Marc,
 I don't think there's anything I can write that will help you at this time.
I had a 5 gal. pail stolen from in front of my house that had 2 Charleston's
in it this summer & I was devastated.......... I will tell you that your PO
Box will be filled with seeds for next year if you want to start over. Just
let me know & I'll see to it you have more than 250 varieties for next
season.
     Paul
