Hi! Thanks for offering all this!

If you still have daffodils,, zinnia seeds, or pepper seedlings, I'd be happy to take off your hands.

Thanks!
Annie

As you might know we have moved last year and now I have land but no garden yet. Although we tried to move at least part of the garden not sure if we succeeded.
I should be bringing few dozen of tomatoes, thanks to Mone who helped transplant them today.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Thanks for posting all of the tomatoes you are willing to share!

I'd love yellow pear, Roma's, sun gold, marvel stripe if available!

Thanks so much!
S_Evans said: Piggybacking on Ellen's mention of tomatoes - I am growing 8 varieties this year. It's too late to start more from seed but I can try to root some cuttings if anybody would like. I've indicated the two bush varieties, and I believe the rest are indeterminate varieties.

- Glacier (Bush)
- Roma (Bush)
- Isis Candy
- Rosella
- Sungold
- Sweetie
- Yellow Pear
- Marvel Stripe

And I still have some ground cherry seedlings that I'm hoping somebody will want!

Michael2R said: Hi All,
Sorry so late this year but it's been busy. Also, I won't be able to make it to the swap since both of my kids are graduating from college on that weekend!! So pick ups need to be set up in advance (or after if that works better).

My wish list:
Yellow Iris
French Tarragon
Dill

Here are some tomato seedlings I have to share:
5 Purple Bumblebee
4 Bronze Torch
2 Golden Jubilee
4 Compari
5 Sweet Aperitif
5 Heirloom Green Cherry (not sure of variety)
2 Heirloom Red Cherry (not sure of variety)
5 Nova
3 Hungarian Heart
2 Green Zebra
4 Indigo Cherry
2 Blush

Hello Gardners!

We got a puppy this year, and she destroyed my herb beds and strawberry container (baby bunnies nested in there and digging for them was irresistable). So, I cannot offer much in the way of plants, but I do have some compost and extra pots to share.

Wish list:
Inpatients,
geranium
Allium seeds
Tomatoes (all varieties but especially cherry, pear, grape)
Oregano,
basil,
mint
sage
Dill

Thanks!
Annie

Glad to meet you! Happy Gardening
Howdy, I'm in need of any tomatoes, I know I already asked for a few, now I need a few more ! I'm very proud to be bringing my Aunt, she is an avid gardener and we swap plants all the time. She's 100 and still can keep up with the best of us! One of the few remaining WWII women vets left in the world and she's very excited to come to our swap. Aunt Bette loves tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, please share any that might still be available! She'll be with my name post but you can write her name of anything for her. Thanks, see you all soon, PEACE OUT and Love

To SHARE:
forget me knots
plus my previous list and one, possibly twi
Red (grown indoors) Geraniums

It's a little early for most things out in the yard, so anyone interested in coming by in a week or two, just let me know and we'll have a swell time! I'm by Old Orchard mall just off of Golf Road. Plus I'm a co-chair of for one of the departments at Winnetka Rummage sale this Thursday and that's taking up all my "fun gardening time"
Thanks again for this opportunity

Late request, if possible:

Black Eyed Susan (the regular one) and 2 more cherry tomato plants: ideally heirloom or something that is a "non-mainsteam" cherry tomato.

Anyone have these?

Thanks!

Hi All,

Would anyone be interested in rabbit poop as cold compost for the garden? I have 8 pet rabbits who are constantly producing organic cold compost. It can go directly in the soil when planting. I will also be bringing some hostas and seedlings. Rolling my eyes.
