| Barkingdogwoods, I believe I have some St. John's Wort left, but if not, I definitely have a large Tansy. You are more than welcome to browse for something else on Saturday too. Thanks.

| sylvia - I have some red dragon sedum and one that looks like Sedum reflexum - this one was a volunteer out of the red dragon, so I am not 100% positive of the type. Interested? |

| If you haven't already done so - don't forget to go to the head count thread and let me know you are coming so we can plan for food/drinks. Debbiedo - are your neighbors bringing plants? |
|
- Posted by fairysoapgirl 7b (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 08 at 17:41
| sylvia, the huge brilliant purple ruffled thing sounds like it is more than enough for a trade of the sedums and the water iris! |
|
- Posted by fairysoapgirl 7b (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 08 at 20:51
| Ok, just went ponding... have a ton of water iris if anyone else wants... and I dug some water umbrella plant... whew... have about 4 chunks of those. LMK!! |

|
| Barefoot, I spoke to Lisa my other next door neighbor & she, her freind & her DIL are bringing plants with them. I don't know what they are - she's supposed to be checking in here with her list. Donna is bringing plants too. Still not sure if my grands -Melody, Brianna & Jay will be able to make it as they seem to have plans for that day. You haven't made any requests from me. Is there anything your looking for? Debbie |
|
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 08 at 23:05
| Dannab1 - I will pot up the short mexican petunias for you, in exchange for tadpoles, THANKS! Sylvia, I'd LOVE a fruiting mulberry seedling (do those need 2 to fruit? If so, would you have do for me??). I've got some ghost plant and some succulents in my greenhouse that I'll grab for you if you'd like them... the others are already in Quitman so would have to wait for another week. THANKS! |
|
| ADVICE-- they just delivered a huge storage building and uprooted quite a few of my huge purple iris.....I want to just bring them to the swap because they weren't in a great area anyway. Will the survive if I bring them bare rooted in a box?? |

| Hi Darlene - I meant to tell you that either the St. John's wort or the tansy are fine with me, whichever you have. Had a scare today - the Avalanche narcissus was hiding from me (again!) - I moved everything and found it - WHEW Question for those getting water plants - are you bringing containers of water? The small ones I have will be in baggies (duck weed, water lettuce, water hyacinth starts) -but the others will be in communal buckets till you take them out. I can bring newspaper and plastic bags if that's okay... Lin (and Kinky) |
|

| ELEMENT321 - I have a nice pot of black eyed susan left, you want? Carla - can we trade water iris for baby oregeno? |
|
| Carla, I would like a cutting from your Yesterday, today & tomorrow & the basket or octopus plant. I don't have you down for a name tag - do you want one? |
|
| Brenda, do I have anything that would interest you, in exchange for lunch? Thanks! (Here is my Have list, so you don't have to hunt it down!!) ~Shea Butter Footbalm w/tea tree and spearmint (5), trade value 3.95 ~Goat's Milk Lotion with Shea Butter (11)--lightly scented w/ Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, trade value 9.95 ~Goat's Milk Soap with Shea Butter: Cucumber Melon (7), Lovespell (2), Ruby Red Grapefruit (4), Energy (11), Nanny Oats w/ground oatmeal (20), and unscented Goat's Milk & Honey (7), trade value 3.95 each ~Whipped Shea Butter with Aloe Vera Oil (5), trade value 5.95 ~Gardener's Hand Scrub (sugar scrub w/ shea butter and finely ground pumice), trade value 6.95 These are all professionally packaged, suitable for gift giving. ;) I also have plenty of goat "berries"--mixed with hay--sorry, I'm not picking them out. =) And I have free-range eggs too, if anybody's interested. I sell them for 2.50 a dozen... |
|
- Posted by sylviatexas z8a Tx (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 08 at 13:49
| to clarify just in case it's needed: April's posting the "trade value" is to facilitate a value-for-value trade & to prevent misunderstandings & maybe hurt feelings. Had she not posted, we'd have had no way to know that the shea butter with aloe vera oil is worth twice as much as the lip balm but half as much as the goat milk lotion,
|
|
| Sylvia, We have 2 fairly large bridal wreath spireas with double flowers. I think one of them has an offshoot we should be able to dig up for you. Would you like cuttings too? Dorothy |
|
| Darlene: yes on the basket plant and bird of paradise, do you still have swiss cheese (is it an ivy, like pothos?), or agastache "red fortune", or money plant? Debbie Smith: yes I want a tag if its not to late for you, for the Yesterday, today, tomorrow and basket plant how about 1 string of pearls and MG Grandpa Otts? fairysoapgirl: yes on the yellow water iris for oregano plant. Carla |
|
| Thanks Sylvia! I just wanted to make sure no-one felt cheated!! |

