SHARRI: You asked for 'Purple Waters' daylily. I have you down for that already. Did you want another one? You also asked for light blue iris, which I can bring. Sorry I am out of purple black/white columbine. For your mom you asked mini tan iris and purple with white columbine. I can bring those. Could it be possible to get 4 more tiger lilies for these? Please, let me know. I have you down for these previously: 'Purple Waters' daylily, mini tan iris, anemone sylvestris 'Madonna', reddish/yellow shorter iris, pink mum and Californian poppies. And for your mom Bonnie, I have red monarda and anemone sylvestris 'Madonna'. From your mom I am getting pink lavatera. From you: tiger lilies, horse poo, hollyhocks, gooseberry and pink maymoss.

Hi guys does anyone have a fairy rose that is at least about a 1 gallon size? I moved mine and one died. I am also looking for limelight Hydrangea and a Penny Mac. If so email me and I will see what I may have from your "wishlist" A lot of what I have is stuff I can steal a little of if requested, but I probably won't dig up for the genral trade. I am really unorganized this year so I still don't have much of a list put together, I won't be bringing a whole lot, but that is my focus for this week, getting things potted up to trade. I have my trades on my page, but I will walk the yard today and see what I can add and hopefully update it again tonight. Here are the things I would like that you all have offerred let me know what you would like in return if you have any of this left. Danielle, is it too late to get one of your 'Tardiva Pink' Hydrangea -- rooted cuttings and a varigated wiegelia? Also is the Walker's Low catmint still available? I have honeycomb butterfly bush I could bring you a couple of cuttings if you tell me what you need exactly, I have never tried rooting one and since we are so close to the trade it would probably be pointless, I will cut them fresh that morning for you. I can also bring you some burgandy bearded iris if you think it won't hurt the clump for me to cut off a section right now, they are still blooming so I don't want to dig up the whole thing. Pins do you still have any of the variuos rooted hydrangea cuttings? I would love a Penny Mac as I mentioned as well as an Annabelle and if Marcy doesn't have a Tardiva still I would take that as well. Beautyberry would also be wonderful. Glynis do you still have any of the wierd Euphorbia you mentioned? Also interested in some of the Van Sion Daffs and Santa Barbara Daisy, I can bring you some various camelia cuttings and Becky shasta daisy as well as a baby red tinged hens and chicks. Linda Gail I have some lemon verbena if you still need it and I think you mentioned hostas, I have some unnamed varigated ones. I would love any of the following that you still have available Spanish bluebells, minature iris, Strawberry Shamrock, Ninebark, Jasmine "winter Beauty" Farmer Pickle is the Blackberry Lily still available? Barb still have extra Mazus? I would love what you can spare. RDhanson-- If they are still available I am interested in magnolia saplings and oakleaf Hydrangea cuttings (any really but specifically Pee Wee)

Okay Lucy, I'll bring you a pink and a purple hydrangea for a bluish green/yellow hosta. I have just begun to appreciate the blue leaf varieties. My property used to be a pig farm and my hydrangea colors are very often different than they are supposed to be. My 'Forever Pink' is a deep, clear rose when fresh and turns red-purple as it ages. And my purples are deep purple. I can't say the strong colors will last more than a year or two in another soil. Farmerpickle, I have several iris--'Beverly Sills', 'Harvest of Memories', 'Spiced Custard' 'Swingtown' an unnamed very deep purple, and a very tall white, unnamed also. Are you listing three separate iris or one that is lavender, burgundy and yellow? E-mail me to finalize this trade. Everybody---I need a few folding tables. Please e-mail me if you can bring one. Linda

Hello, I haven't read all of your intros yet, but I thought I'd ad mine. I am relatively new to permaculture. I took a 6 month long permaculture course online last fall/winter, but didn't complete my own design for my property here. I know a lot of permaculture theory but haven't very much experience at all in putting that theory to good use. I feel that I have a good understandign of the htought process behind it though. We moved into our house last december and the permaculture course definitley informed how I am thinking about the best way to utilize our house and land. We live in a mountain community and have about 1/5 of an acre of pretty steeply sloped land. THe back half has the hosue and is wooded, but the front is pretty bare and gets full sun. THe house is in good shape, but with the front yard so bare (and yes, erosion is an issue) it is UGLY. There are no trees to the south so we get the full force of the sun on our house, something I hope to take advantage of, someday. Mostly what I like about permaculture is how it is based in reality, and my reality is that I am quite lazy. I like phrases like "do nothing", I love the idea that doing nothing is sometimes best, cuase I like to do a whole lot of nothing! LOL. I also like that permaculture looks at the whole picture, and moves slowly, and warns against situations like building yourself a wonderful off the grid eco palace which you then have to commute an hour from in order to pay for the loan you needed to build it, thus cancellign out any benefit to the environment. The challenge for me is that my husband, while supportive of me learnign about permaculute, is not as into as I am. I base a lot of my decisions on what to do with the house on permaculture, but he doesn't, so we clash soemtiems in that regard. This has taught me to be patient (well not really, but it sure has taught me the IMPORTANCE of patience!) and I have to really explain all of the reasoning behind why I want to do it a certain way, in a way that makes sense to him. Our first major project is going to be rebuilding a route from our driveway to the house. On one side of the proposed route is the best place for growing full sun veggies, so eventually I want to terace a part of it for less frequently visited full sun vegetables. THis will be a challenge, because it also the most steeply sloped and currently not very accessible at all. On the other side of the proposed route we get full sun also, but not as much as the other side, whcih gets full southern exposre. This part will not be terraced, it will be developed just enough to be accessible. The areas closest to the entrance of the house get part sun, but it is lovely, filtered light, so i will experiment with growing shade tolerant edibles there. We also have a nice large balcony that I will use to grow salad stuff and other things that should be as close as possible to the kitchen. Well, although I never turned it in, I did work on my permaculture design report, whcih is curently 23 pages long, so before i repeat the whole thing here.... Glad to have this forum!
