WANTED: Ft Worth Autumn Swap Nov 1 2014 "Save the Date"
Comments (1)Oops! We've been doing this for so long that I forgot to put in the directions & guidelines! The Swap is at Trinity Park in Ft Worth: From I30 on the western edge of downtown Ft Worth, go north on University & take the first right turn into the park. Follow the lane around til you see people & plants! We usually try to set up near the pavilions at the farthest part of the park, but sometimes those are occupied & we ad-lib. We start around 9 AM & stay as long as we want (usually around 1 PM we're all ready to take a nap...) You can bring a dish to share (see the trade thread). Guidelines are loose & general & commonsense: Don't take anything unless/until the person who brought it says you can. It has happened that people will think they've got a trade worked out before the swap, a pre-trade, but there's a misunderstanding about what each person actually has. Maybe your David Austin Rose is in a 1 gallon pot, & you think you're getting a 1-gallon apricot seedling for it, but it turns out that the apricot is an apple! or the apricot is a pit with a sprout emerging from it. If you don't want to complete the trade *for any reason*, all you have to do is say you don't want to complete the trade. If someone tells you, "I don't want to complete the trade", smile & say you're sorry, & trade your item to someone else. Do not bring sticks in dirt to the swap & claim that they're plants! This has only happened a couple of times, but it's not right, it's not nice, & if you do it, you have to leave the swap. (It's not likely that this will happen; we've all been trading for so many years that we take it for granted that nobody we know would do something like this.) Trade fairly. You can trade anything for anything you like, as long as both parties are in agreement; if you want to trade your cow for a package of magic beans, you may do so, but please do not try to make someone trade you their cow for your magic beans! We aren't doing the prize/gift drawing this year, but if you want to being a "prizelike" something to trade, please do so! Examples: garden art garden junk nice books pictures/drawings/illustrations clogs tools vases/decorative pots birdhouses etc. What have I forgotten? I know I've forgotten something... Somebody please remember it & add it to this thread!...See Morewanted: ft worth autumn 2009 swap rules / *new* location / other
Comments (5)If I could add one suggestion. For the traders that come after you get there, they are trying to unload and set up, please give them a chance to set up and get their mind together before you attack. You could hep them by helping them unload and then give them a few minutes to enjoy before the trading begins and not everyone hit them at once. Just a suggestion I hope helps.

Comments (28)Abarbie4me2, I put the Herniaria Glabra seeds and the black & blue salvia in a box for you! I've been pleasantly surprised by my little baby HGs this summer. I started them with the plan of planting them between stepping stones, I just never got around to getting the stepping stones in place, so mine have just stayed in containers all summer. I failed to water them for 3 weeks in August, but they survived and perked right back up after I gave them a little drink! The only thing they don't seem to like is full afternoon sun. Oh, and the packet has 200 seeds, not 50. Bonus! Sylvia, I too am getting excited. Am about to run out and get you some Folgers Black Silk. Thanks in advance for digging up your cannas! Also, my inner rose addict is curious... Are any of your rose cuttings from the SA swap St. Cecilia by any chance?...See MoreFt Worth Autumn Fall Swap October 15 2016 Trade Thread
