Thanks Marylyn, we'll look forward to hearing from her.
Cheryl, don't take on more than you can handle. I would gladly host a round-up here, but Austin has become such a weekend destination that there's no place to congregate anymore without planning way in advance.
The first round up I went to was in Houston. It was at Randy's. Rained like it would never end on the way there. DH and I took the truck filled with plants and (mosquito fish for Randy's pond). Skies cleared, beautiful day. Randy was a great host. We were at least 30 people wandering in and out of his house. I knew none of them, other than on DG, before the swap.
After the swap, we had sooo much good food, then a group went to Penzey's to buy spices (which I had only been able to order on line before), others to a nursery. Headed back to Randy's to make a stop at Zone 9 Tropicals. Most had already left for there, and as DH and I walked out to our truck, this guy drove up and asked if we were going to the Zone 9 nursery. We said yes and he said to jump in the truck, he was going there too. He turned out to be the owner of Zone 9! I was in Heaven when we got there....DH, not so much. I liked it a lot!
That night was an after swap party at Randy's. Luckily, we had checked in to a motel that morning. Got back to Austin with a truckload of plants and lots of memories.
