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:
They root the wonderful old-fashioned garden roses.
