Ok, so it won't be either of those days--neither the 13 nor the 20th. BUT IT CAN BE JUNE 27TH at my place in north Edmonds/ north Lynnwood/ south Mukilteo area. Specifically the Picnic point/ Norma beach area of unincorporated Snohomish county. Either Lisa or I will send out specific directions to those who respond they are coming closer to the date. I should start another thread for folks to respond to. PNWJudy aka plantknitter

Hi everyone. It's time again for the next secret swap (as long as it doesn't get too hot). The last one was a hit-hopefully this one will go great too. The deadline to sign up will be midnight August 29th. When signing up, please email me your real name, email address and your GW name. I'll post the rules again in the next few days. Every Canadian is welcome as long as you have a healthy hosta to share. Happy swappin' to all. Hostalover-2008

Lori- I know I'm not far from you but I'll need your address as well, so send it my way too! THanks! If I can help let me know. I am close enough I could bring a few bags of ice if you need. When you send the email I'll send my phone number in case something comes up. TOM - I forgot to get my lime seedling from you and my wand at Silvia's so if you don't forget this time I'd like to pick them up from you. Sorry! Barbie

Are we sure there weren't any before then? The gardenweb domain was registered in Oct. 1995. I remember exchanging seeds with people in 1996 and 1997. I think there was talk of some kind of get-togethers back then, perhaps in Fredericksburg, VA. I had a different ID back then. I used the site from 96 to 99 or so, then stopped using it until 2003. There was a woman in Fredericksburg, I think her name was Lisa or Julia, who must have been quite a plantswoman because she talked about growing things that almost nobody else was growing back then, like Genista aetnensis. I have the strangest impression the site was part of garden.com back then. Garden.com of course, folded, but they might have sold the discussion board to someone else. Or it could just be that garden.com had a messageboard that reminded me of this one. Funny enough ivillage is owned by NBC so General Electric is now the registrar of the site. This has to be running some of the oldest CGI code on the internet because almost nothing has changed about it since those days.
