| 2009 Spring MAG Swap: Plants you WANT List
**DIRECTIONS for WANTS LIST ** If you're new to the swaps, please take the time and have the courtesy to read these posts. They're here to help everyone have a good time. 1. Post a list of the plants you WANT on this thread, ideally with Latin names to avoid confusion, and cultivar names if they have them and you know what they are.
This is important: When you bring your plants, LABEL your plants if possible. We often forget which was what by the time we get them home! Popsicle stick, plastic spoons, recycle old window blinds or other "plantable markers" are great, as they can be popped right in to the ground along with the plant. Clearly mark & separate your "RESERVED PLANTS" (i.e., plants for which you have a pre-arranged swap). Gentle Reminder: At the swap, please do NOT take anything that is labeled for someone else, or is NOT labeled "FREE" or "PLEASE TAKE." Ask….That's all you have to do. If I have forgotten anything else, please add to this thread. Happy Gardening! |

| Hi all! I've lost a ton thru last year's drought and my own depression-generated neglect. I know I lost at least 12 Japanese Maples and probably as many hosta :( I am digging through dead weeds that look like hay to discover what has managed to survive this last year. I am hoping to replace a few loved things that just gave up without attention. Then I lost 75% of my shade when a tornado took out two, extremely large trees... (my life!) I don't know what I'll have to trade yet, because I still don't know what's made it. I'll do my best! crocus, preferably dark purple I'm sure I'll start to think of other new things as I find such new, open spaces. Thanks! |

| Hi everyone! I am a new gardener, a ‘tenderfoot’, building some planting beds in my front, side, and back townhouse yard. I only have a few plants, so I will welcome some new ones! I don’t have anything to trade right now, but maybe next year…. I can bring food! My house faces south so I have full sun almost all day, especially in the summer. I am hoping to find the following, if anyone has any to share: Plants: Jerusalem Artichokes Seeds: Will welcome herbs that I can cook with. I have a few lamb’s ears, columbine and yarrow, so I don’t need those. My friend, "busyasabee" has helped me plant those. Thanks for your help! k |

| I just took inventory of my garden, and it looks like I lost my butterfly bush. Maybe I pruned it too hard last month. I don't see any growth at all, just sticks. So, if anyone has a gallon-sized butterfly bush (purple or pink flowers), I would love to adopt it. Jette |
|
| I can only take anything that is deer-proof, as everything else basically disappears from my garden. That's a pretty short list, but here are some I could use more of: Monkshood (any variety) Anything else that's deer-resistant and shade-tolerant Also, my vegetable garden is fenced off, so I might be interested in some veggie plants. |
