Of course!!

Waiting for Kevin's answer.

It's Kevin's worksheet questions that make me speechless...I worry that I won't be good enough listener while Kevin talks...

CDsSister said:Sitting on the porch provides a wonderful chance to talk one on one with some of the group as they come and go into the house. Everyone stops for a minute or two to chat .. Which makes the porch sitter feel very much a part of the festivities.

Or even take a chair and sit in the middle of the beds and enjoy a different view...... Not a bad way to check out the beds. Better than not being there at all.

You're absolutely right, Marilyn and if I remember correctly, at the last clinic, you did both in addition to also meandering around the beds; I can prove it:

Oh what wonderful memories I have of those 3 days. Can't wait to make more memories.

Me too!!

We did have a good time. Even if I froze almost to death. I loved it. Such good people and good times.

I do not like that picture... It shows all my lumps and bumps

And the wonderful ambiance at Lynn's was augmented by live music! What else could one ask for!

Speaking of beds - Kevin has a great location for an outdoor sleepover Oh wait - April showers wouldn't make that much fun

But remember you also have to pack a breakfast to have in bed.

You mean Kevin isn't going to serve us ?!

He gave a list of breakfast places, but if everyone wanted to start an hour earlier, he said BYOB (bag breakfast that is)

Marilyn, I just realized: you weren't meandering, you were frozen?
I'm looking forward to seeing you again...I hope you will be there, thermal underwear and all.

Oops, maybe shouldn't have mentioned what kind of thermals? I meant thermal socks...Marilyn!

When I'm down for the clinic I would like to go to the place where you Oregonians get the sandy loam. I'm bring at large container. Patty?

Good idea Julia!! Funny how it went from plants to soil (that you're bringing home!)

Boy, you guys have been CHATTY tonight while I was playing in the symphony. My ears should have been burning!

I do have two spare bedrooms and a couch that makes into a bed but slumber parties aren't my thing!

Bev, am already working on the work sheet for the clinic! There are lots of opportunities for study as there are so many interesting seedling groups to evaluate plus ~150 selected seedlings from the last two years that might get named. The mind boggles with the sorts of questions/problems that can be assigned. Actually I find this is the ONLY way to really learn this process is by doing it yourself. Otherwise it is really just WORDS.

Kevin

The sandy loam is about 4 minutes from my house. I was there today picking up more chicken grit.

Kevin, you would never even know we were there, if you put ear plugs in, and those black eye cover things.
