My eyes are rolling up in my head. I had a GREAT time, but for some reason I came home more tired than I think I've EVER been after a swap---maybe because I ate waaaaay too much! Everything was delicious, the plants were wonderful, and the group suberb!

See y'all in the spring!

Rhonda,great swap.As always,had a wonderful time.im really excited with my new plants.The food was wonderful,but the people are are what makes these swaps so great.All of you are the best bunch of people I have ever met.Thank all you for making my new guests feel so welcomed.You guys are great.

I had hopes of attending this plant swap, especially since missing the ETPS, but at the last minute we decided to take a short vacation on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We're in Asheville now. Tomorrow morning we are going to go by the NC Arboretum before getting back on the parkway. Hope its good, although I'm sure it won't be the same as a swap. Hope to make it in the spring.

Great swap! I came home with some plants that I have been wanting and some others that I hadn't even considered before. They all have found a good home. I hope to have more next year to swap. (I took a nap too. :)

Yep. Pretty tired. But I made myself get this done before I crash. Enjoy!!

MTPS Fall Swap 2010

Despite not bringing much with me except tons of seeds & a few gardening supplies, I came home with quite the nice selection! =) I have the first part of my Winter garden, set up in my "sun room" upstairs which includes most of the plants I got from the swap (except for the hardier ones which remain on the deck). =) About 10 trips up & down the stairs, then I passed out for 3 hours! lol...I will probably start the second part of my Winter Garden, the veggies, tomorrow. Thanks everyone for the wonderful plants!

I had a lot of fun today and I was super tired as well. Took a nap and I am still tired! Thanks to everyone for being so generous and sharing with those of us who don't have much to trade. I am amazed every year by how generous everyone is. Thank you! Hopefully next year I will have more to contribute.

Today was the best day !! I always love to see and visit with everyone, but my day was made when I got there and saw that Norm and Barbara were there!!! I love my plant swap friends. I like the lower key fall swaps because I can visit more. I also managed not to take many plants home-probably a first for me--just ask anyone who knows me well. The food was great, I ate way too much!! What else can you ask for on a beautiful fall day ? Thank you Rhonda for securing a beautiful warm spot for us to gather- you're the best! Joe, as always your pictures are fantastic- thank you! See you all in spring !!

It was a good one for sure! Could the weather have been more beautiful? I enjoyed myself so much! I was wore out before the swap. lol My old friends, you really mean so much to me! It is really cool to see the new folks coming on board and catching the fever too. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. The Fall swap being smaller made it possible to get more familiar with the wonderful folks that I am so fond of. I must take the time here to brag on the kids that came to the swap! Have you ever seen such respectful, top notch young gardners? That is a fine reflection on their parents for sure. I need to run now and start personalizing my first garden hat (thank you Marianne). Thanks for coming, one and all and I will be looking for you in the Spring! Rhonda

Thanks so much for the pictures, as always so Great! Looking forward to Spring Swap.

Wanda and Bob

I am exhausted!! Right after the swap - I came home to pack for a trip to DC - leaving Sunday morning. LOL - I ended up DRIVING to DC, turned into a 12 hour trip and came back Friday. I am finally getting to really check out my latest aquisitions - and all I can say is WOW!!

I started planting this morning and still have lots more to plant. I can home with far more than I planned on - Miss Grace just had to have some plants for her little garden. But I am excited! My winter herb garden is beyond wonderful - thanks Heather!! And I will be watching my brugs all winter in anticipation of spring...

See you all in the spring!!
