Oh, what fun – that picture of your plants tucked into bed! I miss Twitter, but I have to take care since I have computer-caused RSI. No fun that…

Enjoy your plants.

So true your comments about Twitter. What a hilarious exchange. I loved reading it.

Such a fun post, Rebecca. I remember the original exchange; I loved it then, and do so even more now that you’ve recapped it here. You have also reminded me that I must have Pat’s Phormium ‘Black Adder’ next year, even if it is tender in N.H. Do you know there is a Black Plant Society? Let’s join together!

So happy that you shared this great sequence of fun Tweets, Rebecca. I was there the day all of this went on and I have to say it was a hoot!
Camera hasn’t left my side since!

Love this (though now I’m worried that all my plants will get jealous because I never take them on vacation). Love twitter. Who would have guessed that a vibrant gardeners’ community could grow and thrive in just 140 characters. My family is threatening a Twitter intervention.

OH MY! How did I miss that twiiter exhange with you guys? I must have been on vacation at the time. Thanks for posting it all here…I can’t stop laughing!

I’m going to show this to all my friends who think I am nuts to twitter. Well, maybe after reading this they will think we are ALL nuts! LOL

I agree – I have a hard time with Facebook, too. Definitely my least favorite (besides LinkedIn, that is…) I’m having iced tea now. And sitting in the sun.

My friends think I’m nuts for tweeting, too. I like blogging because it’s thoughtful and twitter because it’s fast and fun so they complement each other. Oddly, the social media I don’t get much out of is Facebook – the most popular one!

FYI, had a grilled chicken breast and sauteed spinach for lunch, in case you were wondering ; – )

I have such great memories of sitting on the deck at Tahoe, all by myself – just me and my iPhone, laughing like a fool….

I don’t know what it is with people and their nervousness over Twitter. I’m having a meeting with a woman tomorrow to show her how to set up a Twitter acct – yeah!! another convert! I agree with you, we’ve really created a great community of gardeners who talk about RELEVANT issues (as well as the funnier side of life)….

I was in tears from laughter when you started posting those pics on Twitter! Poor Pat, I wonder if he’ll ever give me plants again! He probably thinks us NorCal girls are a bit crazy! I still crack over his ‘breeding” comment to you!

I’m waaaaay on-board … bring on the gossip in the garden!
Had been reading along on this exchange, but until now had not fully appreciated the creativity & humor of the accompanying photo-essay.
What I’m hearing is this: “I don’t know what twitter is and I don’t want to!”
They’ll never experience the community we seem to have created online and in life!!!

I’m SO glad you like it! You never know, ya know?? I, too, am leery of all things touted as the ‘latest, greatest in social media’…but Twitter is different. It takes a certain amount of ‘creativity’ to get your point across in 140 characters without sounding boring, too… pretty cool!

BAHAHAhahaha!
You have KILLED me with funny! I have to admit to being VERY leery of twitter, and now I am SUCH a convert (as you know!) Not only have I ‘met’ some incredible gardeners and learned about new plants, I am continuously inspired by the spirit created on this online garden club we have!
This post is a wonderful example of what I’m talking about – learning about great new plants and laughing while doing it? What more can a Plant Fiend want?
