I'll be interested in the columbines and the horseradish! I could send leaves from African Violets (two types), and also have many houseplants from which I could make cuttings. I have a million coleus seedlings because I didn't notice how many I had planted. :) I have many hostas, some of which likely have babies growing underneath them. Since I don't know their names, I don't know if they specifically grow in zone 4. I have a bunch of spirea japonica which looks to be a shrub that can handle zone 4.

Well, it saves me answering 50 personal emails with this same message. It's nice to leave it at the top until the trade is over!!! I don't think people realize how many emails I get about the trade, on a daily basis. GGG

Went to last year's swap - it's lots of fun. I plan to return again this year and bring 2 friends along. I don't know what type plants they will be bringing but I can bring: 1. wood fern 2. Hyacinth Bean starter plants (4") 3. dark purple Iris 4. Umbrella Plant cuttings 5. Regular Nandina starter plants (2 ltr size) 6. Black Eye Susan (4") Here's my wish list: 1. any trailing plant for pots. 2. anyone have river fern? 3. Castor Bean seeds/plants 4. Coreopsis 5. Columbine 6. lighter color iris to blend w/dark purple ones 7. any of the ornamental grasses except Pampas looking forward to the 28th Dorothy B.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The hole where someone loved was is too hard to bear sometimes. My sister has made 4 attempts since she was 16 and still lives. She's 65 yrs old now. Each time we came home early from a trip or a friend stopped by on time for serious medical intervention. She's always had constant loving care and lives with my other sister so as said above when someone spirals in that direction there is not stopping them. We have been lucky but who knows if that will continue. :(
