For some reason I haven't been able to log into Garden Web until today, but I want to add my thanks to all who made this swap so much fun -- it was a blast! I brought home aboiut a 1/3 of what I took, but that was fine by me. I got a good look around at everything before we got started, and when I'd gotten the things I was interested in -- I stopped! Learing some discipline in my old age, I guess. A couple of people mentioned the were interested in the Spring Hill Nursery sale in Tipp City. I can't go, but I got an email about it this morning, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Hi Beverly, To answer your Q?, I did go to Darby Creek Nursery,me and my friends went there after the swap. But they didn't have a good sale like they did last fall.We left there almost empty handed.But we had stopped at Shroders off of 71 on our way to the swap and before we got to the swap. They have some really good sales on their plants.That's where we bought most of our plants that day. On our way home we stopped at Seely's. I ended up buying 4 Hostas and Jacquie and her sister Bobbi bought 4 or 5. And we were loaded for bear.LOL I was in so much pain I couldn't hardly stand it. But It was fun.I couldn't unload my car and lucky for me I have some very able friends who don't mind helping or doing for me.Oh!! If I only Had My Legs Back!!! What's this Beverly about you having a Hosta Sale on the 30th? Did you sell them for a business or are they your own??Diane had emailed me with the info and date, But I didn't get the message till after the day of your sale. Sorry I missed it. Hope you did a good business!!! Hope you and Betty had fun at the swap.Fill us in on the Goodies you brought home!! Keep in touch!!

Hi Everyone, Sorry I didn't make it to the swap today.With everything that's been happening and going on with the weather,I totally forgot today is the day.I really was looking forward to seeing you all.We're really trying to clean up everythng and waiting for help getting things back on the house.We have lots of missing shingles to get back on and the back down spout is laying in the back yard still yet,Not to mention pieces of siding blown off are in the far back yard.And of course a very large tree limb thats too heavy for either of us to move plus all the broken tree limbs and trash that comes along with the ride.But we'll get it done.We were without electric and water from Sunday to Wed.I'm very thankful it wasn't any longer then that and no one was hurt.I'm sorry to hear some of you are still in the dark,But know it won't be long now.I'm very grateful to all the workers who gave up time being with their families and loved ones to bring our power back on. I had so many plants to bring today,But like I said"Totally slipped my mind". I guess I will save them for the Spring Swap.I hope to see you all then.I will miss you all so very much!!Hope you had a good one!! I know you did!! I'll be reading when I can get on line to see what you all swapped for and had to eat. Granny57x

diggerb, Thanks for the idea of going to ohio valley gardening, funny, I always thought of that being the southern area of Ohio, WVa, TN and such...I had seen a posting about the big swap in May and thought about going but I am just not sure if I will be able to. I am supposed to be going back to PA for a few days to do some clean-up at the old place. I used to host the spring swap in the area and LOVED doing it, but have very little room for plants here, and afraid I will get depressed with all those plants around needing good homes! I lived in Akron for 7 years before moving to PA, I was in west Akron, not far from Highland Sq., you far from there? Gerry
