I will be there. I will also try to get my sister to come, she just moved to Camano Island. She is an avid gardener but of course would have little to trade (houseplant cuttings?) but I will have plenty. She is not on ATP, but is on the "other" website as "momlady". She is in a new development, no cable yet!
I will bring some sort of easy potluck thing that does not require an oven, maybe a meal-type salad on ice.
I am still open to a bit of carpooling, but probably no more than one, as the car could get too full! I have a station wagon so lots of room in there.
I am just starting to think about what to bring.
I will plan an afternoon out in the garden dividing things.
I will make some houseplant cuttings.
I thought this might be a good way to find a home for various houseplants that do not fit my current decorating concept, or underperformed.
Would anyone want a big orchid? I have had it maybe 7 years, but do not seem to have saved the tag. It was beautiful, with warm Yellow? orange? flowers. It only bloomed the first year I had it. It is completely easy care, never gets a bug or any kind of disease. I have it in a 12" plastic pot, and the leaves get 2 feet tall, and look just like a grass. I sometimes forget to water it, but it does not die. It has always been in the same place, lots of light near a south window, in a bathroom that stays quite warm, and gets hot in summer. It looks kind of ratty, but I think could be a showpiece for a better caretaker! Without a bloom there is no way to identify it or know how to better care for it, unfortunately.
