Sorry, ladies. The SNAPDRAGONS bit the dust and are not able to be part of our swap. I'm sure you'll be able to find something else when you come. The PULMONARIA did not survive the splitting and potting. Maybe because they were flowering. We can try taking two more pieces and potting them up when you get here.

Teri, no problem about the snaps. I have spirea.

Gardadore I would love one of your Chelone Hot Lips and some sedum Angelina. I have some Angelina but it didn't do well in the pot over winter. I could use just a little more.
RRR, Got your Marigolds.

Nisi, I'd like 2 Tommy Toe, 2 Jelly Bean, a Ramapo and a Supersonic, please
Wind, If no one took that last Beauty Berry, I'd like that.

Added above for a friend who is coming with me at the last minute. She doesn't have a lot but is ripping out the above stuff.

Nisi.. I would love a Ramapo, jelly bean, and what ever tom you think is the best one on your list please!!

I need to know where I will be going, I figured that would be a good thing since the drive is 4 hours

I'm sending you a d mail.

yeah Steve!!!

I'm ready for some of your tomatoes, Nisi. I'll take whatever you recommend, thank you.

added a couple more today

Onewish1,

I would love an aster Jenny if possible. Thanks, Jessica

you got it

I will pretty much take anything, anyone has. I have just finished a 30' X 80' backfill/new bed and paths today so I have a ton of area to cover. Also didn't get my vegie garden in so if anyone has started vegies I will take some of those.

Steve, Sun or shade plants?

Just so you know, Steve, Holly is a SCUBERER also!! (Is that even a word??)

Just a reminder to bring a pot luck dish and something for the gift table. Let me know if I missed listing your food contribution,

Looking forward to a great day, rain or shine!!!!

Please bring a folding chair if you have room for it.

I am still getting ready for the swap, if you want me to reserve anything from my list for you. I am bringing some plants that no one requested yet. I am sure they will find good homes.

I feel like I am requesting more plants than I am bringing. I guess that will change as my plants mature and I have more interesting plants reseeding and needing division. I would like to request the following plants. If you are finished packing for tomorrow or they are no longer available, that is fine.

Last Minute Requests

Onewish - chocolate mint, variegated mint, coral honeysuckle cutting, and any begonia.

RosesAreRed - chianti pansy, munsted lavender, blue salvia

flowjen - I would love a chick from hen and chicks. If you want rocks, the Poconos is the place to find them! They call this area "the slate belt". I am not going to load garadaores car with rocks, but I can point out some good places to get them. I can't plant a rose without hitting at least one too heavy to lift. There are plenty in the dog run where I live. I have been gathering flat slates from there for my garden.

loretta - variegated mint. geranium samobor, Rosa glauca, a double ditch lily if it is orange, Epimedium x Rubrum, new dawn rose

nisiNJ - I would LOVE a tricolor sage and tomatoes - Goldman's Italian American, 2 Roma, Ramapo, Supersonic, 2 Superbeafsteak, and Tommy Toe. I will bring you some yellow marigold seeds. you can save them for next year if you get others this year.

wind- compost cherry tomato, perilla, swiss chard lights seed

HollyAnnS - comfrey, blue Agave houseplant and any begonia

I better start baking for tomorrow's food table....

Gotcha, GQ

updated my list

I am a big fan of ground covers and lamium is one of my favorite. If you have one for me, Jen, I would be very happy.

Gardenquilts, Not sure if I have anymore New Dawn and I'm not sure if the ones I have will make it. They all grew back from pieces of one I removed and are turning out to be very deep rooted.

You got it Terri

You can give Gardenquilts one of the two you reserved for me.

FlowAjen and Onewish: Just went through all my tomatoes and can't find any more Jelly Bean. (Unfortunately I didn't set them aside when I said I would and someone must have taken them from the sidewalk sale table.) I have purchased a six pack of something called mojo grape and need only ONE... Will that be okay as a substitute?

Just a note...I don't have nearly as many tomato plants as the jungle I left behind last year (and escaped before anyone could say "no, take them home again!"). I will bring quite a few though; should be enough to go around. They run the gamut in appearance from older tall ones with yellowing bottom leaves to really short winter sown ones, and in between are some stocky dark green beauties I bought from a local greenhouse. (Those are the Ramapo and Supersonic.) Remember--they'll all be happy once they get their roots in the ground!

I have some other plants in their wintersown containers. Would it be all right if I brought them, plus some cups and labels and people can dig out what they want?

No problem, Loretta. One of my gardening goals is learning to root roses. So far, I am good at generating black sticks.

just got home from seeing dad... going to do my best to get everything together for tomorrow... hope I can get to the mints and grab a few extra cuttings.. keep your fingers crossed!!

Nisi-not a problem substituting....bring whatever you want to, someone will take it.

Car is loaded, I have approx 200 plants in here so I hope you guys want plants. LOL

oh drive safe!!!

Nisi the mojo are great.. never tried those before either.. thanks.. sorry I missed your post last night

That is amazing Holly Ann. I don't have 200 plants in my gardens - even if you counted the weeds!

Morning everyone. Thought I would check in while I drink my coffee. I have throw the last few things in my bag and get going. Nothing is going as planned in my life at the moment, but I am showing up anyway. As is.

Cricket ... you left the pachysandra... Holly has it

They got it. When we had to turn around and come back for Ric's jacket they just waited down the road a couple of miles so when we got back to them we put the pachysandra in her car. All good.
I want to thank everyone for the wonderful plants.
Roses, What a great swap, good plants, good food & good friends. What a great day.

oh yeah!!!!... I am so glad it worked out

You people made it all so worth while!! I enjoyed every one of you and had a good time when I finally got to taste EVERYTHING as I cleaned up. Made the chore a very pleasant one. .

Look for the Recipe Thread very soon.
