Hi everybody, Thought I would take a minute and make a suggestion.....how about everyone that plans on attending the swap, post here and list a few of the plants/seeds you plan on swapping, that fall in these catagories...... 1.Most special (something that reminds you of someone, something passed down in your family etc.) 2. Largest or smallest plant 3. Strangest/Most unique 4. Most fragrant 5. Odd/Prettiest color 6. Interesting foliage Also list a few of the things you've been looking for that have so far eluded you. Posting on here a few things that you plan to bring and what you're looking for will give others a chance to see if they have something you want and vice versa. So, don't forget to list what you're looking for and what you are bringing......You never know who might have that special something. I just found out today that one of the Master Gardeners in my area is going to put the info about my swap on the Master Gardener website and in the Master Gardener newsletter this week. That should help to spread the word..... Micky

Meow! Two boxes arrived today! And Dad told me last night that we were only waiting on one. Well, in his defense, he was pretty drugged up. He came home with a tired achey back, so I slipped some catnip into the margarita he had with dinner. What a combination! It always gets my fur in a tizzy...lol! You've all been great to play with, even you humans weren't too bad! LOL! I need to go take my late-afternoon nap, so I'm going to let my lovely assistant take over and do some accounting. She'll figure out if everyone has received their box or not. If everyone has, then she'll close out the swap. I do have one question before we end though. Would anyone like to meet back here towards the end of the summer and have a perennial swap? I'll host again if so. Let me know, and stay tuned. You never know what's going to happen next! Happy Purring & Slobbering! (had to include the canines, right?) -Bump the Magnificent, otherwise known as His Majesty =========================================================== Now, doesn't that figure? There's work to be done, and "His Majesty" walks off and leaves me to do it! Hiss! Spit! Meowr! Don't you worry, I'll get him! TRUST ME!!! ***sigh*** Meowrr, so you humans need me to tell you if everyone has received their box in this swap? Well, give me a few minutes, and I'll let you know. Let's seee..... Dan sends to dem_pa sent/received ishareflowers sends to poisondartfrog sent/received wispfox sends to lindaruzicka sent/received jlee160 sends to ishareflowers sent/received dem_pa sends to wispfox sent/received gardencraze sends to mchill320 sent/received micyrey sends to jlee160 sent/received poisondartfrog sends to dan_the_mailman sent/received Linda sends to gardencraze sent/received mchill320 sends to micyrey sent/received And there you have it. Everyone sent and received a box of goodies, and I must say, there were some very interesting boxes! Put your paws together and give yourselves a nice round of applause! As Bump mentioned before he ran off (the old goat), we're thinking of hosting a perennial exchange, probably posting it around the first of August with everyone mailing out their boxes towards the end of August or first week of September, which should give all those nice juicy plants plenty of time to settle in before winter comes. What do you think? Wishing you all a happy, fun-filled summer... -Stella, Her Royal Highness

I have someone from VA Beach area that would like to come but needs a ride. Since a few folks from that area have emailed for directions I thought I'd post here in case theres anyone that may have an extra seat in their vehicle. Please email me at hosta at comcast.net if you can help. Thanks!
