I can't wait to see all you guys. Nance, I so wished you could have made it, but as you say, there will be other RUs ... somewhere.
I am going to have to start a list of attendees, so I can warn the neighbors about parking ~ LOL!! Can't you just see me knocking on their doors and asking ... 'excuse me, may we borrow your lawn for parking?' And then to see the looks on their faces when I let them know about all the wonderful plant people who will be visiting the neighborhood.
October Round-Up in south-western New Hampshire
Harper - we could probably just talk that long!
Candyce: I will see how far you are from me. We run a Sanctuary for ElderAnimals and Special Needs Animals, so I can't be gone long - and I am not only the founder, but the Chief PooperScooper and LitterBox wrangler. I would LOVE to jump right into this newfound community with both feet. If I can't find a replacement caretaker for that date, you'll all see me at the next and nearest RU! It sounds like mucho fun! And lots of tip-trading!
Welcome, Morrigan!! I applaud you most heartily for the work that you are doing. I hope we do get to meet you at an RU soon!
Louise
Me too, Morrigan - it is so hard when an older pet is left behind. I'm dealing with that myself, right now. You couldn't have joined us at a better time - I need all the help I can get.
Thanks, DOnnieBrook! You guys awe me....how many people are gardening organically in this forum?
morrigan!
We'd love to have you join us, if you can make it. You are doing such winderful work wirh our furry babies. I admire ANYONE who can do that kind of work. It would be an honor to meet you.
So, let us now as the date gets closer, if you'll be able to attend.
In the meantime, I am composing a Group List in my mailbox so that I can d-mail everyone who has accepted, or think they may accept, the invitation to the RU so far.
It looks like we may have thirteen DG people for our Round Up so far. I hope we can get a few more to come and visit.
Yes, I will let you know, Candyce. AYankeeCat: What do you need to know? How can i help???
Can't wait to meet everyone! I've been eyeing the plants that need dividing---that of course, will let me plant more!
Welcome Morrigan...hope you can make it... this is the best people in the planet!!!!
Kassia: I have to agree, this is an amazing group of people! I can't wait to meet you guys. :-))) I am so glad I stumbled across DG! Where else would I be able to meet people to learn from, share jokes with, and garden with, even if it is virtual!
Candyce,
Sounds like a great time and I would love to come. NH is my old stomping ground.
It would be nice to see a wish list if people are looking for particular plants.
Cyndie
Morrigan - Here is a link to where I posted on the pets forum about the "new" cat at my house. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/874428/
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Cat. Had a lot of that myself lately and it seems to keep going. I hope you find a great home for Sam.
Hooray, Cyndie. I'll add you to the list. And, upon your suggestion, I will begin a 'Plant List' via d-mail blast.
AYC ~ you are a very special person, and Sam is very lucky!
Hey all ...
Sorry I've been incommunicado, but an old house, old phone lines, and too much rain makes for sporatic use of the internet.
Are we all still on for the 11th of October? Shall we talk about it?
Sorry, but I probably can't come, Candyce, because it is the week before my DSS's 2nd wedding and this one is an even bigger production than his first. Everyone will be in a tizzy. I'm his favorite mother, too! ^_^
Candyce - The 11th is good for me.
Donna
I am still planning to go! :) the 11th is good for me!!!
Carrie:
What a glorious reason for NOT coming! I hope all goes well for the wedding, and we will be thinking of you ...
(I am his favorite mother, too, isn't that odd? He calls me just to talk a few times a week, more often than his father, absolutely more than his birth mother. Who'd have thought things would have turned out like this?)
I would believe it. I have a few 'kids', (actually some now grown-up Girl Scouts I used to lead) that still call me on a regular basis ~ and it's been over twenty years since I was their troop leader! And they call me 'mom'.
^_^
I'm still planning on coming!
Whoo Hoo!
I am still planning on coming - as long as you tell me where you live. ;-) LoL
I just realized that the date is leaf-peeper weekend. We were thinking about coming down, staying Sat. night somewhere, and doing a driving loop through our favorite old haunts in NH and Vt before we head home. The Monadnock region is great and I miss it sometimes.
I better get going on the reservations!
We are still planning on coming
John and Liza
I may be able to drop in - we usually do a NE trip for my bd around Oct 7th, which is a Tuesday, so it would be either w/e. so, if it fits in, I may at least stop in for a bit.
I just LOVE it when people drop in and stay for a visit! I'm getting excited about holding this RU here.
Won't be able to come - y'all have fun anyhow. You sure don't need me to tell you to do that. Judging by all the posts in the NE forum - it is a pretty fun bunch.
jan
Candyce, can't believe I missed seeing this thread until today. I'm soooo bummed that I can't come to the Oct. 11 RU at your home (we have houseguests already signed up for that weekend.) I'd LOVE to see your gardens and NE forum RUs are always great. Seeing the peeps and plants is so fun.
I'm still hoping I can come!!
Emily, you will be missed!
Oh, Bummer, Emily! I was hoping to see you again! It will be so much fun to see everyone and to enjoy Candyce's lovely gardens again! Debilu - I sooooo hope you can make it this time!!! Good planning on your part! LOL
Oh, oh, I would love to come! I was hoping I would find a round-up for this fall. I would like to bring my father and a friend or 2, if that would be okay. I have lots of plants for trading!
Karen
Debilu and Robindog were in my garden last night.
They talked about the October RU.
It's just too far.300 miles,I'll be recovering from foot surgery, maybe anothe RU some other time
I am bummed the spring RU at Kassias looked like so much fun.
I especially wanted to meet everyone.
And we want to meet you! I can not make this one either, so we will both have to wait until spring.
Have a blast every one who's going!
