If you would like to get together, just let me know. I'm trying to clear out a lot of stuff before my upcoming plant swap in may. My gardens are a mess and I want to rearrange and tidy them up. I'm willing to give you more than you give me. That's not a problem. So if you're a newbie, don't be scared by my wish list. These are just the items I can think of off the top of my head. I'm continually learning about new plants, so maybe you can introduce me to something I didn't even know existed.
Hoping to meet new friends and new plants.

IN PERSON TRADE - DO YOU LIVE IN MY AREA?
Hey NancyAnn,
Always wishing I lived closer!! Hope all is well with you and hope you are healthy again.
I'ts nice to see you on the forums
Take care, Ronnie
Hey Ronnie,
I wish you lived closer too. I still have your ghost windchimes in my gardens and think of you each time I walk by them. You've been a great friend and wonderful trader all these years.
I'm incredibly healthy! I still must deal with the kidney stones, but that doesn't seem like such a biggie anymore. Since my surgery, I feel reborn and have amazing energy. I work outside everyday I get, like today. It's about 70 here! My gardens are weedy but I'm clearing the weeds out. And I'm building an arbor and a porch, with the help of a local gardening friend. This year, I think it will all come together FINALLY!
I really wish we could meet sometime. If you ever have a reason to go to Memphis, holler at me. I'm just an hour away.

i wish i did I live in maine would be worth the travel lol
Wow, NancyAnn! What a fantastic list of things you are trading. There's got to be lots of DG's that live close enough to trade with you. I'm hoping that one of my DG friends remembers to bring a Kwanzo Daylily for me.

If I lived closer I would bring you some bamboo, weigela I have some of the burgandy and white ones, and bleeding hearts, I am getting many new things at our local nursery and from friends of mine that we trade back and forth with on the freecycle in my area. Im having a blast and have made so many good friends, They are happy to help me and I am happy to help them out also.
Vicki
Well, I sure wish you all lived closer. I'd load you up!
Vicki, two ladies from freecycle came by today and got a lot of stuff. One lady was saying, "No more, no more! Let me get all this planted first." LOL
The funny thing is, these ladies took home a lot of stuff that I would consider JUNK, but they were so happy with it! And I was happy to get it out of my way.
Now you guys know that I am hosting my annual garden party in May. Y'all are all welcome to take a road trip and come party with us. This year, it's a three day event and growing! LOL Anybody up for a road trip? So far, about 20 people are planning to come. Some are here in town, Master Gardeners, etc., and others are coming from other states. Y'all just pack up and come on!
