The cherries might take a couple of years before they really get started :) I was so happy to find out Gardenworks has 'local-grown' grafts coming in, that I didn' ask about age or price! The apples are just whips right now - that I'll have to cut back after transplant. I'm thinking about adding Bartlett and Anjou pear, and a couple of crabapples to make a cordon against my chainlink garden fence. Maybe a Transparent?????
Van Dusen is the plan - though goodness knows I don't need anything else!! I can't help myself. I'm glad I'm not a clothes/shoes/entertainment/eating out type girl, 'cause I seem to be justifying a lot of garden expenses right now. Did I mention the yellow cedar boards I have sitting in my workshop? I should send you a list of my seeds so that you can note things you would be interested in, and I could bring you some tiny goodies when we touch base at Van Dusen? If you're not settled enough to start seeds, I can guarantee that I will overestimate my needs or plant extras in case of seed failure, and be happy to give a some seedlings into your care when you're ready.
I mentioned somewhere a while ago, that I could use your professional(read: manual labour hauling compost and prepping beds) help in the garden soon (also read: paid). I could swing about twenty bucks an hour, and would pay you in cash.... Didn't know if you missed the suggestion, or were uncomfortable with it.....

So, the 23rd, right?
