Marlys, Glad you get to come after all!
Yes, Jimmy and Lois are going to be here as well!!

Aww LG!! You have been invited since Day 1. Too much to do.....not enough time.
That is everyone. I hope you make it out next year!

Now this is just great! Glad to see so many folks planning to come Saturday! :D Always Weeding, everyone is welcome. I'm making allotta meat, so it's covered. Jo, Emmy will be fine. I have the kid thing covered very well here. Heck, there's toys out in the gazebo right now from last weekend. Yep on ...

I have to say.....this has been a great discussion!! Think I'll read it again!

Great input Chris and JGH both!

Have a granola bar on the way!

Hi Everyone! It's great to see so many folks planning to come on the 18th!! :D I live at 410 1st. Ave. N. Oxford Junction, Iowa 52323. It's easier for some people to just use Mapquest or Streets and Trips to find a location. Otherwise, I live 10 miles North of Clarence, Iowa which is on Hwy. 30. If ...

Thanks for bumping this up, Linda!

I have talked to a couple people who are planning to attend.
I want to add, I do have a few lawn chairs, but bring one if you can.

Lisa, sorry you can't make it. Cool picture you posted though! :P Thanks for the compliment as well! I want to see a picture of that rock! Reldon, as always I will look forward to seeing you again! I haven't heard from anyone from Pella yet. But, it's a very busy time of year right now. I was worrie...

Glad to see a few quick replies! :D Linda, I feel your pain about having too much going on, but glad you are coming!! I am not attending the Midwest Regional this year because of a wedding, and now I have invites for 2 graduation parties and another wedding the same day! Looks like cards are going t...

Hi All!! :P As many of you know, I volunteered last summer to have the get together here at my place. We already decided on July 18th as the date. As always, we will have potluck, with me providing the meat (and I don't know just yet what it will be :lol: ) Also- a Hosta swap. Bring up to 3 named Ho...

Wonderful pictures, Beth!!

I was out in the rain yesterday looking around. I have eyes up all over the place. It won't be long now!

Very nice pictures! It seems to me that streaked "fortunei" Hostas are actually quite common. I have seen several streaked Francees, I have a streaked Twilight here, and I have also seen a streaked Antioch. Problem is, these type Hostas aren't really good for breeding purposes due to poor pod format...

I just posted to this on GW as well! I guessed it to be Wide Brim.

I don't have any pix yet.....still just eyes coming up here, and I'm not digging around out there to see how many of anything is coming up! Ginger, it's so ironic that you put this post back to the top today. I got home and had a small box on the porch here. I totally forgot I bought a 4-pak of maje...

Awesome photos, Beth!!

Thanks!

Thanks Linda! I'll contact Jim S. then. He has a couple up for auction at the HL. I usually just pick my stuff from him up personally and skip the shipping $$.

I look forward to hearing Josh speak at the festival this year!
Josh, you will do a fine job!!
Rox

JGH..... I had to laugh when I read what you posted...... "Mark knows most people don't read the introduction to books....." Heck, I have probably read the intro to the Hosta Handbook at least a dozen times!! :lol: Hey, it's good stuff! I coulda shoulda woulda ordered it already, but am confident it...

Good for you!

I saw the ad in the Sunday paper this morning that Kohl's had them.
I really want to buy one!

Karma, I echo Linda's sentiment. I'm not in the country here.....well, I am! But it is a town in the country, if you get my drift.....we don't even pull the keys from our vehicles here. I feel bad for you about the neighbors. We have had our share of doozies here as well, and the reason we got this ...

A co-worker of mine just bought one about a month ago, and she raves about it----enough so that I want one now!
