Hi Laura, haven't checked this site in a few days so my late acknowledgement to you ) I called, they said my card was approved, and that I could pick it up when it's printed (asked if I could). The woman I talked to said my copy of the paperwork I sent them & my MD's recommendation was useable in lieu of my card, until I get it. Anyway I really want to get started on this and get some plants going, let me know what you think, thanks!