- Posted by dcarpenter z7 DFW/TX (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 08 at 17:34
| Toadlily, I can bring you a cutting of the Swiss Cheese plant and a money plant. The Swiss Cheese plant stayed in the greenhouse all winter and is just now sprouting. The agastache hasn't come up yet. Thanks. Debbiedo7, my friend Maria can't make the swap, so it will just be my son and I. Thanks. Darlene |
|
| Toadlily, I have you down for a couple of volcano plants, I would love a crinum or some purple oxalis if you have any left if not just enjoy the volcanos!! Sylvia--thanks, I had completely forgot about your backhoe iris, I think I have one blooming as we speak!! Lin--I don't know what I was thinking.....my tadpoles at school aren't doing well do you have any small oxygenating plants I could put in the water to keep it fresher?? Let me know if you want anything else on my list! |

| Hi dannab1 - I have some oxygenators that I'll bring in ziplock baggies. If you have any extra red salvia or volcano plants that would be great! Hi seamommy - I am sorry that I couldn't find a pot of Spanish bluebells for you - I found a few small bulbs that I stuck in a pot with a few Thalia narcissus as a consolation prize :) Lin (barkingdogwoods) Lin |

| dorothy, yes, if the offset isn't too hard to get, I'd love that; I haven't had luck with spirea cuttings! |
|
| Is the volcano plant the phlox? If so, and you have any left, I would love to trade for one. |
|
| Fairysoapgirl--bless you! I would love some purple oxalis, anything I can get you?? Everytime I move my pink and white ones they totally lose their leaves but come back nice and healthy shortly. Hopefully next year I will have enough white to share. Carrie751 I put a link below of the volcano plant, its a salvia my blooms are just whiter than this variety. I would be glad to bring you one if you want it! |
Here is a link that might be useful: volcano plant-mine has white blooms

| Lin, thanks for the Kerria and Tropicanna, we will bring you both vines. Brenda, I just realized that there will be more than just me at the swap (from my family). What else can I trade you for their lunches? More water plants? I can bring you an assortment. Also I have rooted a green and white variegated small-leafed english ivy that is adorable and stays out all year. I can bring it plus some more cuttings from the same plant. Sally |
|
| barefoot--what would you like for food? element--I think that I have some black eyed susans (I thought they were yellow, but these are white--you can tell I just started). Do you want some? sylvia--I have hostas if you still want some toadlily--the bird of paradise isn't the tropical one is it? if not, do you have a spare cutting? I have somewhat of a list posted where other people have posted what they're bringing. I don't have a whole lot (and certainly not many big items). I think that I need to add daylilies to that list. I'm looking for: anything else is a bonus |

| Carrie, I do still have plenty of polonasia(clammy weed). The seedlings are several inches tall. Pretty small but they are fast growing. Toadlily, I will bring you Polonasia, lizard tail and dollar bonnet, Again I am not exactly sure thats the name of it. I am glad that there are people interested in the polonasia. Although the plant smells yucky if you brush by it, it is a favorite of swallowtail butterflies and the snowberries(clear wing hummingbird moths.) Hope |

| Tina, I may be interested in some of your books. I have some cocoa peat that many people use instead of peat if you are interested. |

