I just wanted to see if there was a date for the Fall to get on my calendar. I have a ton of stuff to share.

Saturday October 7th. I've already scheduled 4 or 5 days off work and have hotel reservations. I just cannot make a separate trip for each event. too far to drive and too tiring for us old folks!

I hope it is the same weekend as the Arboretum Distribution, because I have already made reservations for it!

Forgot to say right now i'm trying to whittle my pot ghettos, so i'll try to go light, on requests. But i really could use any flowering size cut flower type of plants for my fair gardens. It would have to be in even numbers (symmetrical design). Multiples are good- i'm looking for splash (but not pink or pastels- more in the reds, yellow, orange, magenta and purple side of things). So if anyone's thinking of pulling out potted stuff to make way for fall things, set some aside for me, pretty please! Doesn't strictly have to be cut flowers, but if they are it's better, since i'm in the veggies section this year. Oh, and i'm full sun. There's only about 2.5 weeks after the swap til the fair so unless it's container grown i don't think it'll have time to perk up if it's dug from the ground. Gangly is fine because i can plant close together.

I was just looking at the calendar and trying to figure out a Saturday. There are fun garden events the last two weekends of Sept so I am now looking at early Oct, maybe even October first. I don't think anyone in the normal crowd is busy with the fair this year... and hopefully the weather will have cooled down a bit by then. I'll go talk to the park people to see which day is available.

Sorry, I was following the other thread and missed seeing the posts here. karen_w - I will bring several different rose cuttings ( I have Pope John Paul, Mardi Gras, Felicia, Hansa, Peach Drift, Easy to Please, Easy Does It, etc, etc) I would love the Pink Pet and Millenium Allium. lorabell_gw -Is the Alpinia hardy here or does it need to be brought indoors? If it can stay outside, please bring some for me. Jaimie - I will bring an Arundo Peppermint Stick and Mardi Gras for you. Bring me anything you like. Fragrant, shade loving are always welcome. But anything is fine.

I've posted the info. Sorry Countrygirl, I now work for the state fair and I'm required to work 7 days a week during October (fair month). After I've been there a while they may let me take an afternoon off in early Oct but I didn't wanna push my luck on my first year (last week was my first week). The shelters were booked on all the other Saturdays in Sept so I had to go with the 23rd.

That's ok, John. Hopefully I can make it next spring. Does this mean you wont make it to the distribution? Maybe I will have to rethink on which weekend to come to Raleigh....

Just wanted to let everyone know, I will not be attending the Fall swap. Plans are to attend the Spring 2018 swap. Gardening is still on my mind. I've been collecting glass forcers for the last year. This weekend, I purchase hycinth bulbs for forcing. I'm giving theses to my co-workers as a winter blues, pick-me-up in January. Always nice to see a flower in bloom in the winter.

See you in the spring. Enjoy the swap!!
