Can't wait to put some faces to these names.

Is there still room for 2 more? I may be able to make this. 

I'm on my way!  Holed up in a cheap motel 6 but only 4 hours from Flemington.  Tomorrow I pack up more orchids and supplies then go over to Bill's, dinner with friends.  Saturday load up and head to friends house and Sunday I head to fig gathering. So ready to do something fun this weekend.

Vito, I may not be able to bring pretzels this year as the meeting is on a Sunday and we will be leaving early, likely before the pretzel place opens but I will see if it is possible

I'm bringing some Celeste and Black Mission (don't have anything exotic yet to trade since I'm a newbie) trees in one gallon pots (about 2 ft tall) and some vegetable seedlings since I have too many and I hate to throw them out (heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers)

Ogo, pm sent

Anybody bringing raspberries?

I'm looking forward to have you all over. We will have around 30-35 people this year... 

ed: I have raspberries if you like. 

Tim, 
I sent you a pm.

See you folks tomorrow.

Mine will be the scary looking, stuffed to the gills mini van with plants hanging everywhere.  Really hope I can find a shady spot.

Debbie, got your PM, check your email.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Does anyone have gooseberry or currant plants/cuttings?

Take Plenty of Photos and share with us on Monday.

I had hoped to participate in the raffle .... just for the fun of it.  I mailed Bass a caprifig tree on Tuesday to go into the raffle just in case any of you dedicated folks were up for trying that.  Unfortunately, as is the case in a maybe 2% of the time, my package took a long way there by first going to SoCal and is now in no man's land.  Maybe if one of you folks gong there live nearby are interested in it, you can grab a rain check for it and pick it up later.

Many many thanks to Bass for hosting this fig gathering, and it was a great pleasure to meet all the folks and forum members at the gathering! Btw if anyone took away an "unknown white-Queens" 1-gal from the raffle I would love to hear the progress of my former cutting.

Best regards

Rafael
