| Who's a'comin'??
We'd like an estimate so we can plan how much food, etc, to bring, & also to give some of our new members an idea of how much stirring around there's likely to be. Can you make it? Chime in here! |

| Please Note that I now have passion vine couldn't wait and bought some about two weeks ago LOL But I'm still up for the surprises = ) Anyone looking for old organic gardening books in trade for plants? |

| Sylvia, I am going to try to make it. I think my husband is occupied that day, so I can get away (haha). I have lots of WS babies. I can bring pasta salad and sodas/cups/ice. I'm looking for low maintenance, idiot proof bush roses that I can mix in with my borders, monkey grass and anything else (I'm easy!) By the way, Sylvia, the paprika yarrow you swapped with me at the iris tour/swap is blooming its little head off!! I just finished getting everything planted that I got from that swap! I look forward to seeing you again, seeing Weldon again for the first time since the January 05 Starbucks get-together, and meeting the others. I may have a couple of mystery hosta for Weldon, but if I do, they will be run of the mill types. Maybe he'll see this and let me know. I grew them from seed last year from a seed swap, so it will be a surprise! I have't checked to see if they have emerged yet. Can you post directions for those of us who aren't familiar with the FW area? Thanks, Lea |

| Glad the yarrow is blooming, Lea! I think I have monkey grass somewhere, I know I have one pot of variegated, about 5 or 6 or 7 little teeny ones in one pot. Maybe Venessa or Weldon will have roses for you to swap: |

| Well, count me out. My husband just announced that his nephew and "some buddies" were coming in at 10:30 tonight. I have no idea how many buddies are "some buddies", but 23 year olds usually travel in packs, don't they? Sorry everyone. I guess its the Supreme One telling me I don't need more plants(haha). I'll miss seeing all of you. Lea |

| What's'a matta with you, Lea??? Bring 'em with you: We can always use some more male muscle! Tina-if you have extra daylilies, I can take some to Bobbie. She's sending a lot of irises that have lost their tags (but they're still very nice varieties & very nice plants), & some society garlic. |

| Hi all, FYI - I dug up some more black blue salvia for those wanting to trade. They will be in a little shock digging them up so soon before the swap. |
|
| OK, I'm in!! I'm very excited. If it rains I'm still committed, because we are driving in from Abilene. Let me know what you want, so I can set it aside for you. My wish list has been updated. |
|
| Ok I've put the things in the truck so I will be ready to go. I have a few errands to run before going to the swap so have to make things as simple as possible :O) I'm still looking for more rose cuttings also would love to get my hands on some cuttings of confederate rose and the striped red and white crepe murtle. If you want to trade for any of the roses that I listed (can't remember which thread I listed them on) please email me tonight so I can make sure they get to the swap. See everyone tomorrow. |
