the spring swap

okay, bad news guys, I am not going to be able to do it this year. I have a wedding to do the flowers for that day, and am also working, so the even worse news is that I won't be able to attend either :(. But I am hoping that one of you old faithfuls will step up and offer to host and we can keep the tradition going strong, anyone? anyone? I will still be able to get together the night before.....SO SORRY....

    I will be happy to host the swap if people are willing to come to Washington.

    What do you say, guys?

    Sounds fine with me. I have so many plant to divide. Couldn't come last year fall. Missed all the fun.

    I've never been to a swap before, but would love to come, if you're accepting "newbies" (live just south of Washington). I should have a few things to bring , but probably not a whole lot. Would like to come just to see what it is and meet some of you guys, more than anything. Sounds like a lot of fun!:)

    Sorry you won't be able to host the swap, but understand you've got a full plate that day. Maude, would love to come, but will depend on the date. I have a lot of named daylilies, White and Red Texas Star Hibiscus, and a lot of named iris I can bring, among other things. Will anxiously be waiting for your reply. And Connie, look forward to seeing you. Thanks for the 'heads up'.......Jay

    All right then - I will post on the Exchanges page where this belongs, and we can get out and get digging.

    Gardeners, mark your calendars!

    Is there anyone here from the Sioux City area? Would like to find out if we have a plant swap here. I'm sure we do just want to find who and where. Thank you

    Anyone have any wants for the swap?

    I want YOU! and HER! and HER! and HIM! and THEM! Come on, peoples!

    Kidding (sorta) - I've posted the swap on the Exchanges page, so anyone with wants/wishes or things to share can post them there when you figure it out.

    I've already had positive response from two new people.

    We have a big front porch, so if it rains, we'll just cozy up and swap there. Otherwise, it will be in the side yard under the big maple tree.
