How about a Michigan Gardener's Map?

Well, I made one. LOL!

I put my location on it as #1 to get us started. If you'll send me your city and zip, I can put you all on the map. This would be so nice so we can each see how far away we are, or how close!

This thread is a great idea! Pj, I have been very close to your home many times in the last month. I have been to I B Compost on Filmore by 104th about 5 times. I would guess we are about 30 minutes apart.

well now you have to have coffee...and exchange plants and idea's ^_^

ask terry to make this a sticky thread

A cup of tea and plant exchange would be awesome. We could have a plant swap for 2...lol...I just don't have that collection of plants to swap. I did however "grow" 300 too many coleus from seed this year...hope my wife likes them :)

Deann,

We actually have several but I dont have the time. I would rather be working on the house :) I bought a pack of seeds fo a few bucks so, I plan on just giving them away to friends and family that colorful full shade plants. Great idea though!

Got everyone so far I think. PB, it's you, me and Ronna all alone on the west wdge of the "world" here! Lonely.............
And yes, I'll be down there very soon, and I'll let you know first.

And I'll bring at least one plant. I'm movin' and shakin' everything here, so there will be more than one!

Shade, right?

Ronna do you want to meet us somewhere?

my zip is 49080 (Plainwell), but i'm MUCH closer to 49083 (Richland)

How do I contact Terry?

Lincoln Park 48146...........

You might wanna ask Dori how to get in touch with Terry....

I went back to the beginning of trhis year and added all the newbies.
We now have 5 - maybe 6 West Michiganders! It's getting downright cozy.

Thats good...think there just Cindy & Paul around me...I live about 50 miles from Toledo..

Actually, 95 % of the space I have is full sun. Shade is just a little tougher to plant for me. I don't have much experience w/ full/part shade. Glad to see we have some people on our side of the state. Sounds like we need to do some recruiting...

Well when and where? What are we doing? Who are we meeting? We probably could talk 1Birdie us some where also. She LOVES coffee! We have meet a couple of times and have had a great time. Ronna

Thanks, Ronna.we do have fun don't we!!
