Welcome to Shenri for joining the joiner's group!
Seeds of ALL CP species are welcome here.
What may be common in your collection is on someone else's wish list.

It is donors like you that keep the Seed Bank going.
Look at the ICPS Seed Bank inventory right now, they have one species of seed in stock.

Good growing,
Mike

For what it’s worth, I don’t think it’s really due to a lack of donors. I think Joe has been having some issues managing everything — I sent in about 90 packets of seed a couple months ago, and they still haven’t showed up in inventory.

Either way, it's sad.
The ICPS Seed Bank was the biggest reason for me to join the ICPS years ago.
That idea inspired me to set up the FTC Community Seed Bank.

People are still waiting for seed they sent in more than a year ago to show up on the ICPS seedbank inventory. It's effectively dead.

I wondered about that. I thought something must be wrong but when I asked over at the ICPS forum all they would say is:

The seedbank depends on donations and time from our volunteer(s) to sort, (re)pack and put them on the list.
All of those factors make or break the bank so to speak.
There is some material in that pipeline but more donations are, as always, most welcome.

Doesn't look good.

My question is. What happened to all the seeds that where sent in that never showed up on the list?
