So far there has only been about 6-7 people aontacting me. I would love to see this happen. I know there are alot more than 7 members in the West Tn area.
Maybe this can happen yet.

Great! It would be wonderful to have a West TN Swap.

Holler at me if you need any "what-not-to-do" advise, I'm the Grandaddy of that and have plenty of experience in that area.

Maybe if we set it up, they will come? We will need to do it soon or it will be to cold. I will contact my peoples.lol! I am sure others are reading this too.

We do have in indoor gymnasium, but I really didn't want to have to sweep and mop the deck after we were done...

How late is too late?

Would it be better to plan a spring swap, give us more time to iron out the details, etc?

Count me in - I'd like the chance to meet some local gardeners. Either fall or spring is good with me, though in the spring I will have more to share (seedlings).

Well, my Fall is shot re: swap. I have too much work to do after shopping locally and visiting Tony Avant's over the weekend.
Serious As A Heart Attack: I can So do a Spring Swap.
Atoka Dawn, I mean it. You have my email address. Let's begin to plan. I propose April midmonth, planning around local sales. C'mon Memphis area gardeners. Let's commit. Let's DO IT. I know at least four Midtown gardeners who don't visit Gardenweb but would attend a local Swap. I will happily recruit and report back. We can do this.

leighmac , yes I have your e-mail and will keep you updated.Contact your folks and get back to us.

Our weather is getting unpredictable now. I do not know how safe it is going to be to plant much longer.

I have heard from a few people from Ark that would like to come also, since they are just across the river from us. I have thier e-mail addys. I promised to let them know what is going to happen.

So now we just need to hear from others to see what we will do and when.

Come on folks!!!!!! Lets hear from you!

Okay then... I believe we have reached critical mass (or perhaps it should be better described as "terminal velocity" ;-)

I think now that the weather has turned, most folks are tucking in their loved ones in to bed for the "winter".

So SPRING 2008, Mid-April sounds good to me.

That would give us:

12 APR 2008 as a primary date
19 APR 2008 as a postponement dur to inclement weather date

Mark your calendars.... WE WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

bigorangevol , as we pull this together, all tips and help would be great!

I have my calender marked..I am sending this out to my e-mail listed group.

E-mail me and I will trade phone#s with you so we can play with thoughts. Maybe do a meeting for coffee.

Indeed.

I can set up conference calls

>Maybe do a meeting for coffee.

I work out on the Base in Millington (couldn't guess that by my user name, huh?) so I guess you could call that "close-by". Though I still have not found a cup of coffee worth a damn in this state (possible exception being a starschmucks(tm) quad-espresso.)

I am in Cordova. If I can help, let me know. Talking about plants over coffee is right up my ally!! Can't wait for the swap in April!
Lori

That's the spirit! Both dates look good to me. I'm marking my calendar now. Thanks AD,Sand and all.

I am right close to you. About 14 miles from Millington. But since I am retired.....I am mobile!

Fellow Members: Count me in on spring swap. Will have
lots to swap. Hopefully will find other members that like
water gardening too. Love my brugs too. Fernlady1559@aol.com