| Hi - If anyone has some columbine they can part with... I would love to have it. Debbie has some, that I really want! It is gourgeous!!! Thanks - tina_2 |
|
| Alley, I would like somre of your chinese lanterns, torch lily I can trade you Stella D'Orro daylilies & maybe cuttings from my round leaf lambs ear. Let me know, |
|
| Debbie--How do lamb's ear do in the shade? I don't really need one, but my brother in law is looking for shade plants. I could trade for that. Alison |
|
| Alley, I could use a Torch Lily - what would you like in exchange? |
|
| This looks so similar to Lyre Leaf Sage ---- are they related and is it somewhat invasive??? |
|
| Allison, I had Lamb's Ear in full shade at my old house. It did great. I actually prefer it in the shade garden because it took over my Sun garden. (Not as invasive in the shade.) HTH, |
|
- Posted by fairysoapgirl 7b (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 08 at 12:03
| Toadlilly - do you have any water parsley left? Is it varigated? Do you want to trade for anything? I have water umbrella plant or a ton more water iris, sedums, black eyed susan, creeping thyme and winecup?? |
|
| Necia, do you still have Lamb's ear? |
|
| Alley: the Bird of Paradise is not the houseplant, is hardy, it looks tropical:), its a 5' to 20' sparse tree that blooms crazy orange and yellow blooms on top of mimosa style leaves. Probably kin to a mimosa. Has pea like seed pods. If your interested in cuttings-how about a trade of desert willow (which looks alot like my bird of paradise growth wise), OR butterfly bush, OR balloon flower? (Notice the 'ors' whatever you have)-akas: Pride of Barbados, Red Bird of Paradise, Dwarf Poinciana, Peacock Flower, flamboyan-de-jardin Caesalpinia pulcherrima; pic at: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2247/ fairysoapgirl: my parsley is var-white/green/pink tinge-want some for a winecup? (I love winecup and mine died:) Carla |

| alley and planopondnut - I'm not picky and I promise no one will go hungry. Water plants would be great and alley if you have enough black eyed susan (only white) that would be good. dannab - do you have me down for volcano plant? Also, just found out my sister in law, brother, neice and her two kids will be coming from Oklahoma. They are not bringing many if any plants but are bringing cookies - brownies. They are not expecting to take home a bunch of free plants just want to attend to see how it's done, and if anyone has something to share thats okay but if not that's okay too. |
|
- Posted by barefoot_in_texas Texas Z8 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 08 at 13:53
| Debbiedo - is it to late to add three name tags - if not the names are Linda, Heather and James. |
|
| Carrie, No, I didn't bring any with me. I was so tired of having to tear it out of the flowerbeds that I never wanted to see it again! I had tons of beds at the old house, but only 2 here, so there wouldn't be room for it, anyway. Necia |

| Hi Carla, Do you still have the taro elephant ears? If so that would be fine. Hope |
|
| Hope/catlunic: yes I have taro! Thank you-Carla |
|
| Brenda-- I have you down for volcano plants, tadpoles, bee balm and I would be glad to bring your family anything they would like off my list if you let me know. I can easily get bee balm, volcano plant, purple iris, reseeding native red salvia and tadpoles!! Carrie-- |
|
| Sylvia-- dug up a few evergreen little sprouts of some type to bring this weekend --wisteria sounds great. Pines to come later. HAVE coral honeysuckle-- I think I forgot to put it on my list, I will go dig from the woods if anybody wants any. Since it seems to raining endlessly here it should be easy to uproot but I may need to borrow the neighbors rowboat!! |

| Hi - I just found several rooted starts of red oleander. If anyone is interested. Let me know. Thanks - tina_2 |
|
| You guys are so smart. I don't know the names of many of my plants. I am bringing several plants but I had no idea you guys were exchanging sooo many plants. When Debbie said you guys had lots of plants I had no idea. I think I only have 7 or 8 plant to trade. A friend of mine recently passes away and she had sooo many plants I was going to bring but by the time I got to her house some had died and many were taken. I will try to get the house trees to bring. Those are doing well and are available. I guess my plants will be a surprise sine I don't know what they are called. |
|
| I could step out my front door and ask Debbie next door but I am too lazy. I am so jealous of her beautiful yard. Anyway, Just in case I can't follow her Saturday, what is the address of the Fort Worth Swap? |

