It's time to start making plans! The sale is less than a month away now.

Here is the link to the sale: http://www.ofts.com/bill/yardsale.html

The house where the sale is taking place is just north of the Heights in the Oak Forest part of Houston. (Google map of the address: http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozill...)

The sale starts at 7:00 am sharp, and I can tell you from previous experience that you need to be there no later than 6:45. This year the Houston Hemerocallis Society is selling plants at the sale, so I'm sure the selection will be VERY nice and extensive, and the website says the prices will still be very reasonable. List of plants available: http://www.ofts.com/hhs/plantsales.html

For the past several years, various small groups of us have met there & perused the sale (with varying degrees of success depending on the size of the selection and the time of arrival.. you can ask vossner for the rest of that story!) and then gone out for breakfast and nursery hopping (also with varying degrees of success depending on the sense of directions of the participants... I'll bring a map this time! LOL.)

I'm hoping this year YOU can join us!!! :-)

Here's our previous discussion: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/815014/

Where would you like to go nursery hopping? There are several fun nurseries in the Heights area that could keep us busy and several hours without using up too much gas. Or we could be adventurous and head north to Arbor Gate, or west to Teas or.... Here is the Go Gardening page showing a list of fun plant places within 50 miles of the sale: http://davesgarden.com/products/go/advanced.php?zip_distance...

Ok, it's your turn! What are you thoughts, ideas, and opinions? Are you coming? Which daylilies caught your eye on the webpage?

This is going to be fun!!! :-)
