Pot Luck and Container Garden/Cut Flower Competition, a big success!

We had a lot of fun at the Seume's family cabin for the annual Pot Luck and Container Garden/Cut Flowers Competition event. Thank you to Linnea, Rick and Shirley for hosting this event. If you weren't there, you were missed. Put this on your calendar for next year!! We had a great time and, as usual, lots of great food.


Yum, fabulous food. Send in those recipes and see them posted on this blog!


Great conversation. So nice to be at the lake!

We had an uninvited guest, besides the neighbor's dog, this fantastic, huge mushroom. Mary, what kind was it again??

A little bit of business was discussed amid the fun.

• Next month is our garlic presentation meeting.
• We will also be having a plant swap.
• And we will nominate officers for 2011.

More on next month's meeting later.

See you in September!!

FYI: The Duluth garden tour was canceled for lack of participants.
