I'll definitley go for that, but he IS coming home with me if I win!!!

Carrie, I already gave you one garden helper.

She looks stronger too.

Thatg didn't work out, Carol Ann --- gotta have the mulch guy>

Here: trade you a bump for an absentee ballot on the door prize

=)

Oh Carrie Berry, I wish I could help you out but ...I don't want to. BWhaaaaa
He's such good help in the garden.

Susan, you need to come to the swap. You could catch a ride with Goober Girl.

I might even let you fill out three ballots!!!!

Huh? How could she catch a ride with you, you're north and already there

Susan, can you go?

Oh Jolana, you can't pretend not to be our Goober Girl.

Maybe she's holding out for the mulch guy!!!

I say we give her the mulch guy if she comes.

Hehehe, it's worth a try. I would give her a special plant

Yeah! I'll grab him and run.... then again he might be stronger n me....PJ

I want Susan to come to the swap, but she can't have the mulch guy unless she wins him fair and square !!!!

I'm pretty sure I can be there. I'll be bringing some seedlings, flowers, herbs, veggies. I need to see what else can be dug up. My beds are just going into their 3rd summer and not ready for dividing yet. I have some volunteers I should be able to dig up too.
Any suggestions for food? Who's bringing what so far?
I would like some pink daylillys, salvia, brugs, evergreen passion vine for the catapillars and ????????

Hey, Bev, that is good news, it will be so good to see you again. I'll let Carol Ann answer about the food, but the one I went to last Fall was just a pot luck, and there was a lot of food. Email me about the brugs.

OH Boy, Bev I hope you can come. We haven't gotten to hang out together in a while now.

I'll be sure and dig up some more Strawberry Candy Daylilies so we'll have plenty.

I have the Maypop Passion Vine but it's not evergreen.

As far as food....bring anything you want to bring. We always have tons of all kinds of food.

Happy plant swappers will eat anything! LOL
I know I will.

Does anyone want cannas????

I'd like some of the cannas.
do you have a wish list??
thanks
Dorothy B.

Hi Dorothy, I'm setting up a seperate table for everyone to put free plants. I'm putting lots of cannas, Gold Lirope and misc. plants on it and I think Terry is putting Iris on it.

All other plants will be for the Round Robin Game.

We need to make a wish list to see what we need to dig up or bring.

OK...what does everyone want to wish for?

P.S. the mulch guy doesn't count. lol

My wish list?
Wish I could be there. It's just too long of a drive.

Wish you could, too, Kathy - we'll be thinking of you!!!!
I am looking for perennials (sun or shade), no more tropicals for me - these can all go to Carol Ann. (grin)
If there are those who have something specific they want from me, please email me so I can make myself a list. Senior moments, you know.

Kathy, you could go to Jolanas and ride with her.

I'm looking for hostas, cedar sage and ferns.

Don't be pawning people off on me, LOL
Kathy and I just might be going to Vegas or something, where the actually HAVE mulch guys, LOL

Okay, forget the swap, Carol Ann, I am going to Vegas with Jolana and Kathy. We'll tell you all about it though we probably WILL NOT share the mulch "guys" (plural).

I wanna go!!! Hand waving high in the air!!

Pick me...pick me!!!

I'd rather go to a plant swap then Vegas any day!

You CANNOT go, Carol Ann, you are the hostess!!!

I know I can't go. I was just joshin'.

I really don't like Vegas. It's full of places that take your money with nothing in return. I could buy a lot of plants with all the money the machines would take from me.

Well, you must go to the wrong places, lol

Who is worrying about the money--- we are talking mulch guys (plural) !!!!!

Welllll now....that's another story!!!

Bring it on!!!LOL

Hey, Jolana, you play the slots and Carrie and I will meet ya after the shows!!!!

P.S. put in some money for me. You gamblin' Goober!

Does anyone want any Broken Colors 4 O'Clocks (Mirabilis Jalapa)?

They're very pretty and some of the flowers have strips.

Here is a link that might be useful: Broken Colors

Do you have plants or seeds? If plants, how many? LOL

Carolann
I would love some of each of your 4 o'clocks, their both really pretty & I'll take plants or seeds ;o)
Debbie

I don't think my quarter will last very long.

