Murphy's Law. The nicest July I have ever seen in my life and I have been stuck in the house in a walking boot for a month. Something about posterior tibial tendonitus. Walking on slopes is just too intense.

So what are the rest of you potting up or planning on bringing to the swap? Anyone growing magnolia vine?

    planning to bring: divisions of agapanthus (have to divide it with a chainsaw, pretty much), ribbon grass, heuchera. A small fatsia, meadow rue, and crocosmia if anyone wants the gift that keeps on giving. Japanese anemone starts if somebody wants. Astilbe. The liatris I forgot last time.

    I will bring a start of this cool 'big dipper" EE that I grows like crazy and makes babies very well in my yard. It catches the rain and then tips it out like a big teapot. I got it from Nelson.

    Well that's enough to get me to drive down.

    I should have some nice pots of rosemary for the swap.
