| Ok here we go.
Western Pa Plant Swap Saturday June 10th, 3rd Swap Where: Railroad Supervisors Club, Baden Pa. Railroad Supervisors Club
You can access Tevebaugh Hollow Rd from either Route 65 in Baden or if your coming from Interstate 79 you can access Tebebaugh Hollow Rd from Conway Wallrose Road. The supervisors club has no numbered address. But it's not hard to find. Just put in your address in a mapquest or other map program and put in Tevebaugh Hollow Road, Baden, PA 15005 On Route 65 before you get to northern lights there is an exxon gas station, turn left if your coming from Freedom direction, go up that hill follow that road out until you see Baden Economy Fire Department, Turn left, Tevebaugh Road is across from the fire station and it is paved most of the way to the club. The road to turn on where the club is a safe road, just a dirt road, people do live back that road. Cross the little bridge and go a little ways the club is on the left, you can't miss it. (these are directions from last year) Date & Time: June 10th, 12:00 - ?, last year we were there until 4:00PM Trading 1) ORGANIZED TRADING: tracking how many plants each person brings and letting them trade for that many plants (so it's not a "grab and run" affair)
Demo: If anyone would like to demonstrate anything used for gardening. Example Plant Tag (HINT HINT) Linda. CHINESE AUCTION: chinese auction where people who want to participate bring a item and get to take part. Coverd Dish Luncheon: I'll start a new post for so people can post what they would like to bring. HMMMM we had some wonderful dishes last year and great conversation. If I'm forgetting something please let me know. Cathy

| Hi Cathy I would love one of your twisted pussy willow starts I will as soon as possible list plants on plants to trade list as soon as I can start it's really early yet I have wintersown 100s of different perennials I would love to pot some up to bring some really different things(seed junkie here)Keeping fingers crossed waiting to do the happy dance. Patty |
|
| Thanks for doing and arranging all of this for us again Cathy! I would also like one of the Pussy Willows, if you still have them. They sound very interesting. I will update my trade lists asap. Most of us prolly won't be able to have a complete plant trade list until closer to swap time...I know I won't. If all of my ws stuff takes I'll have lots to bring!! :) I'll let y'all know. Thanks! Heather |

| Great, I will pot up 3 so far, I'm going to get a picture of this pussy will and I'll email it to you. Patty, 1000 different perennials sounds wonderful, they will do fine for you, I wintered sown seeds for 3 years and had tons of seeds germinate. Heather, I'm with you, I need to make a list also. Cathy |
|
| Cathy, Put me down for a pussywillow, too, if you have some left. I won't have my trade list for a while either. I did have a thought about those of us that WSed...maybe we could swap HOS clumps. I will try to post a list of what I have WSed soon. ~Gillian |
|
| Great idea, Gillian, on listing what we have wsed. This is my first year wsing. I'm a little nervous about having things come up. I am one zone lower than most of you, so I may be a bit behind you also. I think I have about 35 containers done so far, with more to go as I collect the containers. I'll get that list together also.\ Heather |

| Gillian, I'll save you a pussy willow. I think listing the ws seeds is a good idea, I am also going to list the seeds that I am starting in the greenhouse. Here is what I'll be starting in a couple of weeks. Zinnia Peppermint Stic I also have seeds that I collected from last season Double Clitoria White Vine I'll go through my seed box and see what else is in there and post. Cathy |

| Hi Cathy, I would love to trade you for some Double Clitoria White Vine Yellow Impala Castor Bean I have just about anything you might be looking for if you don't have many I only need a few of each you can look at my list but I have just about everything in my private stock(seed junkie heard) LMK Patty |

