WE disturb THIS BROADCAST TO BRING YOU THIS BREAKING NEWS : tntreemanandmeander1met in person ! Yup , two of our favorite contributors and commenters , Jeff CaltonandMichaele Anderson , both live in Tennessee , and decide they needed to do some plant swapping and garden touring together . So last weekend Michaele drive to Jeff with her husband Darwin ( coolest name ever … . ) . I begged for pic , and here they are !

Jeff says,“I took Mike and Darwin to a few customer ’ homes but the good I were off limit point as the homeowners were travel and I did n’t want to arrange off the alarm and be surrounded by police ! We had a great dawn chaffer around Ithiel Town , then a warm dejeuner at 5 bozo , and then to my sign . She left with a railcar load of plants and I had a nifty Clarence Day and one of her bird mansions . Wish you could have join us . ”

Michaele says,“Thanks to GPOD , Jeff , my married man , and I had a great visit in Jeff ’s neck of the woods . We find some great gardens that belong to his clients and then his personal area , which is a delight . He is NOT the cobbler whose shaver have no shoes . Even though his professing is landscape , it is obviously also his personal passion and he has many wonderful works that are situated dead . He has a first-rate appeal of interesting succulent and cacti and intriguing bonsai combinations . Darwin and I really enjoyed ourselves . Jeff , in soul , is just as you would reckon … very engaging , interesting , and fun . ”

Yay ! I finger like a garden matchmaker ! I ’m so glad you guys had fun . Next time I ’m coming , too !
