Next meeting Not Decided




Nobody had any ideas for July, so I don't know if we are meeting or not. We can always meet here, the gardens are pretty--but there wasn't much interest in that last year--people are busy with other things and on vacay and stuff, so I'm not sure what to do. If anyone has ideas, let's hear them. I want to head to Wavecrest sometime soon, so we can have a PIE day if anyone else wants to go along. Other than that I don't have any ideas. Let me know if anybody gets a brainwave.

Ahhhhhhh--Spring Bulbs

Okay guys--make sure you know where your bulb augers are. If we all band together we can get some serious bulbs for our gardens. Last night Bobbi had her copy of the John Scheepers and Van Engelen catalogs; otherwise known as the "drool books". You can request your own catalogs by going to :
http://www.johnscheepers.com/
or call 860-567-0838.
If there are some bulbs that several people want; and we can come up with enough quantity, we can place one order with either entity for all of us, and get a bunch of bulbs for a very good price. The quality of bulbs these places ship is extremely high--so its a very good value, and with a single shipping address, the cost of that should be cheaper too.
If you think this sounds like a good idea, email me to let me know you want to participate. Get yourself a copy of the catalog and we can hash out the particulars at the next meeting. This is something else I would like to develop as a benefit of being a club member--to expand and increase our buying power by purchasing larger orders as a group.
Think about it and let me know if you are interested.
Hail to the dirt!
