does anyone know a grower in Victoria who is able to supply green seed on the stem...several growers in Qld and NSW who supply it, but it is logistically too difficult to freight (to keep frozen) to Melbourne...I am after 20-30 kg's to freeze for the breeding season...any help would be greatly appreciated...regards, Paul

If more Melbourne or Victorian people wanted green seed it would be better to all pitch in an get a pallet sent from Lowes in Refrigerated freight. Because i would get some as well. More like heaps.

Lowes might not have stock due to floods? There's a farmer in shepparton, that was at most bird sales last yr who grows the French white, il pm his number if u want it.
