Hi esofva, Welcome to Garden Web, and The Plant Exchange. I thought you might like to know there is no email link on your Member Page, thus no one can email you. You also might want to add your Location and zone (if known) to your Member Page profile. See addressing newbie and newer member issues for an explanation and directions. Many members (myself included,) often do not respond to trade posts if they are clueless about where the member is located. Happy Gardening and Trading! You have some great trading lists. Sue

Something that I don't have to prepare in my kitchen, because I don't have one right now! :) But that's ok, because we have so many talented cooks and bakers out there. Maybe I'll contribute some drinks. If we have a couple of coolers available, I could pick up a variety of drinks.

I would hate to forget something.

I make my stakes out of 2/4s 10ft long. Cut them to 5ft and rip them down on a table saw. 3/4 by 3/4 in Get 16 stakes out of each. They don't like a3lb mall but using a stake driver ( a 3ft long 3in pipe with a cap on one end] have never had a problem. Just select clear wood . Cheep stakes that are 5ft long and effective. I use strips of old sheets to tie up Better then string will no rub stems.Dont spend 2 bucks a plant just for stakes . I made half my stakes this year out of some 2/10s from behind the neighbors barn .
