| The date is Saturday, September 22, time is 10 am. I am almost embarrassed.... The garden looks horrible...the lack of rain and this heat was everything looking do sad. Hopefully it will look better by the swap. I only got a handful of tomatoes and my luffa gourds are producing flowers now, so I am not sure I will have any luffas this year. My daylilies did great....everything else was a so-so. Not the first bloom on my moon vine! I will have some seeds to share from one of my plants in the front garden...right now the name is escaping me. Who is in for this swap? |

| I will be there. My moon vine is growing like crazy, but no blooms yet. Can I divide this at all to swap? I don't want to kill it. |

| As far as I know you can't divide it....you can only save seeds from the blooms. We had it for two years and loved it...we would sit outside and wait for the flowers to start to open and then sit back and enjoy the fragrance. I will not give up on this and will try again next year. We finally have a hummer or two....they always show up on their back back south....never had any luck with them on their migration from the south. |

| Hi Marcia, count me in! I think all of us in Louisville have had the same heat/drought troubles. My celosia and melampodium are finally getting some height- they stayed so small almost all summer I will try to take up the hardy begonia for you and Sue- they have almost 'expired' in this heat! anyone want peony? No sense digging if no one needs- let's post 'wants' I have lots of things if I just knew what is wanted my two top wants: see you soon, |

| Not sure yet if I can make it. Hopefully can commit by next week. Long story. The weather here in SW Indiana has been awful too, but maybe its broken. Got 1/2inch of rain on Saturday and 3/4 this evening. I am thrilled. I grew moon vine for the first time this year. My, what a rampant grower. Had my first bloom last week. Heavenly scent! My daturas just started blooming a couple of weeks ago. If it turns out I can come to the swap will post what I have next week. |

| Guess what? I have a bloom on my moon vine. I am so excited. I will definitely try to save some seeds for next spring's swap. I don't have a list of wants, but will take anything. My garden is so sparse. I am looking forward to next Saturday. |

| I'm so sorry that I can't come! Not that I have much to swap after this killer of a summer. Have a wonderful time and thanks Marcia for hosting. |

| Thanks Nancy.....I am not sure how many people will be coming...it looks like 4 as of now. This year has been a "killer" on everyone's yard. |
