HAVE: Kelso/Longview plant swap May 21

13 years ago

The Kelso/Longview swap will be on 21 May, 10 AM until 2 PM. We will have hot dogs and hamburgers as usual, and pot lucks are welcome but not necessary. I will post directions later or you can e-mail me. I sure hope a lot of you can make it. Don and I always look forward to seeing all of you.

I'm going to have to send my regrets this time around. I hope the sun shines on all of you! I have been work 10-12 hour days for the past couple of weeks and I haven't gotten a single thing potted up.

I have quite a bit of tradescantia (spiderwort) and Gloriosa Daisy (rudbeckia), some perennial herbs, climbing roses that mostly don't have leaves, but the roots were good when I potted them, amsonia hubrichti (Blue Star), pea starts, and a lot of odds and ends that I only have one or two of. What color are your iris? I don't need purple, but almost any other color I would trade for. I think my neighbor is bringing some iris, too, and another neighbor is probably bringing dahlia tubers. I am interested in some veggie starts depending on what they are. I need cukes and summer squash, one or two kale plants and broccoli.

Of course newcomers are welcome! We always enjoy meeting new gardeners. I'll post directions about a week before the 21st. The garden will probably not be at its best because of this never-ending rain, but hopefully the swap day will be dry at least. If not, we have a couple of canopies, a large cold frame and my husband's shop to take refuge in.

Alas, it's looking like I will be in Pasco that weekend. So won't be able to attend. I'm not a new gardener, but fairly new to plant trades. I attended the Olympia spring trade 2 seasons ago but have missed them since. I do alot of winter sowing, and my hubby built me a green house a year ago, so have lots of seedlings this year. Hopefully I will meet you all sometime in the future. I live just north of you in Winlock.Thanks for the invite. Connie.

I don't know if I can get off work, but I will try. Tell Don that the ferns I gave him marked "Autumn Fern' and 'Maidenhair Fern' are not either. It seems the nursery sent me the wrong ferns. I think the cinnamon ferns are actually cinnamon ferns, but they were shipped separately. I'm working on an ID for the other 2, but I may never know their true identities. I will buy fern plugs from a reputable nursery and set aside some for him at a future trade.

Tammy, I sure hope you can make it to the swap. It just won't be the same without you and Marie! About the ferns, Don says he hopes you can make it - he has a fern for you. LOL Actually, I don't think it makes a bit of difference to him. He just enjoys having the ferns in his garden, and he's too old to remember names anyway.
