As for plants, I'm working on it. I've dug up a few babies from my garden, and potted them. I have my fingers/toes crossed that they will be ready to go by swap time.

We weren't sure what time to start, so please plan on being there between 9-10 a.m. -- we know that some of you have a good ways to drive. The earlier the better !!
Swapping can start with only two people. ;-)

DIRECTIONS:

If you are driving south on IH 35:

Take the 204B C.M. Allen Parkway exit.

Stay on the access road until you come to C.M. Allen Parkway... It's a good ways. You'll cross over the San Marcos River, and then you'll come to C.M. Allen... and the baseball fields. There were big piles of dirt out in the open lots...

Turn Right on C. M. Allen (it's the only way to turn. IH 35 is to the left). Go to the stop sign (you'll pass by the baseball fields). At the stop sign, turn right... this is Cheatham Street. Rio Vista Park is 1/10 of a mile on the left. Turn Left on Reynolds Street (1/10 mile)... by the big stone sign. Follow the drive way around past the swimming pool to the parking lot.

Pavilion B has 4 picnic tables under the octagon pavilion. I hope to have up a sign
that reads GARDENWEB SWAP, or something similar.

If you are driving north on IH 35:

We believe that you will take Exit 205 and take the turnaround under the highway and
drive south using the directions above. There may be some construction in that area which may void our directions.

Please bring whatever you want to get rid of. Believe me, we'll have takers ! Plants, seeds, tubers, bulbs, cuttings ! Garden books, magazines, accessories, pots,
fertilizer....anything you don't want but someone else may still get use from. If you have nothing.... come anyway.... we'll send you home with something !

We also will have drawings for door prizes, which are all donated for a little fun. Lunch will also be served with your help. Bring your favorite dish, or stop at the store for something to share with the group. Carla and I will be bringing the goods to eat with/on, as well as some sodas and perhaps water. (& Nametags !)

If you have a small table and chairs, please bring those for your use. Table space is limited, and we try to keep those clear so that we'll have some place to sit while we eat.

We hope you'll be there to have some fun with us. It will be nice to see all the regulars again. And very nice to have newbies there, as well.

If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, etc, please don't hesitate to
email me.

I don't want to bring this tree to the swap unless someone can give it a good home. Contrary to what someone else posted, this tree does not have or get thorns. If anyone has "Native Texas Plants," the description is on page 333. This is a lovely tree, almost evergreen, with a corky corded trunk in older trees, and it blooms. It will grow in Austin and south of Austin.

You are certainly welcome to come to the swap. Some beginning gardeners have brought other things in the past, such as gardening books, to trade. I can tell you that whatever I bring to trade will go home with someone else, since I don't plan on bringing any of my stuff back home.

Also, does anyone want rose cuttings? (I don't even know if they will root at this time of year, but I'd be glad to bring them.) I don't have anything fancy.--Old Blush, Mrs. B.R. Cant, Zephrine Drouhin, Comtesse Du Cayla, Mrs. Oakley Fisher, Maggie, Marie Pavie, and Mrs. Dudley Cross. Send me an e-mail if you want a cutting.

I don't have much to trade - aloe vera & asparagus fern, maybe lamb's ear and purpleheart.

Hope to see you there !!
