yes!! sale starts at 9 and goes until 1, then lunch at Chef Lin (with my family plus hopefully my brother's family joining!)

You'll like the iris society folks... they'll probably talk you into joining. Smiling They'll give you extra rhizomes...

If you don't see something on the list -- or in bold -- that you want, let me know!! ADR doesn't easily adjust to add-ons because of the way we do inventory, and we have to have $200+ for a new order...

I'm going to finalize at 3 pm. I'm figuring I have everybody's input by now.

sorry, missed it - but we're getting that one!

BUSY FOR THE next couple of hours, so will finalize this evening... you now have until at least 6 pm for last minute changes

I'm adding Decoy, Shike, and Mary B. daffodils... 50 of each are available... I'll take the extras if nobody else wants them (will give them away), but I'm adding them to the order. Smiling

Dutch Plant Farm, on Baughman Lane. On 40, there's a strip mall with a JoAnn Fabric on the left end... turn at that corner, go past the entrance in front of JoAnn's, and you'll see the entrance to the nursery on the left.... (there's also a restaurant named Dutch's Daughter)

Sale starts at 9, AFAIK... Aspenhill (Terri) and I will probably be there around 9:30 or so.

Sale ends at 1, so figure we'll be at Chef Lin by 1:15. We could leave earlier for the restaurant (I'm not working the sale or anything), but DPF is fun to check out also, and there's a farmer's market across the street on Saturday morning... plus if we go after 1 we'll maybe miss the lunch rush.

Chantell wanted some 'Mary Bohannon' daffs -- boldly colored yellow daff with a big frilly orange cup

Is anybody else interested? I was thinking I could take some, but it's just not growing on me...

I am, however, adding 3 Grant Mitch hybrids with pink centers, Decoy and Cool Flame and Shrike, all fragrant mid-late blooming daffs. I think they'll all go together nicely. I can make up to 50 available of each of those. It's fun to have a patch of non-traditionally colored daffodils. Smiling

Terri, you said "full boxes" of the tulips -- I'm assuming boxes of 50, LMK if you meant 100 of each

Good. that's what you got! I might slide 3-5 of your hyacinths over to my column.

I'll get the top post updated with numbers available... these aren't numbers that *must* be sold, especially since I'm the one who added several daffs without pre-selling "enough" of them. I have a couple of friends who wanted daffs, so I'll be checking with them too.

Lisa, I ordered a box of 50 Rembrandt mix tulips... did you still want those? Are you willing to slide any to Chantell? If you want all of them, that's just fine, her sister won't miss what she doesn't know she might have had LOL.

Good! You two let me know how many Rembrandts for each of you. I planted them a couple years ago and really enjoyed their bright splashes of color!

I was wondering if I should put the available daffodils on my trade list (with prices in the description) or if that would cause confusion... ?

Jill - I think that's a great idea. Others have done likewise on the haves/wants thread in past.

I've done it on the have/wants thread in the past, too, and it would be easier to just track everything on the tool. I guess if it causes issues I can move the items to my haves post.

I actually see this as one instance where the dibs part of the tool can help "spread the love around." If I list however many offerings of 5 bulbs, the first person to post can't snag them all... if nobody else is interested, they'll be able to get as many as are available. I never know what is suddenly going to trip everybody's trigger and cause me to back up and say, ok, everybody interested gets 5 bulbs and we'll order more next year... with dibs, I won't leave anybody thinking, oh, no fair, I asked first and wanted 25!

I'm sorry, that's what I meant was that it was a good idea....that there shouldn't be any issue with it given folks have listed items for sale in threads...
