I have already potted:
sedum-autumn joy
red shamrock
lime green sedum (angelina?)
heurchera -palace purple
rudbeckia-triloba "brown eyed susan" have tons of volunteers I can take up if anyone wants them...
red veined dock

I have a shrub -I think it's called amsonia "Blue Star" I wintersowed it a couple or 3 yrs ago, not realizing it was a shrub-and now it needs to find a new home-It blooms in the spring-it's pretty

Marcia-did the columbine I brought you live?
I have more I can take up

I like having prearranged 'deals'too in addition to bringing my many extra iris, peony, and day lilly... I don't mind taking up anything I have, but if no one wants/needs them I won't dig..
some are:
camomile
mint-spearmint and lemon
bee balm-violet queen
columbine
Joe Pye weed
daisy-Shasta?
obediant plant-invasive-purple
gooseneck loosestrife-invasive-white

looking forward to seeing everyone again...
Linda (by the airport)

I'll post a more specific list of what I'm bringing soon, but feel free to peek at my plants have list here on GW. It's fairly accurate to what I have.

--Tina

Yes, Alan is coming too! :) With food!

Bachelor's Buttons
Yellow Dahlia -- the flowers are only about 3 inches across
Columbine
Yellow Coreopsis
Yellow Iris
Some weird spreading plant that I have around my garden pond
Sweet William
1 prickly pear pad (it's been rooted for about a year)
Blue aster

Just a thought...since most of us are 'seasoned' gardeners (so far anyway), and maybe not looking for or needing much (like me, Marcia, and flowerchildky/Linda) folks might want to check to see for sure there will be good homes for things that are brought...just a thought....but of course Dreamspirit will give some plants good homes.

Maybe we should start a post on the 'Exchange side of the forum with subject line of something like June 4,2011 Louisville swap prearranged swaps/shares". Think?

I hope to have various irises to bring...both named and NO ID ones, and not sure what all...I will be listing stuff later though to see if there is any interest before digging and potting stuff.

Sue

Thanks,
Marla Jo

Also, let's do what we can to bring some newbies in. I may just go through the KY members list and send out a recruiting email. (There are about 40 in KY....though I haven't checked the members for OH or IN. If someone might want to do those....I know it's a little random but might work!)

Linda....I can't remember what color it was....I haven't noticed anything new....except a million baby maple trees...UGH> Hope to get them pulled by the swap.

Marla Jo...anything you want I will save for you.
This weather has been so crazy it is hard to get things done outside....but we will have fun anyway.

If you remember my daughter, Molly, from past swaps. She is pregnant and due in about 7 weeks. Little boy...or should I say big boy. If you look at her from the back, you would not know she was pregnant, but when she turns around....WOW !!!! Maybe I can talk her into coming over and hanging out with us.

the columbine is red

Marla Jo- I will take up the plants you want

Tina ....hope you can get some more folks 'on board'-would love to see a big crowd

hope to take up lots of plants this weekend- yes, the rain has sure gotten in the way for gardening..

see you soon,
Linda

Now....I have some holly bushes in front of my house that I'm thinking of getting rid of. Does anyone want some? I have 2 that are about 2ft high and 2 ft wide, and 3 more that are a little larger. Please let me know if you want holly and I'll dig whatever you want.

I am looking for some shade plants, especially those that don't grow very wide. I finally got rid of the creeping crud vines between my house and driveway (under the carport) and want to put some shade plants in there.

A few of my other "wants:"
Yarrow
Russian Sage
Catmint
Phlox (tall and/or creeping)

Also, Linda, I will give your amsonia a home if nobody else wants it. There is one growing at a mailbox near where I live and I've always admired it :)

Looking forward to seeing you guys! I'm trying to find a friend or two to come with me, but so far no definite takers.

Jen

Jen...you know I have shade plants...no problem.

This weather is the pits. I hope to do some yard work before you all come. The garden looks horrible......I am embarrassed :(

Kate151, I would love some of your yellow dahlia.

Linda, would love some of your chamomile, red shamrock, and lime green sedum (angelina?) if possible.

Post some requests from my have list and I'll see if they are dividable yet....I'll get things listed that I have potted already and will likely pot tomorrow as well.

**I sent out invites to a bunch of folks listed as "in KY" in their member pages. Not sure if those are accurate or not, but worth a shot.

--Tina

I have everyone's want list--
having a little trouble with wilting on some of the ones I have already taken up, but I am watering and hope they will be ok- I tried to get a 'chunk' of soil with each-

my son Doug will dig some more for me today-

Tina, I would like some choc mint-

will check back here later today..
see you tomorrow
Linda

I haven't dug anything yet, but plan to dig some things that might be of interest
Double Red Peony starts.
TB Iris I believe to be Alice Goodman. Shall I put anyone's name on a fan or more of it?

Also daylily I think it Magic Quest...anyone?

No ID Pretty pink...anyone?

Might get to an unknown red...has needed dug for years! Anyone? If so, do you want like a huge clump of it that you can separate out?

Named daffodils in smaller quantities?

NO ID daffs in larger quantities...have numerous ones. Anyone?

Nance, I'm digging what I 'think/hope is tall pink garden phlox...but it might be purple...just not sure. You can take a chance on it if you want and shovel prune if you later find out it is purple and not wanted...or else it can go to another home.

Sue....so behind as usual

I also have a variegated leaf hardy violet...anyone need one/some? post here... It reseeds and the offspring are also variegated. I can probably find the name later (like next week).

I would love some of your:
Maybe Alice Goodman Iris
Magic Quest DL
Varigated Violet (coolio)
and a start of the double red peony.

IF you can get to them. I know we're in the home stretch, so no worries if not.

--Tina

Daylily Magic Quest is dug for Nance (Nancy and Kilngod/Tina

Yes! A start of that yucca bright edge. shoot, that's nice.

:) --T

I'm emailing Kate, Marla Jo, and Jen to holler for things tht might be of interest. I can probably dig a few more things in the AM too.

I did not see your request for the dock and shamrock-will save the dock for you- will devide the shamrock for the 3 of you that requested

I am bringing some birdhouse gourds-dried and ready for crafting

also have some daylily and coneflowers 'up for grab'
I hope I can get it all in my car! LOL

AND I am bringing the brownies!! :))

Linda

I'll try to get the honey glazed for you...am surprised at you requesting it since you too are paring things down like I am.

I may be a bit late, so I hope I don't miss nance/Nancy, with her goodies as she has been in a rush in years past. Hope I still have my directions and phone number for Marcia.

Sue
