It would be interesting to grow them in close proximity to each other.

I just updated the activities for May 2nd, 3rd and 4th of May. Look at the first post of this thread to see the changes. Please let me know if I don't have you signed up so I can add your name.
It will definitely be three days filled with adventure.
The thread "Nursery Itinerary for May 2nd, 3rd and 4th of 2014" in Sempervivum forum

Yay, thanks Lynn for updating the May 3rd weekend schedule so that we can again get excited because it looks even more jam packed. Bring your stomach, your money, your shopping bags, your smelling salts, your wish lists, your orthopedic shoes, your sun hat, and whatever it takes to help you make it thru this potential inspiring, exhilarating and stimulating (that's your cue, Kevin @JungleShadows), mind boggling and rousing weekend!

Yes to all the above in Bev's post.

@JungleShadows Kevin, have you found out what the menu will be yet?

Looks good to me.

Does that mean we can sleep in Saturday morning? Bev, am sure I seldom leave home without most of that ... with some Advil added too. You sure make me wish I were 20 years younger... hope I am able to keep up with you young whipper snappers

Plenty of places to sit down Marilyn.
I particularly like the orthopedic shoes suggestion.

So exciting!!!! Thanks Lynn!!! Will be fun to meet Bev and Marilyn this time.

They aren't handing out new feet when we hit 70, right, Lynn?
That's why we have to take care of what we got cause there won't be new parts available...

Marilyn, you can't be that "mature"... Are you CD's older sister or younger sister? If you are the younger sister then I don't think you will need too much sleep on Saturday morning... We could go early with you to Kevin's and have him make us coffee...

Bev ~ so glad the seeds were viable! I hope you get some interesting plants. Re the Engle's... That is all mine said but it very well could be the one Kevin said. I'll try to remember to take a pic if mine tomorrow since my weather is like Kevin's. Looking forward to meeting everyone! No plant sales for me tho. I just read a book on simplifying your garden so you have less work and more time to enjoy. The statement "you don't HAVE to have every new plant you see" is my new mantra. For now anyway. Of course, I did place 2 iris orders after I read the book, but that's different!

I'm 9, so I think Marilyn is 10?

Oh, I think Kevin will be way to busy Saturday morning getting things ready for arrival of the sempaholics to be making coffee in the morning for all of us.

But you could come here for coffee Sat. morning.

I can't even get myself to repeat those words.

Don't know if it's normal but some of the older seedlings (older just because they germinated first) show a little fuzz on the rim of their leaves... Could they be heading towards being fuzzy?
I'm seeing that one jug has over 50 seedlings...a little more than I counted on. Oh well, we shall see how many survive at the hands of moi...

Oh how cute! you're only 9...then, better not set the alarm on Saturday too early for Marilyn...thanks for the invite to wake up Marilyn for coffee ...

I am cranky when I don't get enough sleep ..... and until I have at least two cups of coffee.

I am older than Lynn and younger than CD. ... but I have the physical constitution of a really feeble 90 year old.

And I have a really mean cane!!!!

Just warning y'all.

Ok, hearing you twice the first time, loud and clear ...Lynn, serve my coffee to Marilyn so she'll be good at Kevin's...and hide that cane!

I promise to feed her very strong coffee as soon as she wakes up. We can sit quietly out by the beds with wonderful hot, steaming coffee. Maybe even a fire in the Fire Flower.

Lynne ~ since the schedule changed I will be there on Friday but not on Sunday, when I will be home repeating the new mantra.

@Patty ~ can't you repeat your mantra while walking leisurely thru the Plant Fair?
I will be repeating my mantra: "Do not let hubby buy any P's and U's (what I call plants that are Primitive and Ugly) while walking leisurely thru the Plant Fair...

Marilyn - I'm looking forward to sitting next to you and watching the other whipper snappers doing their thing

The fair does sound dangerous!!

valleylynn said:I'm 9, so I think Marilyn is 10?

Well then, if I was 8, then Greg would have to be 7! and so he would be the whipppest of the snappers!!! So Marilyn, you would have to try and avoid him...