| Patty, just email me your snail mail address and I'll send you some. I will also start some in the greenhouse for you in case you have any trouble getting them going. Not really looking for any seeds right at the moment, I still have to go through my seed box. Cathy |
|
| OK, Here is the list of what I have WSed so far. I'm counting on a good year with 100% germination! I will bring WS babies to the swap of the ones that I have more than a handful of sprouts. If you see something that you have particular interest in, let me know and I will put your name on them. Winter Sow 2006 |
|
| Ok, here's my ws list. I'll keep you posted how they are doing. Nothing is sprouting yet. Lavender Scabiosa If any of these interest anyone let me know. I should be ws more and hopefully starting a few things inside as well. I also have some white rainlilies I just got in trade. You can see my seed trade list here, but it's not been recently updated. Most of the things there I still have, even if they are just in my stash for myself. Thanks! |

| Wow, those are great lists. Gillian keep me in mind for a couple of your delphiniums and lupines. I'm going to do annuals and will get a list together as soon as I plant them and they germinate. Cathy |
|
| Hi all! Just wanted to post to say that I am still around and still very excited about the swap! I also have a TON of seeds that I am WSing right now. Way to many to list! Fingers crossed, if all goes well they will make a debut at the swap. My list right now is sparse. THese are things that I know I have for sure because I have so many of, for the most part. These things will probably come along to the swap also. Here is a few things I am WSing: Phloxs, Hibiscus', Lupine Tutti Frutti, Astrantias, Delphiniums, Celosia, daturas, plenty o' nice Aquilegias, Lychnis', Malvas, Gaillardias.........heck, you name it and it is probably out there. Some of the Phloxs are up and a couple of Dianthus'. How exciting! I'll put in a link to my trade page. I usually update pretty often so it will change with the weather! :) |

| Wonderful Patty, most lupines do bloom the first year. I'm happy to here they are growing for you. I sure hope people still want this swap to go on. Seems that there is not much interest this year. Cathy |
|
| I am still planning to come. I think maybe people are waiting to see what they will have available to trade so they can post a trade list. I was just outside yesterday looking at what was coming up that I could pot up for the swap. Please let me know what I can do to help you out Cathy. I would be happy to come down and spend a day getting stuff ready...I have some hostas I need top drop off to you anyway. ~Gillian |

| DRATS! - the date of the swap is the same as my daughters high school graduation, so I can't make it (again!!). I would love some prearranged swaps, and Janette will be my proxy gal to make and pick up deliveries for me (Many THANK-YOU'S Janette - you're a doll!!). The following is also posted on my exchange page; please email me directly for a trade. In the meantime I will peruse what's already been posted and make inquiries myself. Happy Swapping! -Pat AVAILABLE FOR 6/10 WESTERN PA PLANT SWAP - PREARRANGED TRADES ONLY. The following plants are first year seedlings from my greenhouse; most perennials were started jan/feb; most annuals in march. Most plants are from commercial seed (usually Burpee but ask if you want more info) unless otherwise noted. Many of the following are available in very limited quantities, but just ask: - please inquire via email to arrange trade Verbena "Mammoth Mix" Established plants I can pot up are as listed on my exchange page; also can provide cuttings (which I can pot up and begin rooting if requested depending on plant reqmts) |

| Hey Guys! I have all my plants potted up and ready to go, but yesterday, I called the YMCA to sign my kids up for thier next group of swim lessons and guess what day the first class is? June 10th at 12:40. I am going to try to convince my hubby to take them alone, but since we have 2 kids in two different classes, he likes us both to be there to watch them. So what am I going to do with these plants now!!!!! Oh well, I may or may not be there, but if I miss it, I hope you all have fun! |
|
| Hi there. Just wanted to update since I did post that I was interested way back when. My DH bought Dave Matthews concert tickets, which is on Sat. the 10th. For the $ of the tickets there is no way out....lol. I'm sure it will be fun but I really wanted to come to the swap----I would've been able to drive Patty as well. I hope you find a ride, Patty. I will keep an eye out for a post if you decide to reshedule for later. I would LOVE to be there. If it is still a go---Have a wonderful time all! I hope you all get some really great plants and meet wonderful people! Dawn |
