    Karen, I edited your post to exclude your phone number. Just a word of caution, I wouldn’t post your number on the internet, but feel free to post an email addy (preferably a yahoo or gmail) just to be safe.
    A book club could be fun! I don’t know if I’d have time, but I’m open to possibilities. There is someone in Aylmer who is trying to start a garden club as well, she has a little blurb in the Aylmer Bulletin http://www.bulletinaylmer.com/calendrier.html, if anyone is interested.

    Margaret, I have no idea what goes on around Ste Eustache, but I would imagine there would be drop in community centers, that may host playgroups.

    I am also new to Aylmer, Quebec and would be interested in the garden club. I am just starting to put together my garden.

    Hi there,

    I came across your blog and it piqued my interest firstly because you’re in Aylmer (I am, too) and secondly because you have children. I’m a university student studying Elementary Education and I’m looking for occasional babysitting jobs in Aylmer over the summer months. I realize this is a bit of an odd way to go about it, but I figured I might as well give it a try. I have plenty of babysitting experience (I’m also working in a daycare this summer) and I can definitely provide references.
    If you’re at all interested in discussing further, feel free to send me an email: acunningham07@ubishops.ca.

    Thanks!
    Amy

    Hi Sam, Just stumble on your blog. very nice photos you posted on flickers. Just seen your getting back from camping. To bad about the rain.
    We had so much rain this year too. 43 days of rain since summer started. I don’t know if you remember me, I picked up some brugs last fall at your place. I’m from Grand-Falls NB. Wanted to let you know they are all in buds right now.The white one has opened up in July. Very beautiful flowers. Thanks a bunch, your generosity was very appreciated. Did you say, you had a versi peach among them? I mixed up the tag to them. White must be the candida?
    And remember a frosty pink. Seen it in the photos you posted.
    I think I lost the Orange one, not sure. Anyway glad to have met up with you here.
    Bernadette

    Hi Bernadette!
    Of course I remember you! Not to many people come that far to pick up brugs. The white one is a noid, the Peach you have is probably the Candida, and yes, there was Frosty Pink.
    It has been an incredibly rainy summer, but the brugs are enjoying it.
    Glad to hear you’ve seen blooms! They are amazing, aren’t they!
    I’m sure I’ll have more cuttings in the fall, if you’re interested. Then I can definitely send you a V Peach.
    Sam.

    Thanks for the info. I love the flowers, One is just about to open fully, maybe in the morning it will be, and I’ll know what color it is. I’m afraid the one I planted in the ground will not have time to flower. It’s huge. I’m going to cut it to the ground and use a bubbler to root it over winter. Some have asked me for cuttings, I’ll have plenty of that one, and some from the big pots to share. The white stayed small, I think my pot wasn’t big enough, and it didn’t produce much leaves, but it was the first to put out blooms. Had problem with spider mites, only notice late, and the leaves have turn yellowish on those in pots. Live and learn. I thought it was to much rain! I sure didn’t have problems getting them watered though. :) Have you heard about Brugmansia Quebec.com? They sell some, at a good price. I got a Charles Grimaldi cutting from them, and Iochroma, which is in the same family as brugs.
    I plan on getting a nice deep orange one and doubles brugs, next year.
    I’d love a vpeach for sure, thanks. Let me know when it’s ready and I’ll send postage for it.

    I just stumbled upon your site and found it very interesting.

    We are a local seed farm selling heirloom varieties (about 600) including some 350 certified organic.

    We are called Eternal Seed or Ferme Notre Heritage and are located in Farrellton about 10 minutes north of Wakefield.

    I would be thrilled if you would provide a link to my website where you may shop on-line or download a catalog as a printable pdf.

    http://www.eternalseed.ca

    I can be found every Saturday at the Ottawa Organic Farmers Market (see http://www.OOFMarket.ca) and will be at the Ottawa Seedy Saturday (see http://www.seeds.ca)

    If you have Aylmer events, I would be pleased to attend and offer seed saving courses through Canadian Organic Growers

    Many thanks & have a great season.

    Love the site. I am a retired civil servant who is interested in java programming and dynamic web pages (via Java Server Pages, Apache-Tomcat etc). I would love to get in touch with other retired people in Aylmer that share similar computer interests, or even in those that might need some web site help (with Java, Apache-Tomcat or Ubuntu).

    People can come to my web site between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM (it runs off a computer in my basement; more info on my web site) and leave a message.

    Love your site.
