I would also like to ask for any garden type stuff-old leaky buckets, troughs, tubs, sinks; stuff no longer useful except as a planter. I'd swap some cool stuff to get a bit old drysink. I have only one and it is the most useful thing I have. Came with a nice rusty stand too. So if you don't have plants, bring what you have-antlers, rocks, et al! I will bring the stuff I have (unless something comes up, which, alas, it often does......

I'll be bringing some garden junque and lots of seeds!

I intend to bring day lilies, iris, coreopsis, 1 mexican mint marigold, and maybe some native verbena.

maden, how many people have said they are coming?

HAVE: I'll be bringing potted horseherb and wood sorrel (oxalis) bulbs.

More to come soon!

Ooh, what color are the daylillies?

Rock rose
Baby Purple Coneflower
Couple of colors of Salvia greggii

Maybe more, can't think of anything else right now

Jolana,

The day lilies are the traditional pale orange. Nothing fancy. They have been growing at the house I grew up in for about 40 years. I dug them up from that house and brought to my mom (who planted them to begin with), about 18 years ago I guess. Then she brought some to me a year or two ago. So, kind of a neat lineage.

What color Iris are you bringing? I'm bringing the deep dark purple kind that you are always asking rcnaylor about. At least, they look very similar. Want some?

You are bringing a lot! I'm just bringing a little. Didn't have tons to begin with, then I fell a couple of days ago and I think I may have a broken rib. UGh, lol.

OMG, are they wrapped? You didn't go to the DR? Bad girl

They are the Afterglow and if I get around to it, old yellows ones, but can't promise.
Most of my plants are babies but grow fast
You have the irises like RC, he never did tell me what their names were, LOL
I would love some. What do you want in return?
jolana

Hey girlie,

I really don't want anything in return. I will put your name on the irises and if you have anything leftover from the swap, I will pick from that! I love wine cups, but understand if they are all spoken for.

No, I didn't go to the dr. yet. I think think they would just poke me and say, "Yeah, you have a broken rib." So what's the use in the trip and the 30 dollar copay? Wine seems to help, lol. I never knew that wine was a pain killer!!! If it really is a broken rib, I don't think I can stay drunk for the 2 months it takes to heal! Anyway, at least I can get my dh to do the weeding!!!!!! LOL I'm to "sickly" to do it right now. :)

Look forward to seeing you!

Tammy

LOL, well, whatever helps, I guess
I will get you some winecups. DH mowed today so they might be butchered but will spring back, LOL
Anything else? Did you want some of the irises? They have been stored but the rhizomes are still hard and healthy

Hey, Jolana, you can just "fluff up" the wine cups, and they will be good to go. LOL.

Hehehehe, hey why didn't I think of that, LOL
That'll work, hehehehe

Sure, I'd love some irises. I don't know what my dark purple ones, like rc has, are named.

That's okay that they are named, pretty is pretty, LOL

Hey, by the way, I have some snow white iris. They have a slightly yellow beard. Do you want some of those? Didnt really think of offering them because I thougth they were so common. But, if you want some white, I will bring some. They usually bloom in February.

My MIL got all of my white, LOL
so yes, lol

What are y'all bringing to eat?

I'm just bringing cheesecake with a berry topping. Hoping you all like that! lol. If not, it's just more for my hubby to eat! He as a sweet tooth the size of Dallas! What were you thinking of?

I don't know,something that will keep, LOL

You know what? I went to bed thinking of the cheesecake and have thought about it several times since I woke up, lol
I don't make it anymore since DH's Dr would kill me if I did

Maden, I just want to thank you for doing this and I'm so looking forward to meeting you
jolana

lol, I almost decided to bring something else! Glad I stuck to it. But, it's store bought. Hope that's ok. See ya tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to meeting whoever shows up!

I won't be able to come tomorrow after all. Had family come in town tonight unexpecteldy. Anyone I promised cuttings to can email me with their address and I will mail them. Sorry I can't go but maybe I will be able to make one of the others soon.

Jolana, you have mail! :)

I had emailed for directions and general info but never heard back from anyone. I am really interested in going to the next one. Can someone tell me when it might be and where? My email is dianne_gulley@sbcglobal.net.

Hello, I am new to this forum and am interested in the garden swap. How did it fare? I would like to participate next Spring but need some idea on the success of it all (how much to actually pot up). Thanks!
