I'm really looking forward to it! It was such a pleasure to see Michael Pollan speak at University of Wisconsin last month!

Me too. Even though I've seen the "Seedy Side of Plants" and "First Flower" and feel like I know where this one is going because of those two, I'm still looking forward to it.

My VCR is all programmed for this (yes, I still use a VCR!). :)

We should start a club. I still use the VCR built into my old television to record. :0)

Regarding my shrubs, well, there's even more than I mentioned in that entry. I have about 15 (+ or -) evergreen shrubs, two Lil Miss Kim lilacs, another pieris, another burning bush, a sweetspire, something like a sweetspire that blooms in pink whose name I always forget, two forsythias, a rhodie, 2 witch hazels, a mock orange, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something... wow, that's pretty amazing even to me! (Many are small still, though.)
