saturday.
Do we want to take the ten from each group with the most names listed next to them by the end of the day on Saturday OR do you want to send me your top three picks and I will calculate the top ten from there? Remember, out of those top ten, I will blindly choose five to go to the polls
