Hi everyone- I am finally here. Missed this in January, and have not been on the website much this winter.
But, now it is spring. I just went out and bought some plants, feeling more like gardening now the snow is almost gone... I would really enjoy a get together, but don't have much at all this year for trading, compared to previous years.
Still, I have a few things, and much of what I like about the Plant Swaps is just chatting, and especially geeking out in someone else's garden.
My garden is particularly un-showy this year, but if no-one else wants to host I will volunteer. I live in Lake Stevens, near Everett. We could also just meet somewhere in a park with shelters, in case of rain.
Shirley, I also do cuttings. In fact a cutting swap later in the year might be lots of fun. Mostly I do my cuttings the easiest way I know- I collect them in autumn, put them in a pot, put a ziplock over it, and put that in a cold frame under a cedar tree. In spring there are roots. I keep intending to do spring or summer cuttings, but usually am too busy weeding and planting so it somehow does not happen.
I will alert my sister Ali about this, maybe she would want to host, but she does live on Camano Island so it's a bit of a trek for those in Seattle.