| Hi, While potting up things for the swap today, I found a small sweet autumn clematis, and a start from a cross vine. I potted them up, is anyone interested? Hope |
|
- Posted by weenerdogg Zone 8a (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 08 at 22:30
| Fairysoapgirl, Would you be interested in some more alyssum for some purple oxalis or maybe some stonecrop sedum? Thanks! |
|
| Catlunatic - I've been searching for sweet autumn clematis - I'd love to make a trade - what do you need? Thanks! Dorothy B. |
|
| dannab, if any volcano salvia are left, I am interested. I will have roses, beard tongue, spider wart, white iris, coreopsis Weldon |
|
- Posted by catlunatic z8a TX (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 0:29
| Hi Dorothy B. I have you down for the sweet autumn clematis. Without scanning thru some 500 posts could you highlight your trade list. Truth be told I don't NEED anything. But that has NEVER stopped me from taking something. Hope |
|
- Posted by fairysoapgirl 7b (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 0:40
| Jenn - Sure... I can always use more alyssum!! You got it. Were you asking for Sedum or wanting to give it to me? I have one Red Dragon left... |
|
- Posted by fairysoapgirl 7b (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 0:50
| Weldon - what kind of coreopsis do you have? What type/color is your spiderwort and beard tongue? What are you looking for?? |
|
| Sylvia, What is a orchid-blooming obedient plant? You got my ears perked up with that one. I'd like one if you have enough. Thanks, Debbie |
|
| Hi everyone, My sister and I will be able to make it to the swap. I know it's kinda late, but wasn't sure cause the kids were sick with pneumonia. They are doing fine now so I'm potting up plants. Here is what I have: Not sure what everyone has left so I will list my wish list: Thanks. Kay |
|
| WELCOME---- kay75052---- GLAD YOU CAN COME I would like to trade for the 2 dwarf peach tree seedlings. (as I believe that you have to have 2 to produce fruit.) I have some Stella D'Orro daylilies & will be bringing other stuff to the trade that you can look through. Thanks, |
|
- Posted by weenerdogg Zone 8a (My Page) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 5:51

| Lisa, just take I-30 west past downtown Ft Worth & exit onto University. The University exit is a little odd in that it's a U-turn. You take the exit & it takes you around 180 degrees so that you find yourself facing east at a traffic light. Turn left, then almost immediately turn right into the park. Follow the little trail or lane around til you see a bunch of nutty people with plants all over the place! (& I'm making signs this year, will place them starting at the park entrance). Deb, I didn't word that well; it's just an obedient plant whose flowers are orchid in color. |
|
| Kay how about a yesterday, today, tomorrow for wh rose? Is it thornless? Bush, climber, sprawler? Carla |
|
| Hello, Kay, I am interested in the perilla if it is the Perilla Magilla --- is it? I would like two if you have them and have a number of things for trade. Let me know. |
|
| I'm so bummed!!! I won't be able to attend the Ft Worth Swap this year. My DD has scheduled her wedding gown fitting with the seamstress for this Sat morning. I can't miss that! I do plan to take the few plants I have to pass along to the Denton Swap on the 26 of April so hopefully I see a lot of you there! |

| Hi - I was wondering if anyone has a columbine, herbs, flowering plants to share! I have : purple iris. pink oxalis. nite blooming cereus / huge white flowers. loofah vine - the one that makes the bath scrubbies, makes large yellow flowers. fragrant, mock orange cuttings. snow queen hibiscus cuttings- tri color leaf ( pink,cream and green) with red flowers, very easy to root in a cup of water. Let me know. Thanks - tina_2 |

| I am looking for a post by someone named 'fortunegardener' who said that they had a pink brug cutting. I wanted to send an e-mail but for the life of me I can't find the post. Is that person still coming? Do you still have the pink brug and can I trade you anything for it? If not, Does anyone have a pink brug? I would love to have one and if I don't have any plants you want to trade for it, I may be compelled to wash and wax your car for it. Cheryl |

| I potted up 5 dame's rockets and a May Night salvia yesterday, if anybody's interested! April |

| April - i would be interested in dame's rocket and may night salvia. |
|
- Posted by mikeandbarb z8 D/FW (jetman1979@aol.com) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 16:55
| April I'd some Dame's Rocket and may night too. I have other salvia's, sedum tall 8 inches makes a really nice mound takes sun to part sun, red canna, columbine to name a few thing to trade and other items I'm bring for trading. |
|
| I potted up some of my black eye susan and they don't look that great at the moment. I'll bring them and see if they make it. If they look too puny, perhaps I'll have something else to trade (barefoot and element) I guess my email wasn't working very well, so here is my list as I have it at the moment: Planopondnut-daylilies (for fall aster) fairysoapgirl-hosta (for coreposis) element--black eyed susan (I think) for rose if you have one left. debbiedo7--chinese lanterns, torch lily and hostas (for tag and something else that I don't remember at the moment--I need to stick to one list :) toadlily--shasta and/or lanterns (don't remember what I said in my email) for bird of paradise cutting. tina--canna and medalian for brug (and I emailed you about the mock orange) mommyfox--balloon flower for lantana (my gingers aren't looking good, so I'm holding off on them until possibly the fall) mikeandbarb-desert willow for salvia (just some small seedlings at this point). sylvia--hostas for blue mist (I thought I read you didn't get them rooted--that's ok if you don't have them) and la iris dirtmamma--rock rose for turks cap seamommy--cleomes (they are white I believe) for brug (I don't care about color) carrie--torch lily for ?? barefoot--black eyed susan (or something else if they get too puny) for food. I hope I have it all straight. alley (alison) |

