Ciao all- Ok, I think I've got all of this straight, but I wanted to put it all in one place so I have it for tomorrow. These are my trades as I know them: With Wildflower: Giving: golden raspberries, red rubin basil, strawberries, peppers Getting: peonies, asparagus With Thehills: Giving: golden raspberries, +/- strawberries Getting: purple/blue iris, 2 year rooted red currants, blue queen salvia With HomeMommy: Giving: heirloom tomatoes, strawberries Getting: double decker coneflower, mini rose, +/- blue/purple clematis With Skraps: Giving: heirloom sauce tomatoes, I'm not the one with the datura swirl..I can't grow daturas because I have pets and a young child. Have a look at all the other stuff I'm bringing because heirloom tomatoes were all I had from your wants list. Getting: Anna Bell hydrangea, +/- bleeding hearts, +/- lady's mantle, +/- pink columbine With Sunita: Giving: yellow yarrow, pink soapwort, +/- purple violets Getting: we hadn't discussed a trade and I've totally forgotten what you're bringing, so I'll have to look that up and ask you in a follow-up post. The +/- things are either me being confused or a trade not confirmed, so any of you who are trading with me and you see a +/- thingie next to the stuff I either asked about or we both did, just confirm if that's what you want or if it's cool that I get what I asked for. Does that make sense? Sheesh, I'm getting more confused as I write this!

Pixie Lou, you have a lot of nice lilies. I only have a few because of the RLLB. I just couldnâÂÂt keep them clean if I had too many. As it is, the âÂÂOraniaâ this year looked fine until after it bloomed I noticed the foliage has a fair amount of holes in it. You canâÂÂt cut the stalks back to the ground after blooming, right? I would like to have enough to smell them in the house, but nope. The âÂÂOraniaâ does make the whole front walkway a very pleasant trip when they are blooming. And thanks, glad the comparison of peppers was interesting. I think growing hot peppers does make a difference, they seem to be a more vigorous and shapely shrub that produces more and smaller peppers. The large sweet peppers seem to be more difficult to get more than a few per plant. Thyme2dig, what a pretty daylily border! IâÂÂm not always pulled to purchase a daylily and some of that is the way I see them being used. The way you have planted them all together that way without competition from other plants and with that great shrub border behind it, I really like it a lot. What is that dark shrub in photo #3? And is that Nasturtium at the base of your purple tripod? Jane, I donâÂÂt blame you about the FarmerâÂÂs Market next year. I took a couple of yearâÂÂs off from the vegetable garden and I missed it and here I am still doing it. :-) But is this year an exception? I think some years are not the greatest and this year just wasnâÂÂt. IâÂÂm going to try to salvage some of the season and go for some fall crops of Broccoli and Lettuces and Kale and other greens. This weekend IâÂÂm probably going to start. I have three squash plants without a squash between them. *sigh* Spedigrees, thatâÂÂs a good looking lily and the foliage is a lot cleaner than mine. :-)

I must apologize that some plants are just in bags instead of pots since it started raining on me this evening. Also, I am bringing: celadine poppy wineberry (like a raspberry) Black Pearl pepper (I think) for people to take pepper pods for seeds. In the truck are the following for each person: april_h_o/April - Oakleaf hydrangea (just ripped out of ground), Euphorbia (mole plant) naked ladies (red spider) burwoodbelle/Pat - Lotus, Lenten Rose (sorry no Luxury Lace) Columbia Stock/Wanda - "pardon me" "Siloam Double Classic" Connie - amsonia huebrechia (sinced you asked nicely) grape hyacinths (please put me on the list for "Black Stockings" for the next swap and we'll figure out what I can bring you) new-gardener123 - redbud tn_veggie_gardner-grape hyacinths Hope I remembered everyone. See you in the morning! Evelyn/Irisaddict
