Spring NE Roundup - Saturday June 28th

my one neighbor thinks i am nuts every year planting new pansies ... she has all her stuff evenly spaced and lined up in rows... me I want a pansy collage

:)

looks like you have some work ahead of you Kassia

Looks good, Kass!

I am inspired by you to go get pansies today. Thanks, Patti

One of today's articles is about Boston! (by me)

DOES ANYBODY MIND IF I DO AN ARTICLE FOR DAVE'S GARDEN ABOUT OUR ROUND-UP? It would include pictures (with DG name) unless you don't want it to, in which case it could just be fuzzy milling around shots with no identifiable faces.
(Probably wiser anyway.) Any other NE Forum writers care to take this on? xx, Carrie

Lovely photos, Harper and Kassia! How nice that we will all be able to feast our eyes in person! If I were your neighbor, Kassia, I'd be jealous of your lovely yard!

I wouldn't have a problem with it Carrie

Terrific, Allison, thanks. BTW, my rosydawngardens coleus arrived - aome of them are doing ok but some are not happy. :-( xx, C

oh no..... so sorry to hear that... i asked for the week before mothers day so I can have the planters ready for them... good luck I hope they spring back

I'm sure they will - plus I took cuttings while I was pruning off the sad parts. Oh, I couldn't wait that long!!!! I'll be way too busy then!!! xx, Carrie

Kassia, can you put your camera on a special "make me look skinny" setting. Thanks, Patti

I will take that photo lens too!

me three.

Hi everyone... roses are starting to arrive... saw a gorgeous white flower tree today... oh I almost caused an accident... but the darn tree was gorgeous!

you can write about the RU Carrie... no problem with me...

I have a new camera... that should be good!!!!

Thanks, Kassia. x, Carrie

It would be great to have an article written about our Round Up. It would make us all feel good, and it would teach the newer members about just what a Round Up is all about. (And of course, no one does a Round Up better than our NE Forum!)

:) .... I aggree Candyce... we know how to have fun! hey, have you guys seen the game Gardenopoly???? oh I am thinking of getting it... the only problem is nobody from my family would play it with me... if I get it can we play at the RU???? just kidding!!!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Garden-Opoly, is an organic property trading game that will grow on you. Players buy garden favorites, collect clay pots and trade them in for greenhouses. With aphid infestation, your water bill and a dandelion outbreak and it becomes difficult! The back of each deed contains interesting facts such as the appropriate climate, soil and watering for each plant as well as fun facts about origins, popularity and varieties. Choose your token and roll the dice. For 2 to 5 players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That sounds like a fun game to play. I've not heard of it before.

I got it... could not resist...

Kassia - judging from my water bill today, I must have aphid infestation!!! LOL

oh oh... I am getting ready for those beasts...

oh you guys I am so happy spring is finally here!!!!

I know it's a bit early for this but ...my honeys mom michele is going to bring pasta antipasto and I will bring some homemade cupcakes

Harper's bringing me...

Me too.

Anybody want to bring me? i think DH is going to be out of town that weekend.

I am going to be driving sort of by you Amy... if you want to come with us

Thanks. Hopefully, as it gets closer, lots of carpooling can be figured out - better for the environment and the wallet...

oh you guys, I am so excited... I got a jack in the pulpit!!!!!!! a gift from a wonderful woman!!!!! so exciting... I am planting Jack tomorrow....

I hope to clean up the back tomorrow and get the veggie garden all clean and ready for the tomatoes...oh so exciting!

I got a blueberry plant from another friend... do I need another one???

Oh I just can't wait to see you guys!!!!

Kassia - you do need more than one blueberry and more than one kind is even better!

Amy, I could take you.
Onewish-you might want to get on 84 instead of 95- or we could all meet.

Anybody want yarrow and monarda and coneflower? Oh, also heuchera. One of the easy, common ones, plum pufdding or maple leaf swirl or something. xx, Carrie

I am going which ever way the gps is taking me... i am bad with maps

:)

but yeah we can all meet up... plenty of room in my truck

Hey Kassia,
How have you been? I've been out of touch with everyone (long story). Heard form Victor that your goin to do the RU again this year. I'd love to come. It would give me a chance to explain in person why I've been amoung the missing.

She will not only be there, Chuck, she's hosting it!
Good to hear from you. I hope all is well.
david

I had some life changes due health, but we're coping. Hope everything is well with you.
