I can't believe jj was banned from the blossom cart, especialy after this cheery hello, and that lovely ode to figs and other earthy stuff. If you are looking for this it has been deleted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi ladies and gentlemen. I spend a lot of time here and as an advid outdoorsmen very valuable info here. I am a professional gardener in the Virginia area. My strenghts are re creating seeds and doing amazing things with them and having an unreal blossum display. The key is to mix certain seeds but as you are all aware must be from the same region of the country.

I will be having a social in the summer and all will be invited. Some of the posters attending are:


Stevo (the Arizona Flower Bell) I love his work

Sporto ( She is an advid crop grower and has an amazing display of flours at her home in Bridgeport.


ABB ( A sweet girl from the south I met through the board and we have exchanged so many seeds it is not even funny.

Minnow (From Seattle and the woman has to battle climates which hinders her seeds.

Bucky (Her real name is Becky and have actually met her at numerous garden socials.

Oddessa ( She is sooooo cute and owns a few florists in Battery Park.)



It sometimes is awkard being so involved in this field which mainly is dominated by women. Being a man it is hard to get breaks when I enter flower shows and I know I have great displays.

Although working with mostly women is so rewarding and I have met so many wonderful strong and talented woman on these forums and traveling across The USA.

I will have a floral display this Saturday at Phila Park (Pensy) if anyone is interested in in seeing my show and others from around the area. This one guy named Hollis Bull will be there and is pretty famous from The Trenton area. I would love to meet some of you.

Getting back to my party in the summer it will be great and I encourage all to come if free. I had one last year and had 48 peope attend. We had a real nice time and so many wonderful and talented people attended. We actually have The Major attending from Canada. I think you know him as Rusty Clipper. This is the guy that one so many floral awards last year in Toronto. He also is going to pick up the tab for the food and liquor. A real nice guy and well known also in San Francisco flower district.

We are going to have more of a southern type menu for food. I ma sure you all like grits, some of the other itmes will be Savory Southern Beef Stew prepared by Bostonian Gam, skillet corn by Altice, corn bread prepared by our own Actuary and finally the desert Shoofly pie baked by the sweetie MJulian.

All sorts of displays will be presented and we will have our very own flower show with three winners getting $400 gift certificates to Pinnacle.

Come with a partner or don't forget lads and gents there will be plenty of singles their aslo looking to meet. Hey you never know!!! I met my Big Boy Danny there and we have been happy every since.

I look forward to posting here and exchanging ideas and a signup sheet (thread) I will start to see if you might attend this summer.

Lets get planting!!!
