I thought I wrote this, but could not find it, maybe I wrote it but did not send it! I am NOT going to offer anything this time, because I am afraid I would also give the problematic Bermuda Grass and Hedge Bindweeds that are everywhere----I do not have anything new but I have plenty of Hellebores, different kinds of Hosta, large, medium, and small. I also have Chinese orchids that is a perennial. I had to take the stickies away from it, but lots of Bermuda Grass surrounding them. I weeded and thought I got all the Bermuda Grass, but they came back. I would like to have one thing, if someone has an overflow of Spearmint, I would like to have some. I bought one last Spring, and it died, looked again in HD, they did not have them any longer. I like to drink my tea with Spearmint, Moroccan style---delicious--with Chinese tea (I use Jasmin tea) + sugar---yummy!

Francine, I'm pretty sure I put spearmint (Kentucky Colonel) on my swap list. If you put anything at all on your list and add it to the swap, you'll be able to call dibs on stuff... You could put "Bermuda Grass," and I don't think you'd get any takers, but you'd get tickets.

Okay, I am NOT going to offer Bermuda Grass, but I can offer Lambs' Ear. They keep popping up, and they are so soft----should take pictures of it--I hope I did not take all of them out yet.

I've even suggested somebody could enter "a warm hug" or "a big smile" if they didn't have plants to share this year.

I have changed my mind. If anyone wants what is listed, before I pot it in a new potting soil or in case anyone wants the large hosta that I am going to take a picture of, I make sure there is no trace of Bermuda Grass nor Hedge Bindweed, and also the others that I have offered I will check they are clean. I also have a few saplings of the regular sort of lilac hibiscus that I get a lot from my neighbor, he said he wanted me to enjoy those flower---I pulled them and put them in a pot of nice potting soil. If no one wants them I will throw them out. So far they have perked up and still alive. I also bought Rau Ram (and put the stems in a pot of new soil and water, and strangely enough they perked up, so if anyone is interested, I can take them along. Shall I list them? I still do not received any 'Money' to purchase from the list-I would like to purchase 2 or 3 things that I see on the list---I have to re-read how to use it again-

Francine,
You won't get any tickets until you list something. Even if its "A Warm Hug", etc as Jill suggested.

I've got stilt grass in my yard, so there's a risk of getting seeds in things I bring, although the risk should be small with things dug and potted in potting mix or grown in containers. I think we all know the risk of pass-along weeds hitching a ride with pass-along plants. Heck, there's that risk even with nursery plants, unless they are bare root. I try to keep an eye on new plants so I can pull weeds around it, especially anything I haven't seen before.

I'll see if I can add anything to my list this week, with the swap delayed. Sure hope the rain goes away by then!
