Electrachef Welcome! I bet you could get some great plants. Unfortunately I have no deer problem so don't really know what would work. The easy-care drought resistant stuff I definitely have! Pretty much everything in my yard has to survive without regular watering once established. It is about an hour from Bellingham (depending on where you live) .
Julia thanks so much for offering to host this year. It will be so much fun to see what you are growing now.
Ugh I work March 31, April 1, April 7 and April 8. I doubt I can switch these shifts. I am off Sunday March 25 and April 14 and 15. if it worked better for everyone else I could bring plants to Julia's an earlier day as she only lives about a mile from me! and my sister Alice would know what I would want. Mid April is seeming perhaps a bit late? Any day of the week is sometimes okay for me, I work crazy variable shifts. My sister Alice telecommutes M-F, is available any of those weekend days. She is on vacation right now, can't remember her login name for garden.org, we will have to wait til next week to directly involve her on the thread.
Two days ago I did a first for me, starting some tomato seeds under my new grow lights in the basement! I have a friend who wanted some tasty cherry tomatoes, so I picked two out from Territorial Seeds- "Sweet Million" the old standby, and "Orange Paruche" which won last years taste test. I started a few extra so will bring them if they all grow. I did a lot of Sweet Million but the Paruche they were stingy so I will only have a few. Will update if they work out.
