Tom, I will bring you aster plants - the mom plant sends out lots of shoots after she is done blooming. And then, when the young pups are done blooming, they too send out pups - so the population grows rather well :) I have QW vine, but unfortunately, this year, due to the nasty weather, it froze to the ground :( It is finally starting to coming back from the roots and has a long way to go. Anna is , I think, a bit more south of us, so her vine did much better through the winter.... Does anyone know the name of this plant? I forgot! And does anyone have it in other colors? I particularly have been looking for blue, not sure if I will ever find it :) From Backyard Summer 2008

Back home already, sorry I couldn't stay for the delicious food, but I had a great time and it was pleasure meeting you all.. well those who were there before 1pm. I'm a little mad at myself, because I forgot three of my trade plants near the curb by the walkway to the backyard. The sweet corn is the one I'm most sad about... oh well..there's always next year right.. Thanks again to everyone for making me for welcome and to our lovely host and hostess for opening your home, yard and driveway to us all. hope you all enjoy your holy basil.

Hi Lori, I'm glad your dad is doing better too, we had Cathy's mom with us for thirteen years before she passed away, being a caregiver is quite a responsibility but we have fond memories from keeping her with us at home. Sorry about the bamboo but you'll be happy with the Mahoi bananas. Like I told V, this one will top out at 6-7 feet so it's easy to thin, care for and pick fruit from, and from the second stalk on you get two stalks of bananas instead of only one. I'm in if there's another Tampa swap but other than the Mahoi pups all I'll have are veggie seeds unless there's some interest in any particular veggie plants, in which case I'd start extra seed with my maters and peppers that I'll be starting 8/1. Tom
