Can I store it while in the fridge? Or should I freeze it? Thanks Greg A German is like a willow. No matter which way you bend him, he will always take root again. Member: MTPCA, NTA, FTA

Change last night. 17 deg when I got up this morning. I'm sure my new flats will be froze into the creek now. It moves slow. A German is like a willow.
