I'd be interested if it was a Sunday or holiday Monday. Thanks!!!

I'd like to participate! Prefer Sunday. I have perennials to share. Will be glad to see again GardenWeb gardeners!

I'm in the Markham area. I had posted on here about an east end swap but my post was deleted so i guess Im driving out to the West end instead. Sundays are also better for me. i have lots of pots to trade too.

Hello All!

So, are we swapping? Does anyone have any date suggestions? I think we should wait until after May 24, just to be safe from frost. I know I sound like a wimp, but it's cold out there today!

How does everyone feel about Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 10 a.m.?

Does anyone have a location preference? I'm suggesting the same spot as last year (the parking lot behind sobey's at Kipling and Queensway), because it worked so well last spring, but I'm open to your suggestions.

Let me know what you all think! Let's get this show on the road!

Nadia

Once again, I'd be in! J

I would be interested but I am away on June 1 to 6th.

AM

AM's not available June 1. How are people with June 8?

Hi, You may want input from those on the conversation side

Here is a link that might be useful: hope it works -TO west swap

I answered the discussion side of the West End exchange plants post, and I think May 18 is a good time, June 1 or 8 may be too late. It is a Sunday, so it is good for me.
I attended last year and it was a great exchange, lots of plants for everyone.
The place that was held last year is ok.

Ciao all-

I agree with wildflower, June seems late to me. Let's try for either May 18 or the following weekend.

Hi, I would be interested in joinig you on Sunday June 2. I have ground covers and perennials for exchange.

Hello everybody!
So, are we going to do it? I have a couple of lilies which I need to find a loving home for. Anybody interested? May 18th sounds good to me.
Lana

Oh so THIS IS WHY no one is replying on the discussion side? THANK YOU for letting us know on that side, which was where all the posts were about swaps last year.

Frankly, I gave away much better plants that what I received last Spring, (weeds mostly) so I will continue trading with the folks I've come to know locally and there was a fabulous swap today and so I'm tapped out anyhow.

Enjoy the fun and thanks for the consideration.

It's a shame that there's been some redundancy in creating threads but (for Saralee & others who are annoyed) I will say that this forum is EASILY the worst I have ever used in terms of being able to find & search threads... so please don't blame those who are trying hard to organize something and looking forward to swapping. :-)
(Can't we all just get along? :-)))

I think a tally would be useful to make sure there are enough people interested - from both threads!

Looks like this coming Sunday - May 18th - is looking best for everybody. Who can make it?

From the above, and the other thread, it looks like the following could participate on that date:
~ Me
~ Lana/Lanakolo
~ Sorellina
~ Wildflower_2
~ Violetta

Not sure - PLEASE post here (on THIS thread!) ASAP to let us know!:
~ Nadia_smiles?
~ amcorrigan?
~ Bo/carsbrook?
~ Cherylnpickering?
~ mari11?
~ Ninjakaren?
~ jroot?

Anyone else - feel free to RSVP for THIS coming Sunday, May 18!

Have emailed all those with "emailable" IDs. Apologies to those I couldn't reach! Please RSVP here. I'll bookmark it and return to tally the RSVPs later this week!!! Hope to see you-all on Sunday. (I'll be the super-shy one with the cute kids in the tiny beat-up white Hyundai)

Hi all,

Yes, Sunday, May 18, 2008 is good for me. Please count me in!

I would love to do this but not sure if I could make it for the 18. Can you please let me know the location and Time

I guess we're aiming for 10 a.m., and as Nadia said above, the same spot as last year (the parking lot behind Sobey's / Zellers at Kipling and Queensway).
Hope we get a few more in!

Sorry, I can't make it on the 18th. I have a house full of guests. Too bad though, as I have a LOT of extra dahlias and cannas.

I would be interested in either Sunday or Monday.

