Hope Everyone is having a nice weekend! Take care!

My first peony is blooming! I'm so happy! Plant dance in the street! Heidi

WOW...Heidi that's absolutely gorgeous!

Swooned at gorgeousness Heidi what kind is it?

Heidi, that's gorgeous. That is such an unusual flower shape. My peonies are all one color. I love them but we get so much rain here that the flowers don't last very long so I tend to cut them and bring them indoors. I vermicompost the petals afterwards.

I'll answer for Heidi...haha

That peony is bowl of beauty.

Lisa

Heidi, That is a gorgeous peony!

Today's Bingo word is Drizzle!

Heidi -- Fantastic peony!

I was surprised myself at how pretty it is. I started to look on the internet for variety names and I think mine is Bowl of Beauty. Can't believe how many different kinds there are. I love them all! Thanks everyone! Heidi

Margo, I came home this evening and your package was waiting by my door. Everything looks great. Thank you for:

Yellow iris (I don't have yellow so very happy to get this)

Grape hyacinth

Lady's mantle

Stonecrop coral carpet (I had no idea about these plants and happy they are hardy in my zone!)

Lime Thyme (Smells great! Looking forward to using this once it grows some.).

Bee balm pink lace (I have read good things about this plant and was thinking about getting it. Now I don't have to!)

Seeds:

Gingseng parsley: I bought seeds of Hamburg parsley so would be interesting to see how they compare.

Balloonflower Astra white (I had been thinking about trying Balloonflower so now I will).

Red bird amaranth

Thank you also for the monkey that looks like a toy but is not a toy (That's what it said on the bottom!)

It was late when I got home but I managed to get all the plants planted in my front yard and watered although it was pretty dark by the time I got done.

Margo, you were so generous. Thank you so much!

Emily, I deleted my response to your first post now that I understand what you meant. Lol. I hope all the plants survive for you snd I'm glad you enjoyed the selection. Margo

TODAY'S BINGO WORD IS: APRIL********

Everyone has sent super boxes this month- Great Job! Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up: I'll be posting the June Swap on Saturday or Sunday. The theme will be Summer School and we'll be celebrating the basics: Reading, Writing and 'Rithmatic!

Amy, this was a fantastic swap, you did a really great job of hostessing - Thank you!

I'm getting all my annual seeds planted today, we finally are getting some warm nights.

Heidi, that peony is gorgeous!

Have a great day, All!

Shirley!

Amy, this was a great swap. Thanks again for taking it for me. It did turn out to be quite a month and you gave me great relief.

My brother in law is having heart trouble. They can't get his heart rate to stay steady so he needs an oblation. Once they get that under control, he will need a pace maker. He has had three surgeries in the last ten years and everything is basically wearing out and there is so much work that needs to be done they said he wouldn't survive it. Unfortunately back at the end of 2015, they told him he had about 3 years before his heart would give up. He is only 68!!!! It really is hard to think of what he is going through. Please put him in your prayers. Thank you.

On a better note, not sure I have told you all that my dil and my daughter are expecting and my daughter is having a girl. They had decided to name her Olivia Ann. I love it and I am so excited.

I hope everyone is having a great start to their week. We are getting some pretty warm temps. It has been unseasonable cold up to now so it seems we skipped right over spring.

Margo

Margo, So sorry to hear about your brother n law but will be praying for him.

Great news about your girls and I love the name Olivia. It is beautiful! Take care and it has been a lot of fun hosting the swap. I was happy to do it! Amy

Shirley, Can't wait for June's swap that sounds like a great theme! We are just waiting on one more box to arrived and we will be complete for May!

Todays bingo word is FLOW!

Enjoy your day! Amy

Hi everyone,

Just got my box. Thanks for sending.

Everything is dead, there's a flower on some sort of grass but the actual plants are all dead.

Oh Connie, that's terrible. I'm sure Jennifer will resend a package..

Lisa,

Jennifer is brand new and stated she didn't have but bananas to trade. Erica posted Jennifer sent the bananas to her to get in our group so Jennifer doesn't have anything left. I don't know who in this group came up with that idea?

I'm hoping Jennifer's sponsor will send me something. I really don't want the new person stressed out after that confusion. She did try.

Jennifer if the sponsor won't step up, don't worry about it.

