going to be loading my car as well soon, just in case we get some rain - I would like everything to be in there, I have other things I did not mention before - plants that is, that I am bringing too- sure there will be people there who are just starting- and I started doing clippings and now have way too many of some things out here.

Thanks Roselee. I've marked it down. I don't think extra time will help me be more "competitive" since my garden is so new. I truly appreciate the generosity of those whose gardens are more established. Kathy - I'm sorry I missed meeting you at the last one. Love the Brugmansia and the Indigo Spires. Thank you so much. Hope to get to meet you in October. Patty - The dormant Canna has leafed out and looks great. Tonya and Heather - Thanks so much. and I'll try to post some pics of my new plants in the yard soon. --Shirley

wow. Couldn't believe I was seeing this correctly ! You're on the ball, Shirley ! Something to look forward to, that's for sure ! patty

This was my first swap and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed getting to meet everyone! You are a great bunch of people which really made it a wonderful experience; I am definitely looking forward to the spring swap when I will actually have stuff to contribute. I'm very, very grateful to all of you who so generously shared plants - and ideas & information - with me even though I had nothing to swap this time. I was able to get most of my new plants potted up late yesterday, got the rosemary frozen (thanks Sheila!) and will plant the last couple plants today. They all look great! Thanks again ~ Jo Ann
