At least they notified you. I ordered my garlic last May from Siskiyou Seeds in Oregon, to be shipped in August. With August quickly passing and the credit card they were given about to expire—I had already received the new one— I tried to contact them twice each both by email & phone. No replies; no charges to the card before it expired; no explanation or apology.
I scrambled, and finally found somebody —Keene Organics— that wasn’t out of stock of the variety I wanted, and I was able to order & get it in September. Had a very nice conversation with them on the phone.
They still have some varieties in stock, and are taking & shipping orders up to & including today, Monday, 10/15 http://keeneorganics.com/purchase_2012_organic_garlic
Many suppliers had bad or no crops this year due to the drought & other weather problems, so seed garlic was in short supply for many varieties.
Thanks for the links and sympathy.LOL.
