A couple of pots of lithodora, some Monarda, and a bunch of pepper and tomato starts. I'll know exactly how many of each in a few weeks.

This year, I am going to try to have some seedlings of perennial garden favorites. IF the weather cooperates!

I'll also bring some kind of baked good, scones, cookies, something that doesn't need to be hot. I can bring a folding table that we can set up in the parking lot for food, if we need it.

Ajuga..green variety..8
Allium triquestrum...........2
Bamboo..small green..running..1 gallon
Campanula Persicifolia.....7
Columbine..unknown..1
Geranium.. like Samobar..but no leaf decoration....1
Ornamental Grass..variegated..5
Penstemon..�Huskers Red�...1
Potentilla......�Melton Fire�.....one 2 incher
Primrose..English variety..maroon..3
Primrose..the red blooming from Dirt works.... 8
Primrose..Wanda....14
Shasta Daisy..big Alaska.....4 ......and one 2 incher
Siberian Iris..your purple.....1...and one gallon
Sweet Woodruff......2...and four 2 inchers
Yellow Eyed Grass..3

I will get more ready once I return home.

Bejoy, could I get some yellow eyed grass and the bamboo? I'll have to look around and see what I have.

If not..I just retured home..so now I will have time to get more plants ready before the plant trade..and maybe something there will be tempting. *G*

Winter sowed a lot of seeds, but not all have sprouted just yet. Will bring an assortment of what I have to spare along with manure if I can get my buckets back from my daughter's place. Another gardener is born...

RECOMMENDED USES
The material is soil-like in appearance. Keep material dry until ready for use.
Consider mixing your own potting soil and adding about 8-10% Bonney Good Sumner Grow to the mix. This gives your plants a slow-release nitrogen feed with valuable trace elements over a period of time, getting new transplants off to a healthier start.

Established Lawns: Use as a top dressing at about 25 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
New Lawns & Sod Applications: Use a little less--about 20 lbs per 1,000 square feet.
Shrubs: Use about 1 cup for small bushes, two for medium sized, three for large.
Potted Plants: Use a handful for each medium sized plant.
To Restore Old, Worked Out Gardens: Work about 10-20 pounds per 100 square feet into the top 6 inches of soil. This replaces chemical fertilizers.
Trees: Use 2 pounds per inch of diameter spread evenly to the drip line (the tree�s shade at noon).

It's supposedly good for repelling deer because of the odor, which is unique to itself, not like poo really.

Barb R U interested to see if it repels the elk?

I know now (only "thought it" before!) that I'll pot up lots of random plants and can't promise anything before the swap. However, my worm bin is very active so if anyone wants a pound or so I can surely accommodate that request!

I would love to have some worm poop! You did mean poop, right, not worms?

Hmm...my wish list -- I'm really into the red/orange/purple/yellow color combination this spring for some reason. So anything with leaves or flowers in those colors will suit me, I think. Especially, Heucheras and ornamental grasses. Anything with dark purple leaves or chartreuse leaves. I just picked up a purple-leaved Euphorbia at McLendon's this morning, which I love, it has purply leaves and yellow flowers. Stuff like that.

I have a big native area in my garden, so I'll also take natives.

I'm not being very specific, sorry. I do actually have a long and very specific list on my blog of Plants I Want. Feel free to take a look at it, I'll put a link with this post.

@ everyone else: Is anyone starting a worm bin and in need of "starter" worms?

I am also going to bring a bunch of books and magazines, which are free for the taking.

Some of the book titles:

Garden Pools, Fountains and Waterfalls
The Master Book of the Water Garden
Natural Stonescapes
Creating Garden Accents
Backyard Mosaics
Building Birdhouses
Reinvent Your Garden
Gifts From the Garden
And a handful of Ortho "All About" books

I just bought a hellebore. It is blooming and it is divine
Does anyone know, should I plant it into the ground now or wait until it finishes it's blooming?

Thank you!

Just a reminder to all - there will be no kitchen or restroom facilities available. There is a McDonald's, Burger King, and a Starbuck's nearby.
