So sorry Judy,
I just got back from a roadtrip to Montana!!! We were camping at Glacier Park...
As for the trade, I haven't yet set a date---what weekend in September works for you, or anyone else who cares to chime in?
Saturday or Sunday is fine, and the latter half of the month works better for me, but I'm flexible. Heck, we can even postpone 'til early October if that'll work better.
Input, people?

Thanks Lisa,
I'm sure I could be back by the 27th of Sept. but Oct 4th would be ok for me ,too.
Judy

Hi Lisa, I hope you had a nice trip. Glacier is such a pretty park. Did you see any bears? The week-end of the 27 and 28 would work for me also. I wouldn't mind having it on a Sunday. I work Saturdays occasionally so Sunday I know for sure I could make it. I am looking forward to seeing your garden. Karen

Hi Karen,
Yes! We saw two grizzlies (from a distance, thankfully) and were able to get pics with a telephoto lens. The waterfalls and wildflowers were incredible this year, due to the heavy snowpack this past winter...
I'm thinking Sunday Sept. 28th is perfect. Judy, does that date work for you? Anyone else have a preference? Doris? Flora? Sure hope you both can make it...

Sept 28th works great for me - gives me 2 weeks to get my new acquisitions sorted after my plant trade, which is scheduled for Sept 13th in Olympia. I'm already sorting through my trade offerings, so whatever doesn't move on Sept 13th will get an encore on Sept 28th. So far, I have:

(12) Escallonia 'Apple Blossom'
(20+) Primrose, fragrant, red w/yellow eye, on short stalk
(30) Impatiens auricoma 'Jungle Gold'(unusual perennial type)
(4) Bergenia
(15) Acer palmatum, seedlings of 'Atropurpurea'
(12) Geranium 'Orkney Cherry'
(12) Abutilon
(3) Alstromeria aurantiaca 'Orange King'
(5) Heuchera villosa 'Caramel'
Plus clumps of shasta daisies (cultivar unknown), daylilies(cultivar and color unknown), Jupiter's beard, and yarrow. Also, some rooted cuttings of forsythia and some hellebore seedlings. Anyone see anything they want?

Lisa: Only a very serious emergency would prevent me from being there. Looking forward to it.

Well, I'm trying to downsize, so I want NO plants! However, I'd love to go to the peninsula side for a day of fun and giving away extra plants. Are you in Poulsbo, Lisa?

Lisa: 28th works really well for me too. I am SO envious about your GNP trip, I wanna see it for myself SOOO badly.
bejoy: I'd love some of the Escallonia. I am not sure what I can offer you in return, but I am seriously dividing a whole bunch of stuff. Do you have any requests??

Then it's a date:

Sunday September 28th
Fall Plant Swap
Poulsbo

Hope to see you all there!!!

Lisa,

Will you please post your last message as a new post announcing the date?
I bet that'll get everone's attention :)

Hi Lisa,
I'll be there!
Teresa

Hi Sedum Gal,
I'll be there. I'm looking forward to seeing your garden and the gang. Will it be potluck, etc?
Elaine

Yay Teresa and Elaine! So glad you can make it...

Yes, let's do the potluck thing.

And good suggestion, Albabela---I'll post the event under a new thread.

I hope everyones' garden is surviving the heat!
