Just thought I should clarify that the empty pots I will bring are the common "gallon" nursery size, not sized 10-15 gallons EACH one! Jasmine, I will bring the pots for you, plus extras. And the bulbs for you and Luvtogarden, and Seedrat. With all this rain they will be so easy to pop out. The bulbs won't be potted. They are much easier to separate and re-plant in the spacing you need. They will be hunks of bulbs.

Pitimpinai, no worries about the monkshood: I saw on your earlier post that it has turned out to be something else.

Hi Sen,
So am I. I am looking forward to seeing all of you at the swap.

I think your plant 1 is Obedient Plant - Physostegia virginica, plant 2 is Double Buttercup - a Ranunculus, plant 3 might be Japanese Honeysuckle.

Sorry about monk's hood. I already corrected my list. It is actually Anemone canadensis, do not have monk's hood to bring to the swap. Want some? It is very pretty, leaves and all.

I will set aside wild ginger, lamb's ear and phlox.

See you all tomorrow.

Linnea, that purple geranium was in a couple of spots near the groundcover garden, with several planted together.

Linnea, I went through your wishlist again and saw that you asked for white Anemone. Guess what? The plant that I first thought was monk's hood is actually Anemone canadensis and it is white. Would you like it? It is blooming now. The flowers are very cute and the leaves are beautiful.

If anyone has Bleeding Heart they would like to share, I'd love it.


Seedrat -
Saw your post about the bulbs - color doesn't matter what ever you want to split up. And if you have any Valerian left.

Sorry; i was on vacay visting family for the last 8 days in Mexico. Just now catching up.

I have some additional requests if it's not too late. I'm not overly worried about them looking pretty tomorrow; i can perk them back up at home.

seedrat
• shasta daisy
• creeping jenny, golden
• foxglove perennial yellow, medium height
• monarda, red
• sedum ruby mantle

luvtogarden
• stella D'Oro
• Red Monarda
• Clay soil


Did anyone have any requests for me? I may have some annuals to bring (petunias and other things) that i grew from seed.

RolRod, Welcome back. Hope your trip was wonderful and that your family is doing well.

If after getting golden creeping jenny from Seedrat you still want more, I will dig up some for you before we leave town. Just let me know.

I would like some petunia and other annuals, please. I will plant them in my neighbor's front bed.

I am thinking; shall I drop off the plants at your house instead of taking them all the way to Evanston? Shall I drop them off this evening or can you come over whenever you can, so I can dig up whatever you like for you?

This way I will have room in my car to transport other plants tomorrow.

OR I can bring them over to you on Sat morning. I'll be happy to do whatever you prefer.

Okay, here are my notes of what I have requested and what I have set aside for others. Please correct me if I make any errors:

I am hopeful/grateful to be receiving from:

Seedrat-
Choc mint
lemon balm
tarragon
red monarda (if available)
perennial foxg
milkweed

Pitimpani-
Viola
red monarda if Seedrat does not have available (please)

Oerickson-
Jack in the pulpit (pretty please)
veronica if available

Linnea-
Phlox

Jasmine-
baby tears if you have any available, but I know you only had a bit

I am bringing the following for:

Linnea-
lemon basil
yerba mansa

Seedrat-
trout lily-I potted some up the other day. The leaves died back but I assume bulbs are still happy
tomato seeds (persimmon and black cherry)
sage
*Unless I misunderstood your notes, I think that you had me listed as bringing dwarf columbine and veriegated lunaria on your list, but I think you meant Linnea for those.

Jasmine-
lemon basil
lettuce leaf basil

Rolrod-
I also have a handful of small veggie seedlings (summer squash, kale, cucumber, sweet pepper)

In addition I'm bringing Greek oregano, German thyme, culinary sage, and lemon basil if anyone else wants to claim any. If not, I will put them in the general area.

Pitimpinai - Saturday morning works out well. I'm planning on doing all my planting Saturday. No point in taking my stuff all the way to Evanston only for it to come back our way. ;) If you still need my help taking stuff tomorrow, shoot me an email and let me know so we can coordinate.

I will save some annuals for Pitimpinai and Jqsen and place the rest on the tables.

HappyGardener - I will take some veggies for the garden that feeds the poor. I'm sure they'd love some more plants.

Happy, I'd love a sage seedling, thanks
Yes, I guess I formatted the list weirdly!

Mickey:
I have some irises and a valerian and garlic for you
The dirt was great, I did bake it since your relative said something weedy was in there. Thanks again!
