Mike King Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi guys, Just to confirm my open day at the earlier time of 10am. All the leucos are in full growth now we have had some sun! Likewise, alatas, rubras and minors are looking good too. As usual, food and light refreshments will be there on the day and the entrance to my open day will be via the Queen Elizabeth way entrance. Please feel free to bring plants with you to sell or swap. I myself will be dividing plants on request and there are plenty of plants left for sale on the bench. Please let me know if you can make it so we know how many to cater for. See you then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gekon Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I will try to make it there this time... I have to see :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The body snatcher pod Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Wow! I would like to see you and your plants again, but sadly I´m afraid I won´t have any time to visit you this time. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Utrici Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'll be there bright and early and looking forward to seeing the leuco's in all their glory (again). Anyone need a lift from North Somerset? Lots of room in the Freelander for plants as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Star Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Mike I am hoping to be there but the night before I am at the Nottingham Beer Festival so all depends on how disciplined I can be in not having too much to drink. Bearing in mind that there are more than 1000 beers and 200 ciders available I am not hopeful. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been to the Notts beer festival for years, but I remeber it being pretty good. You should come to the Derby festival, it's at a much more sensible time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel G Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi Mike. You can expect to see me there. Probably won't be buying much tho'. Not sure how much I'll have to pay for petrol. See you there :) Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Mike, I'll be there. I'll be bringing some plants for sale, to make room for those I'll be hopefully buying on the day! Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Salter Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Very regretably we can't make that day Mike, we have all children and no babysitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappist Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi Mike, Hope to attend for about an hour in the morning as I am working at lunchtime. I'm the guy who you chose the VFT for in Homebase and then I called in with Eira. Here's the VFT after two months growth - repotted once :~ http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?app=galleryℑ=5881 (sorry it's a link - haven't mastered the embedded photo thing yet!) All the best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike King Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 The weather forscast is quite reasonable and the leucos have put on good size, despite the very dim summer. Some of the alatas are over 100 cm tall at the moment. See you all there from 10am! Please also remember to Park in Queen Elizabeth way in the car parks next to the flats and not Field Close. The entrance will be via the large double gates at the rear of my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel G Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Mum's not feeling too good, so I may end up not being able to attend if she can't drive me. Here's to hoping :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hi Mike, sorry a bit late...IT issues again. Thanks for your hospitality yesterday and of course for my new plants. It was great to see all your fantastic plants, hope some of mine can be that good some day. It was also a pleasure to meet some of the other guys from the forum and put a few faces to names.

Mike King Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Great to se so many of you; some have come from long distances, eg Steve from Ashfpord, Ben from Norwich, Dave from Hartlepool and John from Redruth. Altogether 20 people or so came along. Good to see some new faces here and also 3 local growers too. See you next year. Anyone make any photos on the day?
