A cold frame in zone 7? I'd have fun with fall vegetable gardening in that case. Lettuce, radish, green onions, kale, asian greens, peas, and all the others that don't mind cooler temperatures. You can check out Territorial Seeds. They have a winter gardening section on their webpages to give you lots of ideas - even if you don't buy your seeds from them. BTW, I've had very good results with their seeds. FataMorgana Here is a link that might be useful: Territorial Seed

I love trying new plants. I can try layering both of these clematis for you, I just don't know if they'll be ready in time for the swap, but I can certainly try. As for hostas, the only hostas I have for trade are blue cadet and golden tiara. I also have some nice named daylilies, ted spicer iris, and butter and sugar siberian iris not available. Are you interested in any of these?

Hi Mimi, Wish you could come. Good luck with your swap. Anyone else interested in joining us? We have about 20 people attending and would love to have more. Let me know if you have any questions or need directions. Linda

Murial, your beans will be fine. We have electric at the shelter. Cornbread or corn muffins sounds wonderful. I just wanted to post a note about Door Prizes. Anyone who is interested in bringing a Door Prize will be included in the Door Prize drawing. When I posted the original updated info regarding the Plant Swap, I wasn't sure we were going to do Door Prizes but after talking to Cathy about it, we are going to do them again this year. I always try to paint something for my contribution to the DP's and this year, I will be bringing a hand painted (cover), leather Gardener's Journal. Let me know if you have any questions. Can't wait until Saturday to see everyone! Linda
