I'm a little hesitant on acquiring anything that needs to be shoveled pruned, .....even it's free.

It doesn't have to be shovel pruned. It's just a name I came up with. I start many plants from seeds and propagate cuttings like other gardeners. We have fun swapping plants and talk about gardening.

speaking of this, i have a little (well, maybe 2 foot tall) osmanthus armatus Jim Porter that needs a home. i over planted. as usual. in portland. would love a trade! looking for subshrubs, perennials. http://plantlust.com/plants/osmanthus-armatus-jim-porter/

George,

Bring it to the plant swap! I'm sure someone would love to trade for that, maybe even myself.

If I lived anywhere close, I'd trade for it!

I'm going-it was fun last year and Duane had some very nice and unusual plants that I was happy to get. Yes, I "shovel pruned" my Epimedium sulphureum, but that doesn't make it any less desirable. I have potted up a number of other things so that they will be well adjusted by Apr.: Hostas, variegated and blue-green; Carex "Toffee Twist"; Daylilies "Fairy Tale Pink", & "Canadian Border Patrol"; Aster "September Charm"; Bulbous Oat Grass; Solomon's Seal; Clematis "Hagley Hybrid" and "Mme. Le Coultre
(Marie Boisselot)"

leahikesgardens---so glad you can make it ! It sounds like you have lots to bring. It should be fun.

Duane

agastache apricot sprite, zauschneria/epilobium canun, hydrangea nikko blue, mexican feather grass, gaillardia, lungwort, spanish bluebells, monarda jacob cline, salvia madeline, delphinium pacific giants, lysimachia alexander, spanish lavender, japanese blood grass, salvia regeliana, hakone aureola, hosta, aruncus aethusifolius, tellima grandiflora, heuchera, hakone all gold, ligularia desdemona, monardia gardenview scarlet, brunnera macrophylla and drawings for a few angels trumpets.

For those of you coming to the swap, if you have any nursery pots you would like to get rid of, I'll gladly take them off your hands.(any sizes)

I have quite a bit to bring: white Siberian irises, red daylilies, strawberries, golden hops, variegated euonymus, a lot of unnamed irises (take a chance!), sedum, a lot of singletons - catchfly, lady's mantle, yarrow, hyacinth, small lavender (angustifolia), and a lot of others that I can't remember right now. I hope we have a big crowd. All of mine are freebies, no trade required. Oh, I have some veggie starts, too (cabbage, broccoli, kale, chard, joi choi).

So glad you are coming, It'll be good to see you again !

Bumping up, I hope!!

I hope everyone had a good time at the swap. Thanks to all who came! Everyone seemed to have a great time and left with many plants.
