FOR:

Plantfan - I will dig up more Malva & Vinca for you

Lgoffen - I will pot up some Malva for you. Give it a try and see how it works. Sorry, but no more Lamium. I'll check a friend's yard if he has any.


Sorry - but no more requests from here on. I'm running around today and will have little time to devote to digging, etc. But, if you still want something after the swap, contact me and we can make arrangements. Thank you for your understanding.

Here's the list I've made:

Jasmine : Can give me raspberries, red Christmas Cactus cuttings, and gooseberry / I'll give pink Christmas Cactus cuttings, Moses in the Cradle cuttings (currently in water)

Happygardener23 : Can give me Black Eyed Susan

jqsen : can give me raspberries / I'll give small rescue Phalaenopsis orchids

Tini7777 : I'll give small rescue Phalaenopsis orchids and Moses in the Cradle cuttings (currently in water)

I'll also bring white window blinds to use as plant labels. I plan to arrive early and stay late. The exact times depends on the person who's hopefully giving me a ride.

If I made an error or missed someone, please let me know.

verdant, I'm bringing you strawberries and raspberries, and the kalanchoe for you to look at.

pitimpinai

Thank you for all the plants. If no one has claimed the larkspar, I would love to add it to my garden. I was hesitant to ask since you are bringing me so much already. If it no trouble, please add it to my list of plants.

Seedrat

Thank you - If you would like the bucket back - I can transfer it to a bag - no worries at all.
If you don't care for the bucket - I can take it home as is. The preference is completely yours.
I am fine with either.

Thanks Seedrat!

Okay, I have labeled all requested plants according to my list on page 7 so please double-check there if I had promised something to you. I will bring some tomatoes, oregano, calendula, BES, and a prickly pear cactus for the general tables as well as some misc. plastic planter pots.

I will try to arrive a bit early depending on traffic. Two of my children have no school tomorrow and my timing will depend on my husband's goodwill ;o)

Thank you to everyone bringing me plants. I look forward to the swap every year. I have been talking up the swap to many and have some "first-timer" friends coming. Hoping for a great (non-rainy) day!

Pitimpinai -

It's Friday that I won't be able to get to the swap until 4-5 ish, not Saturday. I have a clock repair person due between 1-3 tomorrow. I'hoping they make it 1:oo.

Will be at the swap in the morning to drop off my trades, then back to home.

Why don't we say next week...you pick a day. That way neither of us is crammin' and jammin' .

Lgoffen & LinneaL -

I have secured more Lamium from my friend's yard. So you will get a nice pot full!

Seedrat -

IF you have any basil left, keep me in mind. I am way behind in my herb starting. Thanks.

I have lots of basil, just ask for some when you come by!

Pitimpinai, I just now saw your offer of native ferns. If you are bringing some, I will happily take them off your hands. Probably too late for a set-aside now so I guess I'll look for them. Thanks for the offer!!

Hey Y'all; I completely forgot to check back.

I was going to come with some friends but it's not looking good on the radar. Giant storm coming through from 4 - 8. I'm sad to say I'm staying home.

Ellen - If you come across a Pink Columbine it's mine. Unless tini7777 didn't make it with this nasty weather. If not, wasn't meant to be.My maters are looking great! Thanks for the early, early. I will come by tomorrow and grab the greenhouse.

Once again, nice sawp! Lousy weather, but gardeners are hardy!

Thanks Annette for the goodies. And Linneal - I love the color.

Hope EVERYONE dries out. I sure hope our weather gets better, I'm always doubtful when it rains over Memorial day.

Luvtogarden,
In that case, come by tomorrow anytime before, say 3 pm. Do you have my address still?
I missed you at the swap.

oerickson, thank you for another fantastic swap. Although the weather did not cooperate, but the rain was good for the plants, eh?

Thank you, everyone, for bringing me my requests and then some. I came home with a car full of loot as usual. We will all be busy for the next several days. Me, I will have to figure out where to plant them all.

Happy Gardening and see you next year.

You people are amazing!
I call it total success! So much cooperation, so many goodies...

Thanks to all you brave and generous gardeners. You must all be waterproof: right??? I am STILL warming up.

I am looking forward to planting and enjoying all these wonderful treasures. The kind spirit with which they were given will act like natural fertilizer, I’m sure, and they will flourish in their new home.

My disabled friend with the too-shady yard will be blown away when he sees all the lovely hostas, snow on the mountain, ground covers, etc.,

Thanks to Ellen and all the other hard-working helpers / enablers. Thanks too, to the Unitarian Church for giving it room to grow.

It was great to see everyone! We had almost everyone in this group show up. It was great to see everyone again and
meet the new people! Thanks for all the lovely plants, everyone.

Evanston Newb, make sure you car has a LOT of room when you go to pick up the "stragglers" :D

I have not gotten this soaked through in decades. I too am still warming up. I was so happy to see so many come to the swap despite the rain!

I hope the church is OK with the tables getting wet. I know we talked about that possibility amongst ourselves the first year we started doing it there, but that was awhile ago. I really appreciate them letting the swap occur there.

Please let Doug know that he and his friend sounded great. I was glad they found a spot to play despite the rain.

Thank you to everyone for the plants and for such a well organized event! I think I received everything, but after an hour and 15 min in the rain and needing to get back to kids, I had to go! I envision everyone in their gardens this weekend planting and designing and so he communal feeling continues.
