| At Andi's, Becki was saying that she was going to talk someone she knew into having one. I don't remember who she said it was. |

| I thought about it briefly, but it is only may! :) If eastside is good with folks, I'd be happy to have everyone over. |

| Newcastle. It is exit 7 on 405, just north of renton, and south of factoria. Pretty central to everywhere, I'd think. I have a large yard and a fair amount of parking as long as my neighbors are warned. :) My husband even likes they idea! :) He said "Great! sounds like fun." whoohoo!! |

| I've never hosted before, so someone will have to give me pointers on what to do. I like the whole pot luck deal, so providing tables and chairs is a must. (haha) What have those of you who have hosted done behind the scene that we participants may not have noticed? |

| Mid September is when Teresa held her exchange last fall. You still have great weather, but the garden is slowing down. I have a number of seedlings that I'm transplanting up to 4" pots for a late summer trade. I also have about 20 hostas in 1 gal pots, rogersia and darmera in 1 gals, etc. I could not make either of the May trades; already very busy. And now it's a battle with the weeds and slugs. But this year my garden turns 4 and it's really productive. I divided 7 clumps of hostas and turned them into 29 clumps. I'm having a new idea for the Nov. Green Elephant. I have been saving up flats and 4" pots so that everyone can winter-sow and label seeds at the exchange; take home 25 new things in one flat. Just LMK when and where in early fall. Jim |
