I was expecting a small gift bag, and was astonished when we received a large canvas bag instead! I didn't win any of the extra prizes, but I was thrilled to have the seeds, the books, and my very own pair of new Ethel gloves. I talked to Jane Smith before the dinner began and learned of her book; little did I know we would all be receiving our own copy!<br /><br />I agree the weekend was too short to talk to everyone as much as we would have liked; maybe we'll have more time in Buffalo:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-13757060941905119232009-06-07T05:16:51.196-04:002009-06-07T05:16:51.196-04:00Kylee, great post.

I would have loved to be there to meet all of you. I subscribe to a lot of these blogs and they are my heroes and my inspiration. My garden is on a small farm just north of Charleston, West Virginia. I've lived and gardened here for the last 1 1/2 yrs. My yard had no gardens when I started and the ground is fill dirt from when they built a local highway. Therefore it is very rocky and not very nurturing to plants. But with amendments it has turned into a pretty good producer. My favorite flower has always been the sunflower, all varieties. Fortunatly it grows easily in all kinds of soil and without much care. I grow as many flowers as I can make room for and cram in as many vegatables as I can. I look forward to reading your future blogs.

I went over to Shawna's website in 'mid-read' of your blog and was tickled to see she had listed all who attended...then I finish reading yours and see that you too have included a listing. I look forward to checking out some of the blogs that I am not familiar with yet. I had no idea that there were some 'sponsors' of the event --what a nice added benefit!Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-45660694434136730922009-06-06T08:30:15.771-04:002009-06-06T08:30:15.771-04:00My dear, I was so very delighted to meet you, too....My dear, I was so very delighted to meet you, too...and your sweet mother....thank you for your very kind words!

Only 1 or 2 splats per flower.
