Hi, Andi! Yes! I am interested in coming to the swap. I do need to check baseball schedules and such, but it really sounds like fun! Heather and the boys would probably stay with Ray or a sitter and I will bring Ben with me. He is sort of attatched right now. Talk to ya later!

Hi Andi,
Thanks for organizing. I would love to come if you will have me! I have very little to trade, but I think I might actually be able to come this time with something!! I have some baby seedlings almost ready to share. I am coming from Spanaway/Graham area. Could I get some directions please :-)
Thanks,
Susan

Hi Andi, I would love to come and see those 250 hostas! I am really excited about seeing your garden. I don't really have a lot of stuff to trade but I am sure I can dig something up between now and then. Please send me directions. I will be coming from Puyallup. Thanks. Karen

Hi Andi,

Thanks for choosing a Sunday this time! I definitely plan to attend.

Hmmm, what else to offer to trade?! What else to seek?! Maybe some of the "special" things and TRY to resist the more common? (who has that kind of will power?!) Ok, my focus will be on looking for hummingbird attractors, especially salvias, agastaches & phygelius. Also interested in brugmansias and double purple daturas.

Hi...I would love to come to your Plant Swap as well.
Thanks for hosting this event. It will be great fun! I also can't wait to see all those beautiful hostas. *G*

Andi, I'll be there, but late. Darn it! I miss everyone but the diehards. Maybe I can work out something so I can get off earlier from work. Susan

Hi all,
My exchange material is very limited, but I did sow quite a few seeds this winter and will have some babies to share. So far I have potted up:

Rose Mallow or Hardy Hibiscus (Red, pink or white potluck)
Black/maroon hollyhocks
Bluebeard (Caryopteris 'Dark Knight')

I will be hopefully adding more as they get big enough to be potted.

Susan

Andi,

An exchange in my own town! I would love to come, though don't know what I have in the way of plants to bring for trade. Almost all are natives that people already have like foxglove, oregon grape, sword ferns, etc. I do have a fair amount of ajuga, and could conceivably make cuttings of several other things.

Aaron

Aaron - Don't worry about not having much to trade, I guarantee you'll go home with a carfull! We love to load people up with plants :)

And I've also noticed in the last year or two that native plants are becoming more and more popular, so if you have extra natives, post a "Haves" list and I bet people will be interested.

I'll email directions to everyone posting to this thread...

Andi

Aaron,
There will be other beginners like me who don't have enough of the "common" stuff. I am just building my garden and will be coming with maybe only food! Hopefully though I will have some seedlings to share. Looking forward to meeting some new people!
Susan

I will try to make it, but it's the start of gig season for my drum group, so no guarantees but we don't have anything at that time currently. A link to my garden list is below. Not everything is tradable, but you can ask if you're interested!

Andi, you've sucked me in again! Maya and I will be there. I'll update my trade list later.

Ha! Gotcha Doris!!! You know my girls will keep your little one busy so that you can get a cholorophyll fix. I'll make sure you have plenty of chocolate LOL!

Andi

I was earlier thinking of outdoor plants for trade, but does anyone need any house plants? Granted my house plants are fairly common too, but they grow like crazy and I can't keep them contained except for the cacti and african violets. I have solid green spider plants (haven't seen real spiders for quite a while inside, coincidence?). Also have purple velvet plant, red veined fittonia, grape ivy (cissus), asparagus fern (plumosus). I threw about a dozen spider plant babies outside last week just for fun to use as ground cover annuals, contemplanting planting my big spider outside as it is taking over my bathroom and a real trick to keep watered.

Aaron

Hey, Aaron, why don't you make a list of those wonderful natives? I'm interested!

Well put me on the list. I hope to make it. I dont know if I will have 2 of my boys with me or not. Hopefully just myself. I will have mostly seedlings to trade. I know I have a horrid ( I dont like it) bush that seems to have survived being up rooted. It will be a freebie, it has thorns and I hate big thorns..lol. I also will have a few cacti available. I dont know what they are, as they were given to me. Maybe I can get them ID'ed before the trade.
I will hopefully get my trade list updated. See you all there.
Kathy

Aaron, I am also interested in the natives, especially the foxglove. Please, please, please make a list!!

Ok, I'll put together a list in the next few days!

Aaron
