Cool! I'll add you and send a project social group invitation. We'll be using the group to discuss the project so please accept the invitation ASAP.

Thanks

Thirty-three days until chat session. Will plant suggestions from members be posted prior to the chat? I assume if they will be it will happen in the social group ?? Any idea on a format you would like to see ???
As you can see, excited about first project !!

33 days!

If anybody has started putting together a list, you can start a new thread in the Social Groups forum...maybe with a title like "Possibilities" or something like that.

Remember, they have to be available in the U.S., Canada and in Europe

I'm trying to approach the project in a different way this time around...so many times, we do all the research and then I have a hard time finding a vendor in the U.S. with enough inventory to supply all of us (so far there are 41 U.S. members in this one!

) so yesterday, I tried calling Andy's but Harry was off for the weekend and Andy was unable to talk because he had some big dental work done on Friday. Instead, I sent them an email asking for which plants they have or will have in mid-April that would fit our criteria and there's enough stock. Once I get a listing back form them, I will search for those plants in Canada and in Europe.

That's not to say we won't look elsewhere too but Andy's has helped us out in the past with our project plants and doing it this way may help us avoid a lot of extra work...which works well for me

That sounds like an A-1 plan to me, Sue! Andy's has been so great to work with us on past projects.

Sounds like a good idea Sue. Another way to save a lot of work is to search for plants at the canadian vendors first since canada is always the most problematic every time. That way, what ever we find available in Canada has a good chance of also being available in the USA and EU. That's what I've been doing to come up with my list of possible project plants so far. I also have an super huge list of potential TCs as well....
