Count me in!!! Calendar marked :)
Can't commit yet. Don't know where we will be in the kitchen redo. Will be there if I can.
I am guessing we will pack a lunch and stay most of the day
Sounds great, mark me down as a definitely maybe.
A possibility. Sounds like the kids might enjoy.
I always enjoy a day there
I went on a Well Seep tour last year and it was well worth (pun not intended) making the trip in from Connecticut.
coming down for this one Memory?
I'm going to miss it this time. All of the plants I bought last time are doing well!
that's great to hear about the plants... so sorry you won't be able to make it though

is it June yet???
Onewish, Thank you so much. First day back since I posted the request.
your welcome... it's worth the trip if you are ever up here
getting closer!!!
I had forgotten all about it. I put it on my calendar and unless something unforseen happens I should be able to make it.
yeah!!!!
~~~getting closer every day~~~
I guess it looks like Jen, Weese and me
:)
I'm working on it!
hope you can make it!!... I know I can't wait
Is Michelle taking a pass on this one?
oh of course not..... and my neighbor Barbara might come too
Didn't Victor say he thought the boys might like it? There 's the new people near the Del. Water Gap and Milford, PA. What about Wind? She's near you, Jen, I think.
I wish I had wings......planes are to expensive (for 7 hrs.) and my butt would be numb for a week if I drove.
you are more than welcome to come stay here Pixie!
Don't tempt me Allison...I could use a mini vacation! I'm way behind on clean up this year....might be done by the 4th of July.
I'll d-mail Wind.
Do ya think the kids would like it?
Pixie... we will make room if you want... and I am not kidding... just be aware you might get smothered by two yorkies when you wake up... LOL
Jen if they are into that sort of thing... yes... lectures on how the plants grow what they were used for etc lots of chickens in a pen... dogs and cats all over.... I know my nephew would be bored out of his mind just because there are no video games.. depends on what your kids like
:)
Hello, Jen dmailed me and Onewish told me about it....now I just have to read the links about it and see if we can go too :) I'm interested in both butterfly gardening and herbs. I just added a few concrete butterfly stepping stones in front of our butterfly garden.
Onewish, are you going to Atlock Farm again this year? I spotted the name in the above link to your photos and I'm assuming you went.
yes yes yes... I already have it on my calender .... it's Sept 12th
Wind trust me you will really love both places!
Isn't Sept 12th a bit late to be buying coleus? For some reason I thought it was during the summer. I'm glad I've been picking up various coleus here and there that I've wanted then. I got my absolute favorite today, Wizard Coral Sunrise.
I'm still checking the date of the Well Sweep event to see if we can make it. I would like to go if at all possible.
yes.. but they are cheap and I overwinter them
:)
I'll try to be there. I haven't been to Well Sweep for a couple of years.
Nick

Plus, Jersey people love meeting Jersey people...And NY people, AK people, NM people, AZ people, MN people,...you know where I'm going with this...

Hello again,
Yes, I haven't posted for a while, but I have been checking the NE Forum! Been busy in the garden - taking potted and container plants outside, some planting and quite a bit of weeding after all the rain we had here.
Well Sweep is a really great herb farm set in a nice location in western NJ. I believe it has been family run for the last 40 years.
yes it is... a great place!!!
