Sheila, Sheila, Sheila, I think you're going to have to take the plunge and do one yourself. Why not? You know I'll come! I thought about hosting another one this fall, but since my surgery, I'm able to work on projects I couldn't deal with before. So I'm redoing everything! I'm even putting in a circle driveway! My place is so under construction that I don't think I can get it cleaned up enough to host a swap this year. So let's do it at your house. I'm sure KathyAnn would love to come too and other folks around Little Rock. Maybe some of my Master Gardener friends would come with me. So what day and time, girl? I'm ready! LOL NancyAnn

Hi everybody, Sorry I didn't get these pictures posted earlier, 'puter has been acting testy and I still don't have email working, but at least I'm back to posting! Here's some pics... Margie, I brought the Chocolate Dip, just love the foliage. They come true from seed, I started a pack of 20 seeds over the winter and 4 came up but one died from overwatering and I planted out 2. It's an outdoor plant, supposedly perennial, full sun to part shade. I don't know how it will do with reseeding, I was afraid of the name Hawkweed so I made sure to collect as much of the seed as I could! Hope you enjoy it!

Central Indiana Fall Plant Swap 2010 Sunday, September 19, 2010, 2:00 pm Holliday Park, 6363 Spring Mill Road, Indianapolis, IN 46260 PLEASE tell all your gardening friends, family, and colleagues! WeÂre having the Central Indiana Fall Plant Swap on September 19. The Spring Event was so successful, that we decided to add the Fall Plant Swap. We are encouraging gardeners to participate! THE DETAILS Date: Sunday, September 19, 2010 Time: 2:00 pm Location: Holliday Park, 6363 Spring Mill Road, Indianapolis, IN 46260 Directions inside the park: Once you enter the park take an immediate left. Then pull into the first parking lot on the right. We will be under the giant sycamore tree. You can bring tables, chairs and plants to share. MINUMUM REQUIREMENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANT SWAP: - You must bring at least one dozen (12) plants  some people bring more than 50. - At least two (2) varieties of plants  try to bring one plant that is extra special. - All plants need to be clearly identified with plant name and care -- (Examples: HOSTA: Halcyon, Shade. * DAYLILLY: Happy Returns, Sun) - For best results plants should NOT be dug up and divided that day. Allow a week or two of special care, to make sure the potted plants are not stressed from being dug up. TRADING MATERIALS Perennials well rooted cuttings potted up, bulbs, shrubs, happy seedlings, garden ornaments, extra gardening implements, gardening magazines and books, etc. You can also print out pictures of the mature plants during peak bloom times. You can go to an online nursery that sells the plants and paste the care instructions into a document. HOW IT WORKS We will do the swap in the ROUND ROBIN Format  it works well for this group, and is a lot of fun: *Round One - pick one plant *Next Round - pick one plant *Next Round - pick two plants *Next Round - pick two plants *Next Round - pick three plants *Next Round - pick four plants *And so on . . . This way everyone gets a chance to get some of the plants they really have on eye on. This works well and other swaps have had great success with it in the past. Everyone should be able to take home as many plants as they bring. KEEP IT SIMPLE, HAVE FUN, MEET FELLOW GARDENERS * Post what you are planning to swap, and/or update your plant list. * Bring a box or container labeled with your name to put your new plants. * We plan to meet even if it rains  bring those rain coats, umbrellas, etc. *E-mail me if you wish to be put on the plant-swap e-mail list. See the spring Central Indiana Plant Swap Posting (posted Mar 7) for more information from our last swap. See you there -- We should have a nice crowd and great stuff to share!

It's not going to rain before Saturday afternoon ( last weather forecast) My yard has recovered just fine,and should it get messed up a bit again who cares!!!I live on a farm!! I have forgotten who wanted the sunflower seeds last fall but( whoever) I have a big bunch of sunflowers that reseeded in my vegetable garden and because I can't bare to pull up plants I left them. The result is I have very few veggies but lots of sunflowers so you are all welcome to go gather seeds.
