A Northwest meetup would be fun. I've really enjoyed seeing all the homestead crowd set up here on Steemit recently. There are some lists of homestead folks circulating through the blog feed, with 77 people now. And there's another for gardeners. It's really helping the new folks know that there are people here who are interested in the same thing. That's how Steemit grows -- one community at a time! I'll definitely check out their blogs! Looking forward to your flower pics! :D
