My Fedco veggie seed order just came in yesterday's mail! One of my major milestones as the winter season turns.

Frank, I&#39;m lucky to have a doorman in my building who accepts packages and if I expect to be away for a few days, I beg him to open the box that says PLANTS:PERISHABLE and give them a drink. All of the mail order Cos. that I&#39;ve spoken to say they only ship Mon. or Tues. so there won&#39;t be a warehouse holdover on the weekend.<br />Any friendly neighbors who will accept a package?

My question, Ellen, is how do you receive your mail order plants? This is the biggest grief for me, because I cannot be home to receive the UPS package, and if you&#39;ve never missed UPS in Brooklyn, the package ends up in a warehouse somewhere near JFK! <br /><br />As much as I&#39;d like to mail order plants, it&#39;s hard to receive them. What do you do?
