I should have the following, mostly in small quantities: Agastache 'Blue Delight' seedlings in 4-packs. Resembles 'Blue Fortune' Aquilegia (columbine), 2d year plants, blue flowers, 3.5" pots Amsonia hubrictii (Arkansas bluestar), 2d year seedlings (only 2 of these) Aster tataricus (Tatarian aster), divisions, 4" or quart pots. Belamcanda chinensis (Blackberry Lily), 3.5" pots Galanthus nivalis (snowdrops), at least 50 mixed-sized bulbs per trade, more than half of blooming size Geranium, seedlings of 'Claridge Druce' probably, 3.5" pots Geranium 'Biokovo,' small divisions Helleborus x hybridus (lenten rose), several dozen 1st year seedlings in 4- and 6-packs and a few 2d year seedlings in 3.5" pots. Parent plants are white, rose, & purple. Nandina domestica, 2d year seedlings, about 6" tall. Unnamed parent plants have reached about 4 feet. Nepeta (catmint). Unknown variety, compact & low-growing, purple flowers. 4" pots. Pulmonaria (lungwort), 3.5" pots. Seedlings of 'Mrs. Moon' (I think) Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susan), divisions, quart pots, unnamed, orange flowers, reach about 2 ft. for me. Salvia guaranitica (the species, not 'Black and Blue'), small divisions Salvia reptans (upright form), small 2d-year plant (only 1) I can dig these if anyone wants them, but won't pot up: Helianthus 'Flore Pleno' Tradescantia (spiderwort), mostly cobalt blue and purple-blue shades Ditchlilies Email sfmiller AT umd DOT edu in case the GW mail system is wonky.

Haves: I'm waaaay behind the digging curve here, BUT will take a look at some of the want lists and see what I can bring. I think my gweb mail works but in case it doesn't, email me at LynneinMD AT gmail DOT com... Anyone want some miscanthus? I have plant sale leftovers in (I think) 2-gallon pots. Sedum (I don't think it's 'Autumn Joy' but it's similar. Possibly 'Autumn Fire', from the pics I've found online) Sedum 'Dragon's Blood' Sedum 'Tricolor' Dianthus 'Frosty Fire' which is a hot-ish pink, not the red on the tag (not that I care, but I know that some do...!) California Poppy (I think...I planted these as seeds last year and have new plants in the same place..) Creeping Thyme possibly 'Pink Chintz' Rudbeckia Salvia shrub (small pink flowers, no idea which variety) catnip Nepeta 'Walker's Low' Violets Iris - deep dark purple and a whole bunch of surprises.

Trades are getting slimmer. I've been weeding out the plants I don't want over the past few years and haven't got enough of the plants I like to be able to divide much. Hope that changes in a year or two! I can bring: My seed stash 1 black walnut seedling Daylilies (unknown type but definitely not ditch lilies) Mums (yellow) Black eyed susans Grape hyacinth bulbs Lycoris bulbs Small flowered coreopsis seedlings Russian sage cuttings (roots easily in water during the spring) Star of Bethlehem bulbs (can be VERY invasive and is very poisonous to dogs and cats but perhaps in a pot it wouldn't be too bad) Hyacinthoides (wood hyacinth)-white I may not get to dig all of these (time is getting short), so let me know if you want something and I'll make sure I bring it.

Well, Ken said we can't talk about GE, and I have to say that I've had a couple that just won't grow. On the other hand, I have three that are great growers, probably 3 to 4 feet across and just gorgeous! LOL. By the way, I love Liberty and don't have any problem growing it. I think it's one of my top ten favorites! Anyway, I'll mention three plants that have been a nightmare. The first is petasites. Though despised by some gardeners, in my opinion this is an awesome plant when it's given plenty of room and planted in the right location. It looks best in filtered shade with afternoon shade and plenty of moisture. (Otherwise, it will wilt every afternoon when the sun hits it.) Throw some slug pellets under it a couple times throughout the summer. The leaves will get humungous- I've grown some close to 4 feet in diameter. But BEWARE!!! It send out shoots which travel in every direction and grows fast, even in clay and poor soil! You'll have these things popping up all over before you can say "boo" unless you install a fool-proof root barrier to contain it. The second plant that will run you out of house and home is phragmites australis. You won't normally find this in a garden center and there's a reason why!!! This tall grass is commonly seen growing in ditches along the freeway. There is a native specie which is supposedly okay, but I have an introduced specie which has naturalized throughout the midwest that is...well, I'll say INVASIVE!!! I thought that a clump of this would look interesting in my flower garden, so I dug a hole 4 feet wide and 3 feet deep. I lined the sides of the hole with a root barrier (3 feet deep) but neglected to put a barrier on the bottom of the hole. Then I put a clump of this in the center. Later in the summer, I began seeing sprigs of this stuff popping up 6 feet away from the original clump! Hummm...what's going on here? To make a long story short, with a shovel I hand dug 8 yards of dirt out of the center of my flower bed in the process of tracing all the roots that were growing outward in every direction at a depth of 3 to 4 feet!!! I've NEVER, NEVER, NEVER seen a plant grow like that- a nightmare! (While I was trying to dig this thing up, I swore that it was growing faster than I could dig!)Wow, like playing with fire! The last plant, which I'm still fighting a losing battle with, is crown vetch. The Transportation Dept. uses this ground cover on steep banks along the freeway to hold the dirt in place. It loves poor soil and drought conditions! (The only thing that it doesn't like is full shade.) I have it growing all over because the previous homeowner spread a bag of seed to combat soil erosion on the hillsides along my driveway. The stuff is aggressive, hard to kill, and self-seeds in the fall. It makes a continuous mat 3 to 4 feet tall that's just about impossible to walk through it, and strangles out everything in its path including small trees. I don't recommend planting it! Don
