I got a lot of great plants last year in secret trades and since there hasn't been one set up yet, I'd be willing to take on the challenge if you're all interested.
Poppysue is setting up a daylily/iris secret trade http://davesgarden.com/showthread/76167.html and of course I'm in on this, :)
For everyone who would like to participate in a secret trade of what ever you are overflowing with please e-mail me with the following by August 24th: (for those that are new...just click on my name to the left to e-mail me)
e-mail address
name
mailing address

If you have a want list post here that you have one so that your trader can take a peek at it and possible really surpise you. I won't be matching up wants and you may not get any of your wants. It is simply for your trader to have something to go by.
After the sign up I will e-mail you with your traders info. All packages should be mailed with in two weeks, by Sept 7th.
Surprises are wonderful and I know everyone will get great plants added to their gardens!!! So lets have some fun!!!

I want in, Sounds like fun .
Wish I could join but it is getting to hard to get someone to help me with the garden. Sigh :(
I'm in, though I don't know exactly how to do this. I'm new, you see. I can't get enough hostas, but also need some new plants for a sunny area with clay-type soil.
I am also in on this, I e-mailed jody this morning just a couple minutes after she posted this. Smiln32, welcome to DG, I sure know what you mean about never having enough hosta!!!!!!!! sue
Hey HoniBee, you just turn that frown upside down. You just save that Phaison for me and I will cover you in the trade.

Well count me in too... I love surprises.I have kinda started a want list on here so you can check that out not to organized yet but working on it. Basically I love purple and perrenials I don't have. But I haven't found to many plants I don't like so I will love anything...
Count me in too. I love Asiatic, Oriental and Daylilies.A white Daylily would be the ultimate since I can't seem to find one around here. Any perennial that would grow in zone 4 in a sunny spot. Actually, I'd be happy with just about anything.
