done - thanks for alerting us Blake.

Hi Annie! My MIL is coming up for that weekend, so we will both be coming. Here is what I can think that I'll be able to dig up so far: european ginger american ginger hosta-sounds like they're in high demand this year! i'll dig up as many as i can spare pink turtlehead japanese anemone i have LOADS of creeping phlox (pink and lavender) a couple NO ID peonies stachys hummelo anemone nemerosa probably some tiny spirea japonica seedlings i could also probably whack off some shoots of bridal-wreath spirea if anyone is interested in trying it i have kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' and have heard it is easy to root from cuttings if anyone wants to give it a try i may have an epimedium (i think that particular one bloomed pink and white) emerald gaiety euonymous (i have read that this gets 2-4' tall, but mine have always been less than 8" or so and quite a spreader) I'm sure there will be more once I start digging! Annie, even if I don't have a chance before the swap to pick up the cake tupperware from last year's swap I'll be sure to bring another lemon cake! What time is the swap? Looking forward to it! Susan

Have reserved Blue Fescue plants : sasha-nh (TY for S&S hosta) and annie nh Will bring additional for the taking/trading. Its a very pretty plant that can be ignored once planted. It is not particular about soil either. Lisa(ishareflowers), thank you so much for bringing sweet woodruff for me! No tornado damage here, although high winds did take down a few tree limbs. Just north of me by 10 miles did take a hit, especially Sturbridge and Brimfield. Springfield and Munson have unbelievable serious damage where the tornado touched down. Very sad the amount of property damage sustained in the tornado path, which seemed to follow along the towns on the Mass Pike. Susan

Hello Deanna, Well, that was mighty nice of you to take all those plants. It never occured to me that there would be so many plants left over. If you truely don't want those plants you listed, I would be happy if you saved me the pink phlox lady's mantle, jacob;s ladder, blue cardinal flower, a moon Beam Coreopisis, and the perenial sunflower. It must have taken you forever to plant all of that! I have been wickedly busy trying to make new beds for next season's garden before the ground freezes. We were in Portsmouth last sunday evening and watched huge snowflakes dance about. I never saw snow in October before. It seems to me that Old Man Winter might be telling us something! I hope all your raking is done! I have so many leaves, I will be raking until it snows. But it is good to have so many becasue I need them to help build the beds. Good thoughts that you and your family have a happy and fun halloween! See you next June. Blake
