Hi, I'm Angie, and Arlene just pointed me to this cubit. Good to meet some other midwesterners! I'm in central Illinois, and I enjoy both vegetable and flower gardening. It seems I develop a new obsession every few years. There was the year of the iris, the year(s) of the daylilies, the year of the lily, the year of wintersowing (to my DH's great dismay), the unfortunate year of the tulips (how heartbroken when they never came back!), the years of the hydrangeas (still kind of lingering in this obsession), the year of the non-bell peppers, and definitely several years of heirloom tomatoes!
Glad to hear there will still be the annual get-togethers. I attended a couple back when they were Round-Ups, and am glad to see so many familiar faces still involved. Boone sounds like a grand place to hold it, and I am thrilled at the opportunity to go see Reiman Gardens again. It is so impressive!
