6th annul billerica spring plant swap, final details
Comments (57)Thank you everyone for coming. It was an experience with the rain, wasn't it? But, yes it was preferable to me to, over the heat and humidity that we've had last year and some other years as well. So much for trusting the weather forecasters to be correct when you need them to be. But, everything turned out well, even with the heavy rain, and we did have the carport to keep going under to get out of it. It was nice meeting you Suzanne, Silvia and Dan and Susan. I'm sure you will all take good care of those new seedlings and plant divisions. Susan, I'm glad you where able to get some of the plants in the ground. It rained here until about 3:30 and after that, the bugs where just horrible. Those foxgloves should bloom for your mother next year. I did get the house plants your brought me potted up today. Oh, Michelle, her husband and daughter did come around 1:30-2pm or so and was just thrilled with all the perennial plants. containers and pots to take home for next years charity plant sale for Children's Hospital. She said to tell everyone "thank you". Now if the ground will just dry up a little bit, and the rain stop for a few days, I can get the rest of my own plants, seedlings and those I got from the swap in the ground. Oh, and the weather really wasn't any better this morning either. It poured her this morning as well. Such is the life of a gardener, and we can't control the weather. At least we all know that we can have a successful swap, with lots of fun, good company and good food, even in the rain. Hope everyone has a wonderful summer, their new plants do well for them and we will plan on another swap here next spring. Love to hear from everyone as to how the plants do this summer.

Comments (51)Thank you everyone for a fun afternoon! It was great meeting all you friendly gardeners and putting faces to screen names. Faith, your backyard is an inspiration! Thanks for all the irises that people set aside for me. I got about half of them in the ground over the weekend, now to wait out the rain for the rest. Looking forward to watching everyone's new plants grow, more fun chat and the fall swap!...See MoreSpring swap 2024
Comments (11)Hi Cat! Good to see you around here! I don't have time to do anything about this right now, but a month or more ago arborwolf/Camille, in a private email to TreeBarb, was asking about a spring swap, and offered to host it at her house again this spring--where it was last spring! If you have time maybe you could go to her "fall swap" post below and then go to her page and PM her if she still wants to host it--and that she could come post on your thread here to get it started if she still does!?! I have my Spring Trip coming up in May, but if I'm on the right side of the mountains whenever it winds up being, I'll be there! Gotta go, Skybird SA 03.10.24 @ 1240 MDT...See Morellgarden
