What a week! Sounds like lots of good relationships strengthened and forged. Good for you and DG - thanks for continuing to grow this thing !

Good for you Dave and for DG too!

Just when we think Daves Garden can not get any better you pour on that charm of your's and bring in more wonderful thing's to our garden!

Just don't let any of them see the picture of you with the Love Lies Bleeding on your head! LOL

hey, way to go dave!

re:)

Hey, Way to Go, Dave! (Echoing Lisa, LOL.)

That's very exciting that you were asked to speak and share your experience and ideas with those that we do business with. Again...just another reason that I feel so good and am so proud about being a member of Dave's Garden.

Deb

And, another echo. :-)

It is always nice to share and learn from others in our field of expertise. This type of action cannot help but create new and exciting business opportunities for you. Congratulations. It has been fun watching this site grow from a personal hobby into a growing business that serves you and your family while offering us a great place to share.

Best wishes and hopes for a bright tomorrow!

Hi Dave: What a great job you have done with the website making it a warm a welcoming place. Wishing you and Daves Garden all the best.

That's wonderful Dave. I am sure you could teach them somethings and sounds like you got some ideas as well. Congrats.

Our 'fearless leader' has returned!

Good job Dave...although you always do everything to the best of your ability, and what is best for the community.

I can't wait to see what great things come from this experience. Bet you had everyone's attention!

Oh my gosh, that must have been a very enjoyable conference. I get so excited when I see how you are going beyond just a simple garden web site, like when we all just started. I'm very proud of what you do for our site and what you are doing for yourself and family.

I also can't wait to see what type of new ideas you have come home with....and I hope that some of these companies have really listened to what you had to say. I know you gave them some insight about how important a "good" mail order company should be run. lol

Congrats to you.

Donna

COOL!

Dave
Was Rob Johnston there from Johnnys Selected seeds?

Congralts also, I'm sure your suggestions got their attention.

Wonderful job, Dave!!!! :o)

I am impressed, as always, with the latest reports of the conference. Good job, Dave! The contacts you made there and the things that you learned while teaching others will probably be more valuable to you in the future than you could ever imagine now. As usual, you are always open to new ideas and willing to incoopertate them into your life and business. You are always on top of the latest things and coming up with new ways to meet the needs of the gardening and computer world. That is one of the reasons you are so successful in what you do. On a scale of 1 to 10, you get a high 10, as usual.

Dave, did you talk to anyone about possible group purchase offerings for DG members? I wish we had more feedback from vendors about what form future co-ops might take and just wondered if you were able to get feedback from anyone.

Wowzers! Will wonders never cease!?

Good going, Dave. No doubt about it, it sounds like EVERYONE benefitted from that gathering. What a great group of folks to spend time with!

Sounds like an absolutely wonderful time was had by all! Thanks for sharing your workshop with us :-)

It's so wonderful to belong to a group that has such an eloquent spokesman! How satisfying to see you get the recognition that you so richly deserve. Well done!!

Way to go Dave!!

I just saw this thread and the news - that's great, Dave! That must have been some fertile ground for both good business and friendships.

Way to take the Bull by the horns, so to speak....Great job

Good on you, mate. So glad that you are going forward ever further with "our" garden site. Hope we never wear you out, am happy to hear the conference was a good experience... we await whatever newness you wish to add....

funny thing I never saw the 'news' tab before this morning. how long has that been there? heehee I _must_ explore this site more . LOL ~Blooms

I can hardly wait to see what is going to happen now. Thank you so much. Joan

I can't begin to tell you how pleased I have been to have joined DG, and how proud I am of being a subscriber. Your concern for us and for gardening in general is just great. I think it is great that you are spreading the word of DG's work even with all the work we hand to you. Thank you. Dotti
