Mutts Fan .. your name is on the mauve ROS .. it should be find to plant this fall ... just make sure you mulch it well. If it doesnt make it .. I can get you another one in the fall :o)

Laura

Sydseeds,
Did you still want the yellow variegated hosta? I must have read your original post too quickly because I only remembered you asking for the yellow variegated one and then didn't see it on this new post. I'll bring the lime green and yellow variegated hostas.
Heather

Ceraholt - I'm such a hosta-beaner - I thought it was one type a lime green and varigated yellow hosta, and just shortened its name on my 'getting' listing - but if I had a choice between the two (now that I'm not as clueless as I appear to be) I'd choose the plain old lime green one.

Only 21 more days 'til the swap!

So far have only aranged two swaps.
Mutts-fan- white astible for a sprite

Tomgyrill--oastade Fern and maiden hair for two Hibiscuis

skraps-I would love some of your strawflower seed-the kids would get a kick out of them. Check out my list and see if anything interests you.

sydseeds-you mean keener, I had to look up the definition of slip. I'll bring both hostas for you and if I'm not being too greedy, I would love the surprise of finding out which clematis group 3 you have. The ville de lyon that I got from you last fall is doing great...lots of blooms.
Thanks,
Heather

Wildflower-I can bring you a ginger plant. It is shade loving, has a deep purple flower in spring and spreads.

Thanks,
Heather

sydseeds-would you like a large thick leaved dark green hosta or a chocolate vine for the clematis?

Ceraholt - sure - the large thick leafed dark green hosta for the unknown clematis is a deal. I'll update my main trade page accordingly.

Skraps - Saw you were looking for japanese snowball bush - want my japanese snowball bush for something in exchange? I like ferns if you have any left. LMK

skraps: I would love some of your astilbe and fern. Check out my list and see if anything interests you.

Hi everyone Glad your coming Laura The ligularia has your name on it.Hope to find pine cones for sydseeds will wait til I get there to many choices to decide right now. See you all Oct 1 Laine

I am looking for cobweb hens and chicks as well as any other unusual variety other than the green with tinges of red. Also any other alpine/rock garden suitable plant. I have a log with jagged edges I would like to plant these things on.

I can bring to the swap
-worm castings
-white sedum
-sedum belladona(I think it has bright pink flowers).
-cattleya Orchid orange flowers
-yucca seeds
-hydroton expanded clay pebbles
maybe other things as well. I am a newbie so my garden has not divided much yet.

So far I have:
Clematis heracleifolia seedlings(can't recall the name but has blue flowers)
Camanula glomerata Caroline(can be a spreader so it's
best to contain this one)
Some of these

and these but the colour is a little lighter than the pix

Green Hosta seedlings(Hi Ho Silver) that most likely will remain small in size

Brug cuttings

Anisten, I'll bring you some cobweb hens & chicks

Hi sydseeds and peatpod!! I am glad you guys are coming too!! I will bring enough peonies for everyone, in all different colours. I also have Columbines in different colours. I bring those too.

Syd what color are you canna??

Laura

Hi everyone,
I'd like to come also, but I've never been to Markham. Can I get there by TTC from West Toronto?

Mari11 - I'm coming from the north so I'm not certain but since it's right where Unionville High School is, I suspect TTC/Go would be how the high school students are bussed so faily confident that it is a well serviced bus route.

Peatpod - a week ago I wouldn't have had an answer, but now I know - yellow!

Syd I wouldnt mind a few extra yellow cannas .. is there anything you would like on my list. Oh and by the way .. my clematis you wanted didnt take to the ground layering I attempted. I will try again in the fall and see what happens for the spring swap :o)

Laura

I wanted to know if there was any interest in my yucca and a house plant called calf's tongue. They are large and if no one wants them, I'm not going to take up precious space with them. Please let me know and I will bring them if anyone is interested.
Heather

Regarding TTC to Markham swap (Markham Theatre/UHS):

Take TTC to Finch Subway. Transfer to York Region Bus #1 (goes along Yonge or Bayview and then east along Hwy 7). Requires a separate fare, I think its $2.50 for an adult. Get off the bus at Town Centre Blvd and its a less than 5 min walk to the Markham Theatre parking lot.

Hope this helps Mari11!

ceraholt .. Wendy2shoes is looking for yucca for her front yard. She wont be attending the Markham swap but will be at the Halton swap and she has very little to trade .. if no one is interested in it .. dont pitch it Im sure she will find room for it in her garden.

Laura

Had a great time at Bowmanville swap thanks to Heather
and all the swappers.Looking forward to Markham so many coming, glad you are able to make it Laura & all the rest lol Sydseeds could I have some hen's&chicks as well as glads
See you all Oct 1.laine

Hi Laura,
Ok looks like there is some interest in the yucca so I'll bring 3 or 4. I'll freecycle the calf's tongue. Maybe you could take a yucca to Wendy???
Thanks,
Heather

Great Heather .. I will let her know it will be coming.

Laura

Ok guys there are only a few days left before the trade .. well ok its about 10 days away but I am already in a panic about getting lost :o) I need directions on how to get there from Burlington. Help!!
Oh and they need to be idiot proof .. I get lost so easily :o)

Laura
