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

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

We never know when a good swap is going to be held and we tend to travel the state to them. If you want to head south in October our best swap-a-que will be hosted by fawnridge and you do not wish to miss his garden and of course his bar-be-gue if you can help it. You get to meet a lot of the people on the forum here and Ricky is the croton king and his garden is out of this world. You get to see how tons of plants can coexist in a small area. Just hang out here, keep reading and you will get to know us and know when swaps are happening. Sometimes we get invited to make person one on one visits and some gardners here have an open door policy to a certain extent about their gardens. Welcome, pull up a garden bench and make yourself at home. Linda

DH just sent a mess of parcels out the other day and commented that I haven't swapped in awhile. Told him the forum friends were itchin for one and out of the blue he suggested having an April Fools Swap. (can you tell he enjoys the swaps as much as I do ??) He said it could be one really cool useful item, one totally frivolous item and one tasty item. Main Entry: friv÷o÷lous Function: adjective Pronunciation: 'fri-v & l-&s, -v&-l&s Etymology: Middle English, from Latin frivolus 1 a : of little weight or importance b : having no sound basis (as in fact or law) 2 a : lacking in seriousness b : marked by unbecoming levity - friv÷o÷lous÷ly adverb - friv÷o÷lous÷ness noun I don't know how foolish it would be but April 1st would give you enough time to research-shop-ship!! Just thought I'd throw the idea out there Come on!!! Lets have some fun!! Cheers! Susie
