Yes, I do have some epies, recovering from winter neglect so they aren't real pretty right now as I let them go pretty dormant in the gh over winter, but they're rooted and healthy. Have some of the zigzag/rickrack rooted too. I also have some nice jades and some jade/Hobbit. I need to take a pic of my Hobbit Jade, it just gets prettier and prettier and I whack it back so it has a nice sturdy trunk. There are a couple very small pink syngoniums I'll bring too. Sorry, no blackberry lilies, I think they maybe got buried under some mulch, so not sure if they'll make it back. Had a nice surprise when I went to the gh, there's a jasmine blooming, smelled it before I saw it, Mmmm... Better get back to it, lots to do. :)

Hi John, glad you're coming! Your name sounds familiar, are you Vickie's friend from the MG group? The amount of plants that everyone brings really varies a lot and there are no minimum requirements. We even welcome newbies that maybe have nothing or very little. We all love to help people new to gardening get started! If anything is left over we ask that you take it back home with you as we don't have any means of distributing it elsewhere. We do ask everyone to bring something for the covered dish get together and we have a great time yaking about our gardens/plants, etc... after the swap.

Red, a few on the Carolina exchange forum said they're coming and I've gotten a few emails from people too. We're still a small group but we've got plenty to share.

For anyone planning on coming to the swap tomorrow... It looks like it's going to be cold and wet so I'm going to look at some options to get us indoors. I'll post more info later.

We're all set. Got a couple tarps to block the wind on the end and side of the shelter that is towards the lake (that's where the breeze comes from). Also we're bringing a small heater to set in that protected corner. Between the tarps and heater it should be pretty nice inside the shelter.

This should work great, but if it was to be really nasty Mr Nelson (of Nelson's Nursery) has said we could set up in one of his greenhouses. So we have a backup for our backup. :) The only thing is since he's having a big sale tomorrow, we would need to shuttle everyone to the place,... so we don't use up all his parking. It's only 1/2 a mile up the road from where we'll be. By the way, he has the white Cat's Whiskers!
