Well I will try to clean out the garage a bit! My sister can likely be counted on (she is out of town now so has not replied). That makes four (she won't have much to swap as she just moved into her place a year ago), I bet others might be interested?

BTW- I never view Plant Swaps as only a swap. I invite anyone to come, including those who have no plants to swap! I kind of view this as a get together. Also, I will go dig up things that need to be divided anyway, and am just happy to send them to good homes. And even cuttings from houseplants can be given away. Last year I brought some old pots and things that I did not want anymore, and an old electric chainsaw I did not need. So let's say you are new to gardening- this can be a great way to get some "passalong" plants to get going! At my place, I have a ton of old plastic pots and a shovel, so if you noticed a daylily or something you wanted (many plants are labeled) we could do a quick dig.
Does anyone want Solidago 'Fireworks'? My plan is to eliminate it here, it spreads too fast and even with cutting back it is almost 7 feet tall here. I thought it was only 3 feet high, that's what the label said). But I could save some if you wanted it, maybe for a wild area it might be nice. However I don't recommend it in a nice garden, it is a thug. I bought about half a dozen several years ago, could pot up a thousand now...

I am off March18th-19th but work the next weekend. Or we could do April?
