Florida Gardening

Thinking about a plant swap

Now, before we go any further, I'm just thinking about hosting one. My garden is in Boca Raton, west of 441 (what we call East Naples). I'm thinking the last weekend in September or the middle of October, the peak of hurricane season (what we call tempting fate).

Tell me what you think, what day - Saturday or Sunday, and which is a better idea - September or October.

The heat is a bit milder in October so I'll vote for that. Saturday's are good for me.

I used to live in W Boca & my wife grew up there. Count us in!

I would love to attend! I've only been hanging around here for about a year, is that OK? I'm in Cooper City. What types of things do you swap? Rare plants? I'm just getting things going but I have a few goodies. I can cook real Italian though!
