Yes, yes, yes I want to come to both of them.

Wells, TX(Zone 8b)

whoo hoo let the fun begin!!!

Phyllis.. if you need help with ANYTHING please let me know.. Im happy to do whatever you need cause I know that organizing this isnt easy

(Carole) Cleveland, TX(Zone 9a)

I've never been to the Jacksonville RU - if this is what you're referring to.
I live in Conroe. I went to the RU in College Station last year and loved it!
If they're not having another one this year, I suppose I could get stuff ready for Jacksonville.

Prosper, TX(Zone 8a)

I'm going to try real hard to make this one weather or sun.

Sugar Land, TX(Zone 9a)

What town is Love's lookout at?

I believe it's just to the north of Jacksonville. I'm not sure, but no one has answered Cakjun. So I thought I'd give it a try, if I'm wrong someone will correct me :0)
As far as I know the East Texas round up is the same as Jacksonville RU. I've only been twice. Once was at Love's Lookout and the other Tyler state park. Sorry for all the confusion concerning the names. Hope that help.lol

Where ever it is, or what it's called, hope you can make it :0)

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

There is a map on the top of the "sticky" thread for events at the top of the TX Gardening forum. Has the exact location of the RU marked.

This reminded me that I need to add this one to the thread also! Phyllis...what time are you starting the RU? Also are you going to start a new thread or want me to reference this one? LMK

Yes, Love's Lookout is just a few miles north of Jacksonville, TX on Hwy 69 heading towards Tyler.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Prosper, TX(Zone 8a)

Looking to score a Sassafras if anyone has extra I would love to get one for a bonsai culture..

Ben Wheeler, TX(Zone 8a)

I have a question. May 15th is on a Sunday so I wanted to make certain this was the day?I only ask cuz the last 2 were on Saturday's if I remember correctly.
Mindy

Fort Worth, TX(Zone 8a)

Still need to know from organizers for sure the date and time to add it to the event list.

(Becky) Colmesneil, TX(Zone 8b)

I missed both times last year, and NO way I can do that again!! Gotta come see my friends, and meet new ones!! Phyllis... please say you're having it on a Saturday though..lol.. and I'll do what you need me to do

Perk... I'll start looking for some small.. sassafras,and I have some year old huckleberries if anyone is interested in them.

Alba, TX(Zone 8a)

I'm going to try for it. May 15th is cool, but another time will probably be fine as well. I'm finally digging up the rest of the canna Thai One On. So I'll finally have something to bring! Maybe some knifophia too.....hmmmmm.......

Prosper, TX(Zone 8a)

Wow thanks Becky. I would take 1 huckleberry too if you do not mind? I will be bringing some Chile, Tomato, and various flower plants and seeds with me so let me know if you want anything in return?

(Becky) Colmesneil, TX(Zone 8b)

ll give you 2... I should have said they were dug a year ago, and they have the blooms on them now! I'll let you know if there is something I want... believe me..LOL It will be good to meet you!!

(Phyllis) Flint,, TX(Zone 7b)

sorry I went missing had some changes going on in my life and got a lil lost for a week

Loves Lookout is just north of Jacksonville yes it is posted as a rest area on 69

Umm time ..how's 10am for a start time sound? but if you get there sooner that is fine and a lil late works too

ok so which works best for everyone Sat the 14th or Sun the 15th I am open either one for now

I've started working home care so we need to set it for sure so I can let them know asap
