I am really looking forward to info on the when and where of this event.
I am tempted, that if there is no progress with Ryan hosting, then I may just have to supply the venue here in Beamsville.
Ryan?
Or maybe multiple venues on a certain day> to maximize on plant trades and exposure to each others gardens?

The meeting and plant swap went so well. Thank you Ryan for being such a great host.
And I think Ryans basjoos are the tallest!

Barb- Yes there were a couple of people snapping pics. Jim has posted some here: http://members3.boardhost.com/HardyPalm ... 97903.html

You can see my shoe in one of those shots.

Adam- Sorry I had to run off after Vineland, I was going to be late returning my friends car (and was!).

The treat for me: Trying Paw-Paw fruit! Delish!

It was nice meeting you guys. Hopefully this meet/swap will turn into an annual event.

Great shots, thanks for the photo link.
Didn't see your shoe, Paul

Paul, not a problem... glad we found you some Pawpaw fruit. I went back after work today to find another 5 fruits on the ground waiting for me. If you plan to use the seeds, dont let them dry out, or they are no good after 3 days. I kept some in water for three months (in the fridge) and then planted them and still got 75% germination.
It was a great meeting. Excellent meeting you guys. And yes I have a few pictures, soon.
Thanks to Ryan for hosting!
Thanks also to the other attendees... truly that was a great meeting. I got to convince my wife that there are truly other people out there as passionate about these plants as I am. Cheers! Looking forward to the next one.
