All sounds good.

Sure wish it was happening in a month rather than 4

Me too but, it would be raining and cold. Hoping for a warm sunny day like last year.

Very true Spring! and since it's later than last year that is a good possibility

Just in from the garden and things are looking good. So many new seedlings to judge plus I left the large group of 'Killer' seedlings from last year as there were so many pretty ones in that group.

One that I had marked with exceptionally wide leaves is looking great today. It's very dark. I find that many of the semps have muddy colors in the winter but this one is quite lovely.

Let's hope for another nice couple days. That time of year is usually GLORIOUS in Oregon. There should be lots of irises blooming by then too. I have a couple thousand of them....

Actually I so enjoyed this last year, just meeting you all was a thrill!

Kevin

Kevin I don't know you that well so can't say for sure but you seemed to be "gleaming"during the first workshop and it was fun to be around your excitement!

OK, I can make the nursery tours on Friday. I will probably just meet you all at the first nursery since they are all on the east side of the freeway. I'll do the clinic and dinner on Saturday; will miss the Perennial Obsessions visit though. Weren't we going to do Dancing Oaks on Sunday? It isn't on the list...

Alright Connie!

Connie, do you just want to meet here at my place and go in my car on Friday?

Yes, we will go to Dancing Oaks Sunday afternoon, I added it to the itinerary.

Please check on the list of activities Connie, and see if I have it correct.

It sounds as though Lynn will have you all whipped into a frenzy by the time they get to the clinic!

This year I'm going to turn the tables on the students and have them make some evaluations and even planning crosses.

The sun just popped out after a morning of drizzle. I'm out to look around.

Kevin

I won't see my babies until Christmas day. By the time I get home on week days it is dark outside.

Oh boy, didn't think things could be better than they were at the last clinic, but this one coming up in May looks like it will outdo the last one.

Flashlight...

And looking forward to the frenzy...

There certainly will be more seedlings, about 800 that were rowed out last spring plus another 150 that were saved out of the last patch (mostly 'Killer' kids) plus the selected seedlings from the previous two. Lots of fun things.

There are ~200 little baby seedlings up in the 'Helen Payne' x 'Polly Bishop' cross that have germinated in the pot in my kitchen window. Those could be very interesting! Almost can't wait for '15 so I can see them in their true colors. There should be ~6K new seedlings if the germination in the pots is typical. Won't that be fun???

The chartreuse one with pink tips is still holding its color in the seedling bed. Am very anxious to see what its spring colors will be.

Kevin

Chartreuse with pink sounds wonderful. Love to see a picture of that! Maybe the colors will intensify in the spring.

Treasures to be found.

Just wanted you all to know that when it's a ho-hum day over here ( yes, I get them here in my house and life...)
I just go back to the first page of this Nursery itinerary thread and read all the posts that are there from all the people who might be going or who has anything to say about the Oregon get-together in May and then I get... { Excited!! }

Afterwards, the ho-hum day continues...

Just keep going back to that post Bev, and get {Excited} all over again.
I'm with you, I can't wait to see all of us in one place. Hope Kevin can keep us in check.

There's always the nuns...
My knuckles are still recovering from when I was a little girl...

No nuns in my bringing up years. Knuckles are intact.