Connie, many years ago when I was new, I bought plants based on what the theme was and split them with my partner. Where there is a will, there is a way. :)

Connie, the rule is that if someone doesn't send/uphold their end of the swap, their sponsor has to make up the package. That didn't happen here, but you should certainly receive something. The question becomes "Who sends the package?" I think before we chase down the sponsor, Jennifer should try to send something, seeds, a small garden implement, perhaps she could get in touch with you to find out what you would like.

Jennifer, you aren't the first to have this happen and you won't be the last! Please !get together with Connie so you can figure out what to send, okay? Thanks!

Amy, sorry to jump in here, but this needs to be resolved right awayj

Shirley

I was just coming back to say, the boss will take care..haha

Jeanne and Amy, sent you both an email.

Also, Connie and Jennifer, let us know what is going on, okay? Thanks!

Shirley!

Connie you sent a fabulous package to me for this swap so I want to make sure you get a package of wonderful plants. I'll wait to hear more from Shirley, but don't feel that you will be left out.

Jeanne

Connie, Jennifer, Shirley I will be fine with sending a "make UP " package. I'll need an address but will have the package ready to mail Tuesday ( Monday being a holiday) Sorry about the delay here but I have been off the internet for almost a week. Amazing how far behind you can get in 5 or 6 days. All is well and resending is no problem

Again sorry for the delay and the confusion

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!

It's a long story, but a meteorologist told our head chaplain in Arkansas this is the year for lots of action in "Tornado Alley" Texas through the Dakotas because the conditions are perfect. The clouds are amazing. Storms build with speed and the clouds are ominous but beautiful. We were in a drought 3 years ago. Now we're squishy wet. Heidi

Amy,

Thanks so much for hosting.....a wonderful month of plants!!

FOTESSERS, enjoy your weekend! Be safe.....God Bless our ladies and gentlemen who died while serving in our military, serving and protecting all of us.

Annie

Amy -- Thank you for another great month of hosting!

Amy, this was a wonderful swap and theme. So timely too, perfect time for planting. Thank you so much for hosting. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Amy, thanks for being hostess for this fun swap. I hadn't participated in a plant swap for a long time and May is still a good month for me to receive plants before the summer sizzle arrives so it worked out great.

I hope someone has Bingo soon. I think I totally picked the wrong words this month. Only about half of mine are checked off.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend.

Jeanne

Thanks Amy,

This was a great time for sharing plants, right when everything is growing good, and we're all hankering to get in the garden.

Connie I have sent you a PM. Please let me know if that will work.

Again sorry for the dead plants, thought I packed them well. Learning experience for sure.

Amy, thanks so much for hosting the swap! As a newbie I certainly was worried sending live plants for the first time! i got a lovely package and am making new friends (I hope). i enjoyed participating a great deal, and am looking forward to future fun!

Morning!

Jennifer and Connie, please let us know what is going on, okay?

I'll be posting the June swap just as soon as I wake up, stayed up late to watch the Dubs win, then couldn't sleep until around two, so it's a late start for the day!

Edited: Connie just HM me, she and Jennifer are working this out, Thanks, Ladies! Stay in touch with us!

Shirley!

Great swap, Amy! I enjoyed it.

Thank you all so much for joining this month. It was a great swap! Sorry I am late with the bingo words, we left to go camping Friday pm and I forgot to post on Saturday!

Amy, again, thanks for the great fun this month. You did a super job.

I went from needing 8 words two days ago to needing only two for Bingo. With all the words that have been posted today, someone has to be lucky and have Bingo.

It's been pretty warm here this past week but I am not complaining. It is hard for me to garden in the heat so I wait til after dinner and spend a couple hours a night outside completed needed tasks. Got the tomato and cucumber plants in today. I still need to weed and clean out so many gardens but I am keeping myself from getting overwhelmed by doing one project each night. So far, so good. We could use some rain so the weeding could be a little easier.

Margo

Bingo!!!

Jeanne -- Congratulations!!

Congratulations, Jeanne!

Congratulations Jeanne! I will get your prize off to you in the next few days! Have a great day everyone!

Yay Jeanne!

Way to go, Jeanne! Congrats1

Connie and Jennifer, how are things progressing?

Have a great day, Everyone!

Shirley!
