Not that far off now!! Gosh thanks for the reminder. I have barely been out in my yard this winter its been so unhospitable. I did go scratching around today though. Maybe within the next month weather will be good enough to dig a few things. See you there!

Hi All. Sorry I've been away for awhile. -Family passings & such. Winter has effectively devastated my garden, so, being the optimist that I am, I went to the NW Flower/Garden show twice this past week to get my motivation up. I work March 7th, so wont be able to attend the Green Elephant. HOWEVER, I do have a few things that I would like to put out as offerings to people for trades, if interested, and we can swap on a day other than 3/7. Wanteds: I'm still going for tropicaleze theme, with focus on glaucous leaf & black leaf items, or chartreuse. or verigated., flowers that pop in my yard are white, or green. Bananas (would take pups) Brugsmansias (Lost all my biggies), Calla lilies, Cannas, Colocasias, iris, daylilies, black or gold raspberry canes, huckleberries, ferns. Unfortunately, all of my verigated iris has been lost. I gave alot of it out a couple of years ago. If it has done well for anyone who would like to complete the circle with it and schlepp some back to me, I'd appreciate it. I have to trade: bamboos: gold, or thin purple culm that I forgot what it's variety is. Phlox; White (David) Daylilies (varied) passion flower (purple crown, (white constance elliot) siberian iris, (schwann), (?white butterflies?) Maybe able to divide some hostas this year. red rose, (?Parkland series?) still potted& growing well, & maybe some other random stuff.

This is the Victory Garden Veggie Swap. I'm bringing 180 starts of squash type veggies. Jim

We, too, will be bringing lots of freebies. You folks started our garden 2 years ago and we are both so grateful. I like putting out freebies & then wandering to see what anyone else might have put out. We'll have: lilacs (some waist high, some bigger, some smaller) burnet some herbs oenothera rose campion columbine maybe foxgloves I'm not sure what else-lots of stuff growing here! I also will bring some seeds, if we're doing that-are we? Laura
