Hi Everone :) My Internet and email is completely down at home, they're going to have to come out and trench to lay new cable sometime this week. It's driving me crazy to not have my email!!! Anyway, I'll be sending out directions and info about the trade in April, so just keep posting here and i'll get directions sent out when my email at home is up and running again. Until then, please be patient with me :) Happy Gardening, Andi Here is a link that might be useful: Andi's Garden Page

Since people will probably want them, I'll bring all Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) divisions and Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) volunteers that I can. So far I've only seen 2 spicebushes, but I'm hoping I'll come across more. Please let me know about the other plants though, since I may or may not bring enough for you otherwise (Lisa, Ellen, and sugar_magnolia, I'll bring the plants you mentioned for yourselves--creeping phlox , Japanese maples, and evergreen azaleas respectively). You dont need to reply for those unless youre not interested). Dana, let me know what youre interested in. (in case itll make you feel better, if you used to use the name danaNJ, Im still enjoying some of the plants you gave me 2 summers ago! Go ahead though, even if you're not.)

The website is back up and going. The Swap Forum is also working, but everyone will have to re-register and all the old data is lost. I went to very great efforts to try to keep the old data, but was unfortunately unable to do so (more details can be found on the website, if you want to know more). I hope everyone will re-register! The site's email functions are not working yet, so please be patient and I will try to approve users ASAP (at least once per day).

I'm in need of help identifying a couple of plants. The first one was purchased a few years ago as a oak hydrangea. Well, that's definitely not what this is. It has never bloomed. My issue now is whether it is a shrub, tree or what. It's pretty. :-). The second picture is an herb. I purchased it last spring but can't remember what it is. Any help would be appreciated.