| Dirtmomma I will bring you amaryllis. I'm sure I'll find something I would love that you have. If not they need to be thinned out anyway. I'm so confused at this point I think I'll just bring extras and hope to find extra's to trade. I know I won't be disappointed. Maureen |
|
- Posted by mikeandbarb z8 D/FW (jetman1979@aol.com) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 21:00
| Maureen I know the feeling. I'm tired and worked more than I should Ouch and I'm not done sorting everything out in boxes. Hoping to get that done tonight. I have done the same, dug up extras just in case I see something I'd like and hope to have something in exchange. Found a clay window type pot long and narrow, good for sedum's or cactus. |
|
- Posted by mikeandbarb z8 D/FW (jetman1979@aol.com) on Thu, Apr 10, 08 at 21:26
| April, If I have something you'd like to trade I would like to try your Gardener's Hand Scrub (sugar scrub w/ shea butter and finely ground pumice), trade value 6.95 Barb |
|
| Alley, thanks for reminding me about the brugs. Darlene, my apologies, I said Debbie for the beard tongue, meaning you. Cheryl, I'll just look at what you have at the swap. Bringing Killer Caker, spicy crackers and cheese for everyone==as far as it goes. Weldon |
|
| debbiedo-this type doesn't require two to produce fruit. I orginallly just bought one and it did just fine fruiting. It took awhile though. I just love the deep burgundy leaves and the beautiful flower show it produces at the beginning of spring. I really don't eat the fruit b/c its very small. If you still want both of them, I will put you down for them. I already have some stellas, so will just have to check with you at the swap. Carrie - I don't believe it's perilla magilla. I just love the deep purple and green colors on it. I also use it as an herb. It's great for salads, springrolls and curing a common cold. The scent is very strong so it does help to keep away some bugs. If you are still interested I will bring you some. Barb - I would like to have one of your texas gold columbine for the purple leaf perilla. Carla - the white rose is more like a sprawler, it will only get about one feet tall and semithornless. I would love to have cutting of your yesterday, today,tomorrow plant. Darlene - I'm interested in your cannas. PLMK if there is anything you would like from my trade list or my table at the swap.

| Hi Weldon - I'd love a pink coral vine, I have no idea what of mine you'd like but I'll bring whatever I have and maybe you can "browse". I could probably find a Kerria Japonica (japanese rose) or cuttings from a dark pink seven sisters rose (almost red). Please let me know - THANKS! Lin (barkingdogwoods) |

| This is what I have confirmed for trades. If I am missing something let me know. I am real scatted brained right now. I MUST be emailed for me to respond to you early enough for me to get this sorted out. toadlilly :mixed colors - lil red bud, and Rose of Sharon double purple cuttings. For 2 or 3 varigated litrope. Clematis - any type but looking for parkseed's radar love I have |
|
| Attention Debbiedo, Weldon, Planopondnut, Barkingdogwoods and dcarpenter.... I just found out that what I thought was Persian Shield is actually Perilla frutescens. The original seed that I started with was labeled incorrectly. I am sooooo sorry! Now I am feeling even more stressed about the swap!!! First, I am worried that my seedlings are too small and now this. Ugh! I will competely understand if you don't need/want the perilla and it won't hurt my feelings one bit! I just want everyone to me happy! Again, my apologies. Necia |
|
| Ack, crap - I just noticed that some of my seedlings have aphids. Anyone know a good way to get rid of them quickly so I don't bring aphids to the swap??? |
|
| Cheryl, mix 1/3 cup Murphy's oil soap and one tblsp soda to a gallon of water and spray them. It make take a couple of sprayings. This is recommended for spider mites, but works on aphids, also. |
|

| Hi Necia - I had persian shield one year and it didn't do well for me. Waaayyy too finicky of a plant for me. You got me wondering.... So, I looked up the plant that you have. Actually it sounds a lot easier , than the p. shield. Here is a pic. if anyone's interested in it. It is a lovely plant and for full sun, can't beat that! By the way - If you have enough , can you bring me a few? I, just love the striking color of them! I will have several xtra plants at the swap and you can browse- pick something you like. Okay? Let me know. Thank you. tina_2  |

