YEAH Adam!
I will be there! With food and plants and a big old smile!!
If you need any help setting up- or a canopy- or what ever- please let me know how I can help.

Julie

I wish I could go but I am obligated elsewhere that day. Is there anyone who could stop by on their way to Adam's to grab a few things? I live right on the north edge of Saint Paul on Larpenteur Ave.

Adam, how can we miss "the best fall swap ever"!!! Too bad you are so far. Good idea to include seeds, bulbs, ets. I winter sow the first time last winter, except that most of them dried out because I forgot to water them. They probably would have survived had I planted them in the ground in the fall.

Marie, since you are so close, I can come pick up your plants a day or two before. If you pre-arrange trades, I can pick them up for you too. Just let me know when to come by.

No guarantees, but I am going to try to be there. Have plans, but may be able to move things around.

Linda

Well, as it turns out I will not be able to make this swap. Bummer.

Have fun, you all! Guess I'll see you in the spring.

Linda

Well . . so far we have three people for the plant swap (including myself). For this to be the best fall swap ever, I'm hoping a few more people can make it. I think I will go forward with the swap regardless of how many people can attend. I really don't want to reschedule any later into the fall because we need to get the plants planted and established before the cold sets in.

Let me know if you can make it. Thanks!!!

- Adam

Are there more people going? If there are only 3 of us, should we reschedule to increase participation or cancel?

Sorry guys can't come. I am going mushroom hunting with an expert coming from Georgia. It is all weekend.

Adam, your post must came up when I was typing mine. Anyway, if you don't want to reschedule, hope more people will sign up between now and then. Julie, are you coming for sure? If we coordinate what we have and what we want, we can still make it a good swap. Please let me know what you want. I have plenty of raspberries, strawberries and lily of the valleys. If you want them, I'll bring them. If not, please let me know too. I hate to dig them up, if no one wants them. Also, let me know what you want. If I have them, I'll bring them. As for me, any easy to grow flowers, especially showy and/or very fragrant ones, edible fruits, berries, nuts, ground covering for shady and dry place, etc. would be great. Oh, yes, blood root, if you have them. I am not fuzzy, if you do not have plants, cuttings and seeds are OK too. Julie, I can bring you a cutting of cereus.

Well, I am still planning on being there- and it looks like a friend, Terri will be joining me!
May- as far as requests go- do you have any hosta? Iris? Hardy Hibiscus? Mums? Hen and Chicks? Tree Peonies? Pulmonaria? Lilies- other than Tiger lilies?

Thanks-

Julie

Julie - May will be stopping by here to grab a couple things, including iris! :)

-Marie

Julie, what hosta are you looking for? I have mostly the common green hosta, a Patriot from Leftwood and a green one with narrow white edges. I have the common blue iris, pink garden mums, Sorbet Peony and daylily. The daylilies are mostly the common orange ones, but there is a shorter yellow one, maybe Stella de Oro. Let me know what you would like and I'll dig them up. Oh, any one have shrubs to spare?

Marie, I have a few things to do today. Plan to stop by your house mid-afternoon or, if I am behind schedule, early evening.

Julie,

The two coneflowers you were wondering about are:

Echinacea purpurea "Pink Double Delight"
Echinacea x "Mathew Saul" Big Sky Harvest Moon