Hahahaha, Kathy, we can stand on a corner and maybe get a couple more, lol

Last time I was is Vegas, Jolana, I think all the corners were taken, but we'll think of something.

Why...you hussies!!!!! LOL

This conversation could get confusing.

One quarter for 4 0'clocks and stand on the corner for them.

I wouldn't make you guys pay a quarter for them and standing on the corner would be a waste of time. The 4 0'clocks aren't even sold on the corner. Sheesh....you guys.

Melvalena, that is a beautiful plant! I would love to have a cutting of it. Not sure if I could duke it out for it though. I don't think my kids would like to see their mom in a pillow fight or mud competition for a plant :-)heeeheee
Carolann, I would love to have one of your broken color 4 o'clock and a strawberry daylily if you still have some.
PJ, I will bring some water plants if you're interested. I have fairy moss, yellow water iris, pickerel rush, maybe lizard tail and umbrella plant.

Kay, I'll pot up plenty but you have to grab it in our Round Robin Game.

There's a lot so if you miiss it I may be able to fix you up.

Terry is looking for water plants too. She's bringing lots of cool plants.

Carol, do people ever sow interest in seed at your swap, since it is still early enough for some. I just saw I left the h out of show but it fits, hehehehe

Jolana, we have a big basket where people take a bag of seeds and leave a bag of seeds.

Sorta a seed swap with the honor system. hehehe

Carolann, my half sister Louise wants to come with me, is that okay?
We don't get to do that much together and I think it will be fun. She's a hoot!

I'd love for her to come.

You two can spend the night in my travel trailer if you want. It has 2 bedrooms and they're at each end of it so there's lots of privacy and she won't even hear you snore!!! LOL

LOL, you said you would never rat me out on snoring.
Thank you

I'm needing directions for the swap Carolann and let me know what time you would like me to get there (since I'm gonna help sign people in and such) or if you need additional help setting up. I'm coming from Keller - your welcome to email me at smurfett8@sbcglobal.net
Thanks!

Hi Angie, it would be nice if you could get here around 10:45. I really appreciate your help. I think I should give you one of Jolana or PJ's plants for being so nice. lol

Here are the directions to the plant swap:

I've had several people ask for directions to the plant swap and it's a good thing they didn't map it on the internet because both mapquest and yahoo maps have it wrong. They both say to take Thousand Oaks to Yvonne Dr. but Thousand Oaks is a deadend street.
Here are directions to the plant swap from Loop 820 in Ft. Worth.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS TO THE PLANT SWAP

DO NOT TRY AND USE THE MAPS ON THE INTERNET OR YOUÂLL GET LOST Map quest and Mapit both have it wrong.

From 820 in Ft. Worth you turn onto I-35W south, head south and stay on I-35W until you see the Hwy 174 Cleburne exit. This will be in Burleson. Head south on Hwy 174 (which is also called Wilshire Blvd) until you come to Joshua. When you come up a small hill, youÂll see an Assembly of God church on the right. In front of the church is Main St. Take Main St. and go three streets down to Yvonne Dr. ItÂs the 7th house on the left 1011 Yvonne Dr. Look for the birdhouse mailbox. If you have any questions or get lost then call me Carol 817 447-3438. ItÂs real easy to find.

Does anyone going to the swap want any seedlings of this MG?
{{gwi:1339796}}

I'd like some blue MGs.

I have some purple ones but I love blue and I have a post just begging for it.

Jolana,
I would like to trade with you, I have Grandpa Ott & also a Lavendar (that I lost the name to)
TY
Debbie

Debbie, Louise ask me to post that MG, she will trade for a Lavender, she has Grandpa Ott
Thanks

I guess it is just as well that I won't be there. I would win that there snorin contest fer shur.

Kathy, I thought I heard you snorin' a couple nights ago...or was that a train? lol

I may be in BIG trouble!!!

I can't find my Broken Colors 4 O'clocks. I think my old fashioned phlox grew like crazy and it got burried.

Just in case I don't find it buy next Saturday I went out and bought some seeds. They are very easy to propagate.
