Very fun seeing photos of some of my favorite garden bloggers, plus getting introduced to 3 Men Who Mow. I guess the advantage to travelling across an ocean to a garden show is - that's one show where you really CAN'T buy a lot of plants (when you already have lots that need to be put in. Or perhaps I project).Pomona Belvederehttp://www.tulipsinthewoods.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-2505178372647872112010-05-18T11:43:00.445-05:002010-05-18T11:43:00.445-05:00I love reading this and the posts to come.

The first photo is delicious as were the garden show photos. So fun to see some of the friends from across the pond getting together with our stateside friends. I wondered about Cheryl (wildlife sanctuary) ... did you get to meet her? <br /><br />This was a great preview... loved seeing you laughing and having so much snuggly fun in your warm woolies. Will be hanging on waiting for more... now I'm off to see what Frances has to report. :-)<br />MeemsMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-72272554478153603202010-05-17T21:10:09.887-05:002010-05-17T21:10:09.887-05:00Love the excitement with you & Frances.
