My nights filled with nightmares are over-----
My car is packed! Did it this afternoon..All the windows are down and the hatch is up.
Keeping some fresh air flowing over the boxed plants...

That took a bit of finegling....(sp?)--bit! They are all in the car.

The price I had to pay for this????
I had everyone's plants in their own boxes. Thought that would be easiest...Sure!!!
BUT--in order to fit everything in my small Outback--I had to move plants around
from this box to that box to consolidate...
SO! Now it won't be as easy to just hand everyone their box----Nope! Nada! Nein!

More work for me sorting things out--but i am glad that this worked out.
That pre-Swap---Swap we did at sallyg's was really a goof idea. Why drive the distance with
all the plants for each of us from each of us if we could get together early and swap them out...

Then--donner came to my house after work on Thursday--and p/u her stuff from sally and coleup, and greenthumb and
Robin--plus the loot I had for her. Lots and lots! besides, she had the pick of my extras.
Salad made---car packed---wine chilling---what a wonderful, relaxing evening i am having....

Here are a couple of pictures....

1--you saw this already--but--this is ALL the requested stuff boxed up and sitting everywhere since Monday.
2--All these boxes went to sally's for the pre-SwapSwap.
