So this post is to gauge people's interest in having our second plant swap. Is it too early to start planning the next one? We were thinking quarterly, right? So judging by the upcoming auctions, the biggest break we'll have coming up is between BAS on Oct 27 and DAAS on Jan 19 (assuming that no one is actually going all the way to Burlington for the auction there). So that puts us at the end of November or beginning of December, right near the 3 month mark from the last swap...
I'm thinking December 1, and we should be able to have it earlier in the day now that tattooedfool doesn't work Sundays :icon_wink
It should be indoors because of the cold, and novitt has offered before to host it in his house, so hopefully he will reply here if that is still an option...
As this comes to fruition, I will edit this post to the event details format of the last one...
Really depends on the plant situation. I've got a bunch of projects going on and am hoping to have loads of plants soon. But I'll definetly make the next meet. I'm hoping for some good scores at the next auctions
Same here tattooed... maybe we can all (those of us going) chat about the next swap at the upcoming auctions and get a feel for what would work for people.
Opps, forgot to talk about it today, lol... but I mean I guess there isn't a whole lot to talk about if only like 3-4 of us were interested. I'm sure it wouldn't be worth the drive for you and 0live.
Right now I am starting a shrimp tank, but in another month or two I am looking at an excess of crypt wendtii and maybe lutea, wisteria, and maybe a nymphae sp. Lily.
well.. My browser killed my long and lovely response all about how much I love trading with you guys, even if it's for java moss.
I'll have a bunch of that rotala that tattooed bought at the cichlid auction.. (the pink rooted stuff) some blyza japonica, might have some hygrophila angustifolia and rotala macandra, and almost always I have alternanthera reineckii.
I've got some low grade cherries I'm looking to trade for other low grade cherries.. I need some genetic diversity in my colony.. (My colony has been known to throw blues and clears, so fair warning if you really don't want that much genetic diversity.)
So is this confirmation that people wanna do this December 1? I really enjoy it, too, 0live
Any ideas of places to meet if novitt doesn't speak up about having it at his place? We'd be more than happy to have it at our place, but don't think people would want to drive up to Worthington (east of Northampton, up in the hilltowns)... I can also start looking into bars and restaurants, see if there are any good spots that would allow us.
PVAS is planning a LFS trip early next year, and I think Uncle Ned's is one of the candidates. Either way, I'll let you all know where we're heading and you can meet us there
I'll go ahead and try to find a place in Northampton to meet near Yoyo's, and will set the date as December 1 if no one has any objections. Worst that I could see happening is a couple of us hang out for a bit, trade a few things, and 0live gets her mischlings...
0live, have you seen the shrimp tattooed got from my java moss? Natural colored Neos, don't know if you'd have any desire for a couple of them... not many left, though, as the gudgeons ate a lot of them lol.
0live needs her Yoyo fix, so it's gotta happen! Even if you two just show up, maybe we can just go out to eat or something to make it more worthwhile... Thinking a restaurant would be the best bet for an indoor place to have it anyway, although I still haven't found a good one :/ I'll try to make sure to get that done this weekend.
As for what I gots to trade, here is my list of plant species (some I may not have enough of to trade, just let me know if there's anything you're interested in and I'll see if I can spare any):
So there's a little coffee and tea shop like three doors down from Yoyo's called Sip that seems like a good place really close, but might not be enough room depending on if people are there.
And tonight I'll try to check out Northampton Brewery, which is just around the corner but I hear has couches and a lot more space...
Yeah I have a shrimp problem. I might hold off on getting some more shrimp.. I need to cut back my spending.
I just spent $$ on shrimp that were delayed in the post and arrived dead. So I'm SOL on a refund.. Keeping my spending down right now is probably not a bad idea.
K well I guess it's a bust if it'd be just tattooed and I...
