Just got back from weeding an elderly friend of my mother's house. HOLY MOLY were their a lot of weeds. Thank goodness I had my daughter to help. Made things go twice as fast. She's only 9 and weeds like a pro, lol. I'm just so proud of her!

Another rainy evening in store. Anyone have any weekend plans?

Talk to you later...

Please get in touch with your prospective swappers for addy's.

Mail by August 26th, and post your DC here when you mail.

And, don't forget to post when you receive so we can all enjoy your box with you. ;)

Kathie, I'm sending you an email right now. Gonna take a look at your want page too. Is there anything that's not listed there that your looking for? :) I just may have it, lol.

Talk to you later!
vina

ps. I rec'd this daylily in a trade last year. I was told it was Mardi Gras Parade and it's not. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? It is very prolific in flowering and the plant has more than doubled in size since receiving it. Love it! Would just like to know what it is? :)

It looks a lot like Little Grapette.
Marsha, I still have your address, I think. I will be mailing your box sometime next week. I'll post when it goes out.
Vina, thanks for hosting this one again,
Alana

Thanks Alana!

Looked it up and I came across one called Little Missy. I think that might be it :)

Has everyone contacted their swappers?

Took some pics of the "boys" :) They have doubled in size since we got them.

Have a super night!
vina

Alana: Sent you an email, please get back with me so I can figure out what you else you may be looking for. Do not have any on your want list. Do you want surprises?

Morning Vina, sorry have been having trouble with my email account. Looks like they finally have it straightend out and then right in front of me this morning your email just disappeared! Its not in junk or the deleted file. Would you send me your address again. Thanks, Kathie

Marsha,
I did not get your email; GW email may be problematic again. By all means do surprise me. :]
Alana

Morning all!

Kathie, just re-sent.

I had an amazing find yesterday. Propped up on the wall in my parents old barn were 2 wagon wheels! Awesome! I brought them home immediately. Cleaning them up today. They have a kind of rust color going on, not sure if I like it or if I should paint them? I may go with black if I do. I want to set them in one of my small flowerbeds. Digging...digging...more digging...lol. But, I think it will be worth it. Since its been SO wet here this year all the annuals I planted in the bed are mushy and gone. :( Although, that does give me plenty of wiggle room to move the wheels around where I want them. I'll try to post a pic of them when I get them in the ground. So excited! LOVE Free Yard Art!!! :D

Have a great Thursday!
vina

Alana: Since we are having troubles communicating with email, and since you are zone 7 and I am zone 5a, there are a lot of things that will have to be ruled out. What are your average temperatures there? Looks like it will probably better to do daylilies.

Vina: Thanks for putting this together again.
Hope everyone has a great time. Marsha

Marsha,
Since the swap is for named Hosta's and/or Daylilies and/or Iris's any of those is fine with me; a mixture or all the same genus; anything that works for you. I intend to mix it up for you, unless you would rather I did not, but you will probably get more Daylilies than the other two.
Don't stress over it. I will be happy with whatever you send.
Alana

Getting excited about this swap. Pinkiris, I sent you an email. Happy Friday!!

Alana: Great minds think alike. Yes, I have named daylilies since you like daylilies and some extra named iris and named hostas. Plan to get you box out early next week. I will post here when I mail. Have a great week-end everyone. Marsha

I planned on mailing tomorrow but it has rained all day and I have not .been able to dig. I'll try again after work tomorrow.
Thanks, Alana

Happy Monday!

Did anyone do anything fun over the weekend?

Hubby totally surprised me with staking out an area for a pergola! I have wanted one for years! We're digging the footers this week. SO EXCITED! :)

And, my wagon wheels are in the ground...phew! That's a little tough doing it by yourself, lol.

On a sad note, my son Billy's fish, Licorice, went to fishy heaven :( We buried him in the garden. He was a very cute Black Moore. I think we're headed to the fish store tomorrow...just to browse,lol.

Kathie, I'm digging today and your box is going out in the morning. :) I tried the 'variety' approach, lol. Hope you likey :) I'll post dc when I mail.

Have a great day everyone!
vina

Alana: Just a heads up to let you know I sent your medium flat rate box today, tracking number 9114901075742516486945. Let me know when you receive it. Have to run. Leaving for work. Have fun everyone. Marsha

a new one of my fav's Blue Eyed Susan

Digging my daylilies and having a hard time seperating the tubers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Evening!

Suzanne, what works best for me may sound a little weird, but, I use the hose. I'll dig a small clump and take it over to the hose and let the water separate the dirt. Usually, the fans separate themselves. Easy peasy :) Hope this helps.

The garden gnomes are still busy on the GW and Alana is still having difficulties, but, she emailed me to let Marsha know that she rec'd her box today. She'll post the contents later when she's able to get on. :)

Hi Everyone! As I was heading out this morning to start digging plants and thinking to myself I still have to find a box. Suprise, sitting right outside the back door was Vina's box! Wow ! what a nice suprise. I don't have a lot of iris and I have to say when last years plants I received from this swap flowered this year I was very happily suprised as to how pretty the iris were. Vina sent me quite a few iris and I shall have to look them up to see if I can find pics. She also sent along a couple hosta that I don't have and several daylilies I don't have. What a great box thanks Vina. I used your box and sent it back to you today! Kathie

Evening Everyone!
