| Who did I get all the bromeliads from at the fall trade? I owe you big time. They are doing great!! What can I bring you this year? I'll get my list together over the next month or so, probably after Mardi Gras, but if you are looking for anything in particular let me know. I've got tons of tropicals, water plants, etc. Tally HO! |

| I was wondering if this swap is just for those living in Galveston or if others are allowed to attend? This would be my first spring in TX and I would love to get to know some fellow gardeners! Kim |
|
| This swap is opened to any and everyone. It doesn't matter where you live. Our swappers come from all over. It is not only tons of fun but you really will meet a lot of wonderful gardeners. You just won't believe all the different plants that will be there. We sure hope you can make it. This is one swap you won't want to miss. Be sure and check out our swap web page. We should have all the pictures uploaded, this week, from our last swap. margie |

| Thanks for the info. Sounds like fun! Since this is my first growing season here I'm not sure what I can offer, but I will do my best to have some things ready. Thanks again, Kim |
|
| How exciting! I'm very glad to learn of the swap. Question: Is the Spring 06 haves-and-wants available? When I go to the website and click on the Spring06 link, it takes me to the Fall05 page instead. |
|
| We haven't updated our haves and want list yet. We will be doing that very soon. Please if you have any haves or wants let us know and we will be happy to add it to our web page. |
|
| I will be giving away a bunch of plastic pots. If you are interested, please let me know. Barbie |

| Is anyone from southwest Houston going to this swap? I would like to send something with you to give to someone there. I live near the intersection of Chimney Rock and W. Bellfort. I'd be willing to meet you somewhere nearby, either that day or prior to the swap. E-mail me directly, please. |
|
| First thing is I made a spelling error on my list. It is not Green Eye Rubbecka but Green Eye Rudbeckia. Second if anyone wants to send me or Mary Ellen your list along with your email we will be happy to post it on our have/want list on our web site. Please be sure and check out this web site as a lot of swappers, who are not members of GW, are starting to turn in their list to be put on our web site. This is really going to be a fantastic swap with a lot of hard to find plants. See y'all there. margie |

| The swap is only a couple of weeks away! I hope everyone is getting as excited as I am! The weather is cooperating and most of my plants are growing a foot taller every day! I hope everyone who is coming to the swap will stay a little longer this time because we have a fun swap in store for you. In addition to our free barbeque lunch with hot dogs and hamburgers made to order by our barbeque chef "Dubba B" Billy, we are having fantastic door prizes, a freebie table of discarded gardening items, a 50/50 raffle, and a silent auction with some awesome gardening stuff that you won't want to mis out on bidding for! There will also be plenty of Master Gardeners on hand to answer any questions you might have. We had several late-comers last time who didn't get a chance to trade very many of their plants or get very many plants because most everyone left early, so we are hoping swappers will stay longer to reap all of the fun that we have planned for you! Hoping to see all of you again this time! Come, relax and enjoy! Mary Ellen Margie, Judy Solveig Kris |

| Be sure and check out my list of plants to see if there is anything on it you will like me to bring. Several of the plants will need to be dug up and I won't be bringing extras unless someone wants some. We are going to really have a blast at this swap. We have gathered some really nice door prizes and items for the silent auction. Lots of plants, lots of swappers, lots of food, and LOTS OF FUN! |

I never received your list and sent other emails asking if you wanted me to bring you the blue barrel or do you want to come by and get it.Try to email me again and if it doesn't work just contact me through GW. Remember a couple of months ago I changed my email to mjenke@verizon.net If this doesn't work just give me a call if you still have my number. margie |
