9 years ago

Hello, this is Annie's daughter Becky. We will be having her annual
spring swap on Sunday June 7th, 2015, in Goffstown NH. All are welcome.
We will be serving coffee and pastries at 1000.
Plant swap starts at 1100.
Pot Luck luncheon will begin at 1200. We will be making French Onion
Soup and baguettes again this year. If you plan to stay for lunch please
bring something to share with the group.
Please post what you are bringing to the pot luck. What you have to trade and what you are looking for your garden.
We look forward to seeing everyone in a couple weeks!
Becky
If you need the address or have any questions please feel free to email me at awacsflygrl@gmail.com or call my cell phone (405) 818-1904

PS Annie isn't too much into gardening anymore... but she loves having "parties" at the farm! I need help thinning out her flower gardens so bring your pots and your shovel and if there is anything you want and it needs thinning, its yours!!

Sounds like a fantastic retreat to New Hampshire for the day. I'll keep you posted about my availability because I'd love to bring some plants for trade.

This will be our first time to Annie's swap and look forward to meeting you all! Besides the standard; Native low bush blueberry And Daisies (of which we have an abundance) Happy to dig up as much as you desire! We will bring; Silver Fountain grass Maiden grass Spearmint Sun Drops (still some we dare to move, getting close to flowering time) I also have 2 Forsythia's I will dig up for a good home (3rd year and strong) I prune back my forsythia to keep them more like a bush vs long and stringy. We had a rather nice Scottish Broom that didn't survive the winter and hope to find something we can replace it with..

Marlene, Cindy, Kathy, It was my pleasure to host the swap and we will do it again next year as well. I can't believe that the weather turned out to be the way it did, nor rain, sun and a few clouds, but I could have done with out all the humidity. And to think, at 6:30AM this morning I was sitting here trying to decide who to scream at first for pushing me to go with today for the swap. It was storming for the 4th time since 1AM this morning and the weather maps where showing a wall of rain and storms heading in. Who would have thought we would luck out the way we did. Glad you had a good time, we do have a wonderful group of gardeners that come every year to the swap and keep adding and adding to the selection of plants and seedlings every year. Marlene, I will email you if I find any more pots that Michelle could use, and you should tell her to start checking out the yard sales whenever she can. She will be amazed at the pots she can find that way and the prices are really a steal. Kathy, I checked some of the pics in the link and those flowers still didn't look like the one you gave me last year and I got seeds from. Happy planting to all of you and happy gardening. How about some pics of the plants and seedlings when they bloom and thrive in their "new homes'. Hint, Hint Kathy, "new homes". Fran

Sheri, the Amaranth has been added to your package. Dawn, I am giving away my extra commercial seeds. I'll add the peppermint stick zinnias to your package. I think you should send xtra postage. I have a lot of collected seeds from your list that I will send if a commercial packet doesn't come in. These DO NOT count towards your swap seeds, they are freebies. If you don't care to receive wish list collected as extra please let me know.

When the snow melts and the ground thaws I'll be more able to tell what I'm bringing. So glad this event is happening again! I've missed it!

Two weeks from tomorrow! We're so excited. We will be making some scones and muffins for the early arrivals (and LOTS of coffee and water) and for lunch french onion soup. We had four trees cut down around the house that were dying and have been playing catch up with the gardens after getting all the twigs out of the lawn. Everything is popping up and boy do they need to be thinned! Bring your gloves (we have TONS of pots up in the barn) and come take what you want (within reason.. lol).

Look forward to seeing everyone soon.

Looking forward to seeing everyone and especially Annie and her wonderful daughters. Thanks so much for having of us there--a great reunion! Cutting down some trees will really open up your space and bring in lots of light around the house. We'll show up with gloves and shovels. I'll be bringing some chinese dumplings and a dipping sauce for the table. For plants I'll have some primula japonica (Miller's crimson) and some variegated foilage plant that I can't think of the name of right now. Also, some canterbury bells and some evening primrose. See you all on the morrow.

We had a wonderful time at Annie's! We were able to renew friendships, get some wonderful plants and come away with full bellies. Thanks so much for a great swap. Here are some pics for everyone...

Tree was almost two hundred years old, but very rotted inside...

Liz, Annie, Kathy. Hope to see you all next year!
