As with Deb, I'm reading the listings and learning all of the time. I
contacted the gentleman in Germany and some others about Siberians. I'm
almost afraid to look at any more catalogues or I'll go bankrupt (smile) I
want just about everything that I see. I can hardly wait until the Sirob
Convention and I'm luck its in my hometown...Looking forward to meeting
people and joining up with Sirob in the future...that's if I can stop
looking at plant and seed catalogues.
May your gardens be blessed always,
Joyce
