Daffs in bags works for me, that's what I did with the snowdrops. I can plop them in a pot if i won't plant them right away.

daffodils in a bag would be fine for me too. I think they can sit in little water for next day planting too.

Gonative -

I have seed for Italian Basil & Italian Flat leaf Parsley. Will check for Cilantro. Have Spearmint which I can dig up.

Would love some of your Columbine and Aliums. I'll be happy to take the flat flagstones.

Thanks.

I have four seedlings of a shredded white morning glory. I originally got these seeds from a woman in Japan. It reseeds and comes back every year for the past probably 10 years. Just a few plants, it has never tried to take over. Very pretty split white flowers. They are in pots of 2 each. I have more seeds if anyone is interested.

My daughter has lived in Evanston for the last 2 years, while in grad school. I suggested she walk on over and check out the crazed, wild eyed gardeners. She declined. (Oh wait, that’s me…she’s probably seen that enough from me. )

Windigo, would love either seed or seedling of those MG. I got some fancy ones few years back but they did not last more that 1 season.
BTW whoever I got that chelone pot last swap- it is growing wonderfully, took off, bloomed last year and multiplied. For whatever reasons I had difficult time growing it before so this makes up my day.

If anyone else is bringing snacks (I think Mickey said she was) I am bringing lots of cookies, and some grapes.

Oerickson I just realized your orange poppy may be iceland or different from my scarlet. I'd like it if you have extra.

Don't thank me just yet, you will have to let the soil dry and shake out the soil. Had to dig up "snow on the Mountain" to get to it. Soil was very moist and held together like silly putty. Could have made clay animals with it : )

Just dug some of the puppy. It is VERY showy color and it does not look iceland to me. Of course it is a long root so hopefully it will transplant well. I feel like I dug half of the garden and of course I barely touched it. And Stagerat if you remember name of that brown foliage plant please, let me know. I forgot Grumbling Of course, darn thing so rare that I will have to prowl over all Chiltern catalog to find the name.

Luvtogarden, we're not doing direct trades here so don't worry! It's a free-for-all at the swap so it should be like that here, too. My car is already packed, but I have one bit of yellow iris and one bit that's either the same yellow or a pale lavender.

Seedrat, agree, we never did "tit for tat" exchanges, there is no reason to start now. I am browsing through the list. If I did not put it with your name on the shelf, please check with me tomorrow.
Some of Jacks are not Jacks- heads are green, so it is different arisaema, have no idea what you will get. VERY hard to dig it out and save bulb.
Some primula is Crescendo series so for those who requested I will put both.
Columbine Blue star and Swan- wintersown, small seedlings.
See everyone tomorrow!

I'm stuck at work later than planned, I don't think I'm going to make it.

Oerickson, or anyone else, if you would like seeds to my morning glory, drop me a t-mail and I will get some in the mail to you.

I'm sorry for those that wanted something I was bringing. If you'll be out in Des Plaines for the garden club sale in June, let me know, and I can meet you there with plants. Or if you'll be out this way sooner, and want to pick up something I was offering, send me a message, and maybe we can work something out.
