HAVE: October 2nd, Kelso-Longview swap meet

13 years ago

I really hope a lot of you can make it this year since I have tons of plants to get rid of. No trades are necessary but, of course, you all know I won't turn much down! It will be from 10 AM until everybody has enough and wants to go home. I always have a little cookout so no one has to worry about lunch (a lot of you have to drive a ways to get here).

Directions: Take Exit 39 off I-5. If you're coming from the south, turn right at the light, and immediately get into the left lane for a left turn at the next light, (about 50 feet.) Turn left on Minor Rd./Kelso Dr. and continue up the hill to the stop sign, which is Mt. Brynion Rd. Turn right onto Mt. Brynion Rd. and go almost exactly 5 miles. The mail box numbers will be in the 4300 series. Look for Bear Creek Rd. off to the left. It is a dirt road, and you won't see any houses. Turn left on Bear Creek Rd., and we are the second house you come to. (171 Bear Creek Rd.).

If you are coming from the North, turn left at the light. Go to the second light, and turn left onto Minor Rd/Kelso Dr. and then follow the directions above.

Is there anything in particular you're looking for? If there's anything on my list you want, I'll be happy to set it aside for you. We're always happy to welcome newcomers, lurkers or not! And bring a friend if you want.

Okay, here are the directions to get to my place for the trade. I hope a lot of you can make it. It's always fun to get a bunch of gardeners together. It will be from 10 AM until everybody has enough and wants to go home. I always have a little cookout (just hamburgers and hot dogs) so no one has to worry about lunch (some of you have to drive a ways to get here). You can bring something to share for lunch if you are so inclined, but it's not necessary. Anything is okay to swap as long as it's garden or yard related - plants, seeds, pots, tools, books, yard art, etc. The only stipulation is no money is to be exchanged. I always have a lot to give away as well as trade. Some of it is already potted up and some you will have to dig. Directions: Take Exit 39 off I-5. If you're coming from the south, turn right at the light, and immediately get into the left lane for a left turn at the next light, (about 50 feet.) Turn left on Minor Rd./Kelso Dr. and continue up the hill to the stop sign, which is Mt. Brynion Rd. Turn right onto Mt. Brynion Rd. and go almost exactly 5 miles. The mail box numbers will be in the 4300 series. Look for Bear Creek Rd. off to the left. It is a dirt road, and you won't see any houses.

Blooming thanks to... **Barb & Don for hosting the swap & giving plants. I hope the SGrow works well. **Teresa for picking up plants for me since I couldn't attend **Teresa for opening her garden when I came to pick up the plants and helping dig 19 different plants.(She has an amazing variety of lovely plants in a natural setting!) **Marie for plants (More SGrow to swap for Jacob's Ladder next time) The surprise of the potted Dragon Arum (Voodoo or Stink Lily) was awesome since James' pot from fall GE hasn't come up.

Hope you all have a great time! Surprising as it is I am declining acquiring more plants this time :o) Staying home as family is leading a retreat at our mountain camp. Dog sitting parents' Ginger who needs 2x daily meds. With our 2 dogs, chickens, ducks, doves, and rabbits as well as Oly swap plants to plant out after working in some more compost. Going to add more greens to my large heap. Promising to not over do it & remember to enjoy the sunshine as well!

Ricky, I have a small red and a small pink Etilator (sp?) that I can divide for you. So far I have you down for those, some broms, and a michelia champaca. I still have american beautyberrys (see GardenPa's thread to see how pretty these are in bloom!), michealia champaca (orange flower) seedlings, miscellaneous hoyas (mostly carnosa or the green sports of KP or KQ), plumerias (see pictures), plumeria pudica, and miscellaneous coleus & perilla (perilla is a great subsitute for coleus for hot sunny areas with little water), Hedychium Sherry Baby (I think I got this from Evelyn last swap? It's now my favorite!), Hedychium Flavum, misc. heliconias, frosty pink brugs, etc. I've posted a link to some pictures below. Does anyone have any cuttings of the following to share? Jasmines, sweet almond verbana (aloysia virgata), Sweet olive (osmanthus fragans), aglaia odorata, bridal veil, fiddlewood, or small fragrant hedychiums? Fragrance is my new thing, lol. Thanks WRF Here is a link that might be useful: Swap Photos

Hey Barb,

Mom and I are planning on attending. We will bring your knife. I already put it in my purse, so let's hope I don't have to go through security somewhere before your trade.

Would you like some Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens' (black mondo grass)? I love how it looks with Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' (golden creeping Jenny). I can bring both...

We still have a lot of winter-sown vegetgables, and I will be bringing them. See you Oct 2!

I'm so happy you and Marie are going to make it! I would love the black mondo, but I've been fighting creeping Jenny forever so don't think I'll add any more of it. LOL. Is there anything special you're looking for? I'm going to try to get some more things dug up. I know I have Russian sage and a lot more that needs to be divided. If you have an extra yucca, my neighbor Susan lost the one she got from you in the hard freeze we had and I know she would really appreciate another one.

We set aside a yucca and a black mondo grass. Wish I could bring more than one mondo grass, but I bought ten plants to divide and sell next spring, so you're getting one that was left over after I filled the flats. We aren't really looking for anything special, but I wouldn't turn down a Russian sage. Oh, and I forgot to tell you - do you remember that plant we dug out of your garden last spring that we couldn't identify? I feel certain it is a catchfly (Silene). It's doing very well. The pulmonaria you dug up for Mom and me are doing very well, too. Some of the baby pulmonarias I've gotten from you in past trades put on a growth spurt this last summer, and have caught up with the plant we dug last May. And the seedling sea hollies you gave me have really grown! Do you have more seedlings?

I have quite a few sea hollies, but keep in mind that they do spread very well. You may have more than you want by next spring. LOL. I'm trying to get a few more things added to my trade list. I have strawberries, probably alpine Golden Alexander and white, as well as Pink Pandas. I just bought a viola soraria "Freckles" last weekend and it looks like it has several baby starts around it. There are quite a few baby Lady's Mantle, but I'm sure you have plenty of that. More to come later.
