| Hi all,
It's been a long three years since we sold our house and I had to abandon my lovely gardens. Even sadder is having driven past the old place the following year to discover that the new owners had tilled in ALL of the flower beds and planted nothing but boxwoods against the entire foundation. I cried for days. Enough of my sad story. . . We have a New Home to move into at the end of the month and I get to start over! Anyone who might be interested in a trade for postage or if you are in the Concord area maybe a cool drink and some fresh cookies :-). I could really use some help, all I have to start out is a pot of Purple Heart and a single Shasta Daisy. the landscaping is rather poor since it is all so new but I just can’t wait to get on my knees and start to dig! Most of the work will be in soil enrichment but I think my heart will break if I don't get a few things in the ground. |

| have you checked out the Raleigh swap? Its a bit of a drive for you, but I know many people drive that far or further to come. Check out the thread here on the exchange forum and the food thread on the conversation forum. |
|
| tietie, Thanks,I would love to but the big problem is I can't drive, I'm legialy blind. That's why I fell in love with the exchange years ago. Cindy |

| Cindy, what a shame losing your garden and having it replaced with BOXWOODS!!! Talk about adding insult to injury! Too bad you can't make it to the Raleigh swap. I know I will have stuff I can send for postage but I have to wait until after the swap to send it because I get scatterbrained. Here's what I can easily spare: japanese anemone acanthus 'summer beauty' creeping jenny (aggressive) ajuga (aggressive) variegated monkey grass coneflowers black eyed susans small purple irises tiger lilies verbena bonariensis If any of these spark your interest let me know. I think I would be heartbroken if I ever had to move and leave my garden. -Ais. |
|
| Oh Ais! Anything you can send would be wonderful! After the swap is fine with me. We don't close until the end of the month and there will be the dreaded *unpacking* task LOL. I'll keep in touch and send you out what ever you think postage would be. Doing a HAPPY DANCE! Cindy |

| is anybody coming to the swap from concord? that's near charlotte, right? maybe we could send "extras" and "leftovers" and "oops, i brought too many's" or "maybe i don't *need* 6 seedlings of this plant today" bits thataway as stowaways with someone? otherwise maybe i'll catch ais at the swap and drop in a couple irises & glads (i'm horrible at mailing things). |
|
| Cindy, What are your "wants"? There's nothing on your list - go ahead and let us know what you'd like so we can get them to you. I'm in Hickory and could drive down sometime with some goodies. . .Rosemary |
|
| Gosh, This is why I fell in love with GW years ago. . . You all are amazing! I can’t say I really have anything that I desperately want at the moment. I think to start I will be better off sticking to the most tolerant of plants and bulbs since I haven’t done any soil amendments - compost takes a while to cook LOL. |

| Cindy I live in Florence SC but I could send you some small Rose of Sharon at least. Maybe by next month I will know more of what I have extra. I am redoing beds and extending some things. I am a 6 year ovarian cancer survivor and this year I am working on my neglected flower beds---Dale |
|
| Hi, Cindy! I have some perennial sunflower (helianthus 'Lemon Queen'), some yellow canna and some Iris I can send. Please send me your address. Sally |
|
| Hi All, Sorry I haven't posted - Things here have been more then a little insane! Our Closing date is up in the air and we're packed with no place to go (Until we get the closing date set) I’ve e mailed each of you personally but wanted to post too. I'll be off line during and for a few days after the move (when ever that will be) LOL Thanks for all of your support, Cindy |
