    If you were planning on bringing bottled water and haven't already bought some... PLEASE DON'T!!

    I have 2 coolers full of small bottled waters iced down.
    I bought them for hubby's office (they were moving today) and then was told to not bring them.

    They are already loaded up and I will bring them to the swap.
    I should arrive around 11:30
    Carrie is going to bring a cooler with ice in it ahead of me since I can't get there as early as you others.

    So I just joined the forum today because I had a few questions, and I find you're all getting together about five minutes from me. As it is such short notice I don't have much to bring, but maybe I can interest someone in a few red cherry tomato seedlings (I filled a bed yesterday and have two pots, of five seedlings each, left over) in exchange for an artemisia Powys Castle and some mint. Would that be okay?

    I also posted this on the original Swap thread.

  • melvalena
    15 years ago

    yes london_gardener,

    You can come but only if you take some of my cannas and rooted brug cuttings.
    :)

    You nailed it, Mel ---ONLY if she takes at least one plant from everyone.....

  • london_gardener
    15 years ago

    Sounds like a deal I'll bring chocolate too. And um.. some irises maybe?

    Chris, I'm not sure if they're having the denton swap this spring.

    I haven't seen or heard anything .. plan on doing the Ft Worth Swap instead.

    I just came from the one held at Calloway's Lewsiville. Quite a nice turn out and I got to visit with people I haven't seen since last year's swap.
