yohoooooo... can't wait to see you guys also... so cool....
RU in NH - October 11 2008
I am driving up by myself (so far) from Bridgeport, CT. Anyone want to share the ride? Also, I need directions and a phone number because I get lost really easily! I have painted lady runner beans to share. I will bring hummus and pitas.
YankeeCat, I would offer for you to ride with us, but we are staying in Keene for the weekend to see fall foliage. Sorry!
Karen
I think I will bring a raspberry apple crisp.
I will be bringing phlox, iris, & DLs along with deviled eggs. We are also staying in NH & ME until Wed. or Thurs.
That's OK - I have books on CD to keep me company. I will be bringing garlic cloves and tulip bulbs to share.
Getting close!
few more days....
I will bring a salad... and I need directions also!
Oh, hey, right! Directions! I'll be staying in Brattleboro for the weekend. So, I'll be nearby.
I checked the address with mapquest and it is accurate. So, plug in your addresses and see what you get. You should have no trouble finding Candyce's place. I used to live in that area. Should be pretty foliage. We are staying in Brattleboro Sat. night, too.
Can't wait to meet you all. Cyndie
where are the directions!???
I would send out another D-Mail Blast message, but a few people on that list are no longer attending the RU. So, those of you who need my address in order to MapQuest for directions, please send me a D-Mail, and I'll send out my address to you within the day. I'm only on the computer for a limited time, so don't panic if I don't get back to you right away.
I used the address exchange. Go to the home page, click the "extras" tab, click "address exchange", pick "C" then find "Candyce". Then you can use a map program online.
Ooooohhhh ....
you are so smart!!!
I think I mentioned it before that there would be a chance that we won't be using the grill. Well, now it's a positive fact. We won't be using the grill. So don't forget to bring your pot luck dish, everyone, OK?
As Louise can attest to, I have a HUGE dining room table that can handle it!
It looks like Saturday will be such a fun day!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since we will be getting there around 2ish, I'll bring a dessert of some kind and the red dahlia tubers to share. Can't wait to see everyone!!!
Louise
I found the old blast dmail with your addy, so I'm good.
Candyce, I haven't got anything particular in mind to bring for food...Is their anything you especially could use...I could make potato salad, meatballs, whatever you would like...If you would rather have desert that is fine too.
Please don't be afraid to ask...
Looking forward to meeting you..

Morning Glory sees I dont have a ton. I have a bizillion. I tracked some down into colors :-) Purple, blue, pink, light pink and white.

I started these Sunday. Only 1 has sprouted but at least I know they are alive. 1
1 - chicks and hens.
1 - Emerald 'N' Gold Euonymus - shrub.
Wizard Coleus seeds. Some pastel and I dont know the name of the other Wizard.
I have tons of drain trays if anyone wants some. They hold 3" pots. Cant remember how many. I am sure Seandor or Michela can chime in.
If I can round up any other seeds I will. They have gone to frost now. Other than that I dont have much to offer as I have just started flower beds this year. I would take seeds, plants, bulbs or tubers that are PERINNAL ! :-)
I will bring some kind of finger food or something. I cant wait. I feel at home Candyce. No I am at home ! NO - This is my HOME!
Schickenlady, I would love some Hollyhock seeds. I used to have a lot when I lived in the midwest.
I have some perennials I would be happy to share with you.
We have yet to have a frost here. What's up with that?
Cyndie
sshhh
Poison Ivy, dandelion, plantain, clover...
I gathered my clem. helios, canada lily, and thalictrum rochebrunianum seeds today. Here is the thalictrum. Mine is over 5'. I love that I can see the pines right through them like a dogwood in bloom. I hope a few of you want them. http://www.robsplants.com/plants/ThaliRoche.php
And here are the canada lilies. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/158465/
Sure wish I could be there.
booj, those thalictrum and canada lilies are beautiful.
Make sure you sing Happy Birthday real loud to those that are having birthdays around this time.

I have a birthday at the end of the month!! But I can't eat cake! Or ice cream. O well.
Boojum, I would love to have some Canada lilies and thalictrum.
Schickenlady, I would like some hollyhock seeds. I'm bringing lots of perennials, so you'll have your choice.
Can't wait!
Karen
Booj, I have the thalictrum, and love it too!
I would like some of the lily seeds, but I'm not going to have anything to bring to swap other than a smile, so only if there are some left after everyone gets what they want.
Love to swap for your smile!
You're too kind! I really can't wait just to meet everyone!
I bet those back roads will be beautiful!
I'm taking the week off work, so it will be a great week. See you there!
I want to go!!!
DD made it home earlier than she thought.....long story but she left on Friday and was in Maine by Sunday. Monday she was eating a meal in Mom's kitchen with a big grin! lol
Then they cancelled my class reunion this weekend!!!!! UGGGHHH!
So now I pout. lol
Booj - I'd love some thalictrum seeds if you have enough! They are so pretty!
Pixie - Grab DD and bring her down to the RU!!! It should be a really pretty drive for everyone.