I've given *vivid orange* next to burgundy chance after chance to look better, & it just don't work. + I thinned the canna indica Indian shot (coral flowers, attractive to hummingbirds),so I have *boxes* of that as well as green-leaved Wyoming (7'tall orange), lemon yellow Conestoga, & then another box of Kwanzo daylilies. I'll look at any trade at all; Make me an offer. (what a rush it is to talk like Donald Trump!)

| I am a pretty new gardener and all my cuttings failed... the only thing I really have to offer is a few "Moon & Stars" watermelon seeds. Should I even bother coming to the swap? |
|

My tradelist is listed under yesterday's posts. Let me know if you see anything you like. Kay, I have plenty of cannas. Just drop by my table. Necia, don't worry about it. I would be happy to share my plants with you anyway. I've already got them packed and ready to go. Thanks! Darlene |
|
- Posted by rebeccaindfw 8 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 11, 08 at 13:51
| Thank you, tina_2! I have been so bummed out that I don't really have anything to offer. |
|
| Speak now or forever hold your peace!=) (I'll be gathering it up around 6:00 tonight!) April |
|
| Sylvia, I would take some more kwanzo's....I will be bringing lots of nursery pots you are welcome to. I also found a ice plant in the greenhouse (we always called them fire and ice) succulent leaves with tiny hot pinkish red blooms. Would you like a pot of it?? rebeccaindfw- I sent you an email....come see me at the swap! |
|
| April -- I missed that you had Dame's rocket! I would love some if you still have any. Here is what I have left: coral honeysuckle volcano salvia red bee balm native red salvia (hummers love it!) purple iris |

| Ooooh, Necia, Perilla - that's even better than Persian Shield - something that's not in the garden centers. SCORE!!! That sounds (and looks) like something I'd really like, so I'm all for this trade. I looked it up, and one of the web sites said, "Rub leaves on your skin and clothes on hikes to repel ticks." I can use that in my 15 acres of woods!! Lin |
|

Feel free to call if you get lost or can't find us once you get to the park. See y'all tomorrow. Come hungry. |

| Kay, I put you down for some Texas gold columbine Boy, y'all have been busy LOL....I'm tired after all the work I did today and still have to load up my truck. The best I can hope for is that I've kept everyone straight with who get's what. I have a list so I should be ok and those that are getting more then 2 plants have their own boxes. See y'all tomorrow |
|
| Hi Erin I'll take some of your worms. Check my table for what you want tomorrow. Debbie |
|
| Thank you, Everyone, for your kind words! I was just a little stressed out earlier. I have all of my plants labeled and boxed up into April's car. Now, it's time for a little Kahulua and Cream! Tina, I put you down for the last Perilla! Erin, so glad that you can come! I think that a bag of worms would be really cool. Maybe you can do a little, tiny talk about how to raise them.....! Like Debbie said, just check at my table tomorrow to find something for trade. Rebecca, thanks for posting your phone number. April and I will be leaving at 8:00 in the morning (right after I stop and buy the donuts! We can never take a road trip without donuts!) Hopefully we won't have any trouble finding our way. Will there be bathrooms at the park? See you all soon! |

| Dannab1, I have a few coral vine seeds if you want to try them. I don't know anything about getting them to germinate, I haven't tried them yet. Let me know Hope |
|
| Hope, I will try the seeds! We had the vine in Austin and it seems like babies came up around it that weren't attached. CASTINGS--Not sure if anyone will see this but a friend gave me a quart ziploc bag of fresh earthworm castings with lots of eggs. If you are interested in a trade she would like something that attracts butterflies or hummers. |

| danna, believe me, I have enough Kwanzos to go around! Tina, I have bunches of coral Indicas (April is taking some, & there are still about a million!) Rebecca, come on out!

| Hi Erin - glad you're coming! I would love some worms, but I really don't know if I have anything (not already spoken for) that you'd want. Maybe you can stroll down to my table - I'll be the frazzled one with the big dog - and look through my "mis-count" stash! Lin |
