Over 35 swappers gathered for the upteenth SAPS. Much appreciation to 'Plantmaven' Kathy and 'Castrogardener' Patty for starting this swap years ago.

It was a bit of a chilly morning in the high 50's but I didn't hear one complaint. NOT ONE!. Everyone was too happy trading plants and catching up on the latest news to be bothered.

Here are photos of many of the participants. I hope there's a photo of everyone who was there. I'll put names if I can read the name tags. So sorry if I didn't get your name.

Can you find Pat in her signature 'Frog Lady' shirt? Oh, and that's Joey's Mom standing next to him. Glad she could come again ...

We surely had a great time swapping and yapping! I dearly love the plants passed along to me. Thank you! And I'm looking foreward to the fall swap. Unless something comes up we're setting the date for Sat. Oct. 18. Mark your calendars. I hope to have an open garden after the fall swap unless someone else would like to open their garden ... :-)

Many, many thanks to 'Honeybunny' Barbra for hosting the swap and getting there early (VERY EARLY -- in the dark!) to secure the free pavilion.

Many of you who've attended before were sorely missed ... :-( Looking forward to seeing y'all next time.

Happy planting!
