I have regrets too, i.e., I can't come either. Drat.

Vlad, you can keep the bucket, as long as you put it to good use.

GardenGranma and KimKa, I have rooted cuttings for you (Vietnamese whatever-it-is and pineapple sage, respectively) -- should I try to mail them to you?

Other people I promised rooted cuttings to -- I've been having a terrible time getting cuttings to root this year, so I don't have the ones I promised anyway. I can try again for the spring swap, if there is a spring swap.

Professor Dirt, we will think fondly of you while we eat your birthday (cheese)cake :-( (which will also be Mr. Alfie's birthday (cheese)cake). Perhaps I will feed a slice to the outside worms as a special treat in your honor.

I'm a bit disorganized right now, so if there is anybody else who was expecting things from me, please e-mail me, and I'll see if we can figure something out, I hope.

G'Day!
Aww... See y'all at spring swap - if not at a garden dig before then! Should i mail y'all slices of the cocoa banana bread?

Alfie, I can mail you the aster and broomsedge when I get back, if you like - the weather is now cool enough.

KimKa (think it was you!), the hosta you wanted is still available, so if you want to keep a space for a big blue hosta, you can remind me to bring or send it with someone in the spring. Or, you can email me with a real address, and I can send it to you once it goes dormant in the next few weeks.
