Waxahachie Plant Party - trade page
Oh, OK. Maybe I should mind my own business. Sorry.
No problem T.J. thank you for looking out for me, you are so sweet.
I added a few things
Reserving space for trades.
Charlene
Nope TJ - thank you for keeping it strait, with the way things have been here you never know!
bronc, what's a broom tree?
I'm sorry, they are called desert broom. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/81748/
Ok, this is what I've got worked out for the 19th. We are planning on borrowing the 15 passenger van from my mom's church, and then renting 2 additional 15 passenger vans for a weekend rate of about $110 each. That's a total of $220 for the 2 vans, and so far, we've got about 40 people coming. I divided 220 by 40 and got 5.50, so I think if everyone could bring $6 per head, we can pay for the vans and the extra, if there is any, will go towards the pavillion rental which is $25. Now, remember that we will be bringing dishes for a pot luck lunch and for everyone who comes to my house afterwards, LouC's husband, Mike, will be cooking brisket served with beans, coleslaw, and tater salad. Drinks will also be srved at my house. Is $6 ok with everyone?
Also, I've been thinking we could honor a member at each North Texas swap with an Outstanding Gardener Award. It might be a garden plaque for that person to place in their garden or a special plant that person really likes. We could nominate people based on things like kindness, generosity, gardening achievements, experience, and contributions to DG. What do y'all think? If y'all think it's a good idea, I'll start a thread to begin the nominations.
Getting closer to swap time!!!! YeeeeeeHaw!
Geez TJ I though tI was goin crazy here for a minute ...just replied to your post on the other thread about the 19th then pop in here and see you posted it here to and thought wait a sec I just answered where is my post ....LOL...too much bamboo root diggin I guess LOL
Haha! Thanks for you input Phyllis, and I saw both your other posts. Don't let that bamboo get the better of you! You show it who's boss!!
T.J. $6.00 per head is just fine.

blues maven, whatcha mean by turk's cap? are you wanting the lily or the one texans call turk's cap?
The one texans call turks cap
If anyone's needing turk's cap its a shame they can't come over here and help me dig out this massive bunch that needs to go for the fence project--I've been putting it off. It looks like I'll need a pick axe even in our soft soil. Had to dig bulbs up and pry them from the around the roots and stems of it. Luckily, they were "durable" and "determined to live" bulbs. Had to use the tree branch loppers and cut roots--I like to garden but hate to do this kind of gardening.
dmj1218 can I have some of your Ipheion uniflorum 'Wisley Blue'? That's really pretty.
Yep you sure can--I've got other stuff too, just no time to update list yet. Busy "fence-spotting" here.
bumpy ride LOL
Mitch, How about a purple velvet plant for a purple crepe myrtle?
BTW the two huge brugs from October RU are green and growing. I never would have believed that they would make it. They looked dead, dead, dead! LOL
Charlene
Oh great, I just realized this is the wrong rU.
I am not going to make it to Waxahatchie.
DH says, I have to choose my trips due to gas prices. I have my mother that is a 3 1/2 hour drive to visit. She is 80, so I feel like I have to put her at the top of my list. I have my sister that is a 2 1/2 hour drive. She has recently had a masectomy and has other probs, so she is also at the top of the list. I frequently pick my sister up and take her to visit our mom which makes for a 4 1/2 hour trip (one way).
I am already going to CSRU as it is just an hour away.
Mitch since the CSRU is before the North Texas one I can still send you the purple velvet plant if you would like to have it. I'll pass it along with someone going to both RU's (like maybe Josephine).
Darn gas prices! I dream of the old gas pumps with globe shaped tops that you pulled up to and a fellow came out and asked: could I check your oil? He asks this with a squeege in his hands as he has just cleaned your windshield. He is doing all this while he is pumping your gas. If you want a coke while at the station, you get out and go to the coke machine. They may have some gum or a couple choices of candy by the register, but no full sized stores for sure. Oh yeah and as you pay your bill, he will hand you whatever they are giving away with every fill up.
Then you get old and sell the give aways on ebay!! AND gas is pumped by YOU and you can get lunch when you go in to pay. You also need to take an extra job to pay for the darned gas!!
Charlene
but 5 billion dollars isn't enough profit for these **&&^^&&^ and you can fill in the blank with the most vile word in your vocabulary. unless josephine, your most vile word is something like "cad" in which case i'm gonna help you. ain't that right charlene? lol.
Right on Barbara!
Charlene - would love one... I know I was going to try and make both but with gas and the College Station one being moved so close to ours it made saving impossible.
O.K. Charlene and Mitch, I will pick it up for you, and whatever else you need.
Josephine.
Just sticking in a link for the trades........

Charlene, since you won't be making Wax. do you want yours removed?

Hello Sheila, Thank you for the help you give.
Josephine.
Thank you Josephine. That is very kind of you.
Yes, Sheila, please take mine down.
Darn Gas prices! LOL
my attendance is still pending--fence supposedly being started today (side and front anyway--back is still waiting on HOA).
Debbie, is the HOA going to pay for it? I hope so. I have the evergreen sumac that Mitch dug for you sitting in a tub at my house. I sure hope you can make the swap. Let us know. Thanks!
The back they are--but they still need a few signatures back from the owners.
The side and front are really my responsibility--but my next door neighbor has kindly offered to go half's on that one.
I added some stuff to my trade page