I have some Red Magic, Missouri Beauty, Tetrina's Daughter, and Stella D'Oro daylilies, some Only the Lonely nicotania seedlings, and some Obedient Plant. I have other stuff but I just can't think of them right now. Only the Lonely is a great annual, 6 feet tall, 6 inch tubular flowers that are very fragrant and the leaves are huge. I also have some castor bean plant seeds that are not too late to plant.

I am looking for hosta, daylily, fern, and brug.

UPDATES!

YES:
~ Me - I can offer a small hosta piece for a daylily!
~ amcorrigan
~ Nadia_smiles

NO:
~ jroot

Potentially YES but haven't heard back: :-(
~ Lana/Lanakolo
~ Sorellina
~ Wildflower_2
~ Violetta

NOT SURE:
~ skraps
~ Bo/carsbrook?
~ Cherylnpickering?
~ mari11?
~ Ninjakaren?
~ jroot?

Keep sending those RSVPs for THIS coming Sunday, May 18!

I have to add here - I hate to rain on this parade, but if we don't have at least five confirmed YESes, and even possibly 8, it might not be worthwhile... in which case, I'll have to bail on y'all. Sorry! :-(

Ciao all-

We can make this event, but I'm not sure at this point what I will have to trade now. Our landlords hired some "landscapers" to mow the lawns and "edge" around the front garden beds. The reality that transpired amounted to tilling seedlings under and weed-whacking daylilies, bulb flowers, poppies, dianthus, lupines, and general havoc wreaked on the garden. If anything, I'll be looking for sympathy and extras. I'd love some non-orange daylilies and other perennials that don't require digging up in the Fall. I'm still hoping sydseeds materializes because I'd really love some bleeding hearts for the shady area along the side of the house.

Hi
My original intent was only to direct interest to Violetta's post on the conversation side. I'll be out of town. Have fun
Cheryl

Hello everyone!
I am still available to come, for May 18 Sunday.

I have peonies, if anybody is interested and many other perennials too many to mention, so I am just going to bring an assortment.

I also have heirloom tomatoes, if anybody wants some,

10:00 am is good for me.

I will be there on 18th. I will post my list later tonight.
Wildflower, your peonies are great! if you have more, I will be happy to get some. And any pots!

Hello everyone!
I posted list of my plants on my member exchange page. Take a look and let me know if you're interested in anything.

I am looking for hostas, peonies,lungwort, tulips (I have only purple and red, so all other colors welcome: yellow,orange,pink and bi-colored) and POTS!

If you want to contact me, please, email to marina12(at) rogers.com. Or call 416-907-6756.
Marina.

DAILY UPDATES!
OK, a small complication... turns out I have something happening in Thornhill for my daughter's school first thing in the morning. Funny how they never tell you these things 'till the last minute. Apparently, is NOT optional. :-(

And then I have to work at noon, so I don't know if I'll be able to make it. :-(((

Still, there are 5 yes's, even without me. Check back tomorrow night for a final tally.

YES:
~ amcorrigan
~ Sorellina
~ Nadia_smiles
~ mari11
~ Wildflower_2

NO:
~ Me - still have hostas; still want daylily... maybe a private swap?
~ jroot
~ Cherylnpickering

Potentially YES but haven't heard back: :-(
~ Lana/Lanakolo
~ Violetta

NOT SURE:
~ skraps

Hello there,
Sorry, was out of town and did not pick my messages.
Yes, I will be there on Sunday, 10 AM? is that the time.
I will have some perenials to offer.
See you there. Hope we can all make it happen.
Violetta

Final count - sorry I dropped the ball last night:
YES:
~ amcorrigan
~ Sorellina
~ Nadia_smiles
~ mari11
~ Wildflower_2
~ violetta

Again, I apologize for not being able to make it... with 6 people, you should have enough to have a bit of fun and I am downright SAD that I cannot be there after all. :-(((
Maybe I'll try for next year / fall? Or private swaps...

Enjoy!

Jennifer

In case anybody is still subscribed to this thread since last year... I'm organizing another swap for this coming May (2009).

Please visit my blog / site (link below) for more details.

Thanks!
