HI,all! This is my first time posting myself. James ususally does it. Granny we will be bringing some of the Gold Nuggets Lamium with us. Allison we should have a few starts if your friend wants some. It is gold with a white stripe down the middle and has I think pinkish purple flowers. It stays nice all winter. We got the original from Franklin Park Conservatory. Bev James doesn't remember bringing that type of tomato. The poppies and lavender sound good to me. We have been out potting and weeding this morning. We have ready to go... golden tiara hostas bressingham blue hosta stilletto hosta un named varieties of hosta centuria montana zebra grass dwarf zebra grass gold nuggets lamium anne greenaway lamium lilacs(white) ostrich ferns japanese painted ferns vinca minor varigated stargazer lilies crimson pixie lilies crimson pirate daylily and probably a few more things. We have a small swap in Stasburg the week before. I also sent the swap info to my brother who had some people from his church interested. Can't wait to see you all... Michelle

I posted this notice on the Indy Craig's List, farm and garden section, so hopefully that will draw more people. My contribution is down this year -- I had a plant sale where I sold a lot of plants, plus, my parents moved in with us last month, and settling-in time took away from my gardening time. I'm looking for: stevia (sent a message to Katie) fennel margoram rosemary terragon garlic I plan to bring to trade: Roma and Super Beefsteak tomatoes mixed hot peppers canterbury bells Lamium -- common silver False Lamium "Herman's Pride" ventricosa hosta Stella d Oro daylily Sedum "Autumn Joy" Obedient Plant Thyme "Aphrodite" amaryllis Aloe vera Variegated Scented (citrus) Geranium I have available to trade, but won't dig up unless I get a request for it: Siberian Iris "Caesar's Brother" Hosta ...Francis William ...Green Gold ...Honeybells ...Autumn Moon ...Tiara Gold Daylily ...Canadian Border Patrol ...Caphis Robes ...Hot Pepper ...Chorus Line Purple Coneflower Coreopsis "Moonbeam" Common Lambs Ear Rudbekia (Black-eyed Susans)"Goldstrum" Lamium "Golden Anniversary" Indyrose

I plan to be there as well. Fionasol, I just emailed you to ask about this, should have done a more thorough search first. Anyway, I'm just wondering, what if I don't know the exact names of specific plants? I plan to bring many varieties of hosta, daffodil bulbs, a few trilliums, a jack in the pulpit or two, perhaps some ferns and a couple of other things. We bought this house last year, I'm a beginner as gardeners go and I only know the common names of everything not the names of the specific varieties. Any advice on what to do?

I was hoping perhaps we could get together with the lady who puts these together and reschedule this year's event, which seems to have been cancled due to an event at the park. I was very much looking forward to it. Perhaps the 6th, or the 13th of May? If it has to be the 29th, perhaps we could just pick another park. Wiki has a list of Indy parks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_parks_in_Indianapolis Or we could try the Indy Parks site: http://www.indy.gov/eGov/City/DPR/Pages/IndyParksHome.aspx I wonder if there is anything I can do to help raise support or get the word out? Perhaps we could send out e-mails to previous participants or open a "Meet Up" event? If the lady hosting no longer wishes to host thise year, perhpas a few of us could pull it together anyway?
