The swap today in Morse was excellent! Good people - good swaps - and good to see you all there, those who made it.

If you weren't at the Morse swap (slightly north of Iowa City) then you missed a good thing.

Thanks, Leslie!

Wow, Pam their website certainly looks good. I'm thinking that I'll combine a visit there with a fall pilgrimage to Fairweather Gardens in NJ. I have brother in NJ and one in Bucks county PA so I could go for a weekend and visit too. Thanks so much for the tip and the web link.

Hey, Carla! I've missed you too! I don't think I've gotten an email from you recently. I have been staying away from the forums for the last couple of years and have missed all the "news", questions, information, etc.

hi ham 36, thanks for the reply. I am curious as to whan your brother died, if you dont mind telling me? I feel abit better today, I think I am going to weed my garden and keep myself busy. As I wrtote my post late last night I forgot to mention that my brothers innapropriate behavoiur towards the nurse was totally out of character, he had the upmost respect for both women and elderly people, he was the type of person who would stand up if a women would enter the room!!!! By diong a google search a remembering a drama that I watched on TV, this behaviour is significant to brain damage, im no doctor and it took me five minutes to find out. If the hospital had given both my brother and my family the basic human rights of letting us know! we could have told the hospital this!!! I think angers is my emotion for the day. Grief really is something of a rollercoaster!! There were three Lithuanian guys involved in the incident with my brother and two have been caught, one remains in custody awaiting trial for murder and the other has been released and charged with affray. I dont think they will ever get the third man. The main thing is they caught the one who layed the what has turned out to be fatal blow. I am angry at the guy that did this to my brother, but I know that he never set out to kill him, so I actually hold more anger towwards the hospital and their inhumane behaviour, I just hope that we can stop this from happenning to anyone else in the future. The police have been really supportive to us, which is a godsend. Thankyou for your support, I would like to offer mine in return. It helps to know that no matter which way we grieve its seems to be quite normal behaviour, i think the only way is to just go with it. Thankyou bumble

This swap was he best ever. If you were there you got to enjoy the charm of Leslie and her tribe, the marvelous slide show on Maudes coumpter of her garden, the never ending knowledge of plant information by Doris, the charm of the southereners (Mo.), the first timers seeking information and receiving more than they need, all the other regulars with their plants and help. If you garden at all, this swap is a must. Stan

Does every have all their plants -planted??? Got Most of them. You know you have lots of plants-no too many. When you walk around for 30 minutes---- looking for right place.I'm glad I bought sweeter net hat at Fin&Feather last week. Oh did anyone see a extra water can??? Dh did say took it out of truck. But now can go buy this nice one at Gardensupply.com. Thanks again for hosting swap. And if anyone ever buy Koszta your welcome to give me ideas.

Thanks all for being so welcoming to newcomers! I had a very nice time, and can't wait to see how my new plants will like their spots in my garden. Thanks especially for the help identifying things in my big "what is this??" pile.
If any of you enjoy showing off your lovely gardens, it would be great to get a tour sometime!

Thanks to everyone who made this a fun weekend, especially Leslie who was so gracious to host it again. Unlike the rest of you who seem to have planted everything.....ours is still on the deck, watered down, and awaiting tomorrow. (Had to mow today!) Thanks to Mary for the Washington info....it was a treat. Great show. And Doris and Wayne...nice car Wayne....wish I could convince Doris to get interested in Siloams and Bromelaids....maybe next year. I could go on, but would sincerely like to thank everyone, and we look forward to the next one....Jay and Alice
