Attention Gardeners! The weather is going to flat out suck tomorrow. I doubt I can change the date with the park service soooooo I will be there at the scheduled time but for those of you driving a great distance I would rather not be the reason you are on the road. I will try and get a new date in May, or maybe June just to be safe - maybe winter will be over by then!!! I will be at the shelter and I will bring some plants but I wasn't hoping to take anything home (famous last words) so if you want to come splash around in the puddles feel free to spend the afternoon in Garner.

Please, please, please Tanya, bring your famous chicken chili (White Dove, I think). It is awesome. I'm going a less sugar route than what Triangle John wants - seems that is covered already. I'm going to bring finger sandwiches - no I don't cut up people fingers - well, not too often anyway. I make my own bread so just slicing it long ways and short ways I can quickly make a bunch of sandwiches using my various delicious fillings - but you have to eat the crust too, which I think is the best part, she said humbly. I really enjoy potluck and I hope someone brings some homemade slaw and baked beans like last time. Why does everything you normally make at home taste so much better when someone else makes it? I hope everyone puts a sign on what it is and who made it because we like to bug them for the recipes. Also, we do have some vegan swappers, and some are allergic to things like fish and wheat, eggs and dairy. So, I'll also bring a couple sandwich loaves made gluten-free in any case. You all can be my guinea pigs since I've started making them for my DIL, poor thing, who is allergic to everything except tree bark and rocks. Just kidding, but almost. Nancy the nancedar

Kristi I will make room thanks! What else do you want? Sillybugs I do have the crinium and will bring you one as well as a couple crown of thorns cuttings. I will be bringing a few different hedychiums or butterfly gingers. Ladygreensleves I would like to trade for the amazon I have one but have a great spot for another. Don't need the tall porterweed but if you have the native small one I will take some.

Hello all, I am glad I looked. The date is set in my calendar. Lorabell: you gave me a plant that looked like a onion and had skinny and fleshee leaves coming out of it. Has that ever bloomed for you? Well, ... mine is blooming now. I had a BUNCH of stuff blooming in the greenhouse. Karen, you didn't tell me it is THAT awesome with a greenhouse!!! Cacti that have never bloomed before, stuff growing like crazy, Wow, super cool! (well, yes, I am excited for spring!) Vlad
