Hey Karin, I got you down for the butterfly weed, bee balm, and mint. The elderberry isn't looking very promising at this point. They apparently don't like being transplanted.by Brandon7 - Spring 2021 Have
Re: First Timers - 14 days ago
I've been going since the second East Tennessee Plant Swap, back in May of 2005. It was held at the Seymour Business Park. If I calculated right this will be my 33rd swap!by Brandon7 - Spring 2021 Discussion

OK, I will bring them (with a red face).by Brandon7 - Spring 2021 Want
Re: POTLUCK - 19 days ago
As per the announcement on the main page, I was planning on not having a potluck lunch. If there is interest, we could change that. My concern is that people may not want to share food because of the COVID issue. What do other people think?by Brandon7 - Spring 2021 Discussion

Re: Frances' Wish List - 21 days ago
OK, this is almost embarrassing to offer, but how about a couple of clivias in less than perfect shape? They probably just need a little extra love, or something. I don't know the cultivar name on either one, but they are different types. I seriously won't be offended or anything if you don't want them, cause, like I said, they aren't specimen quality plants. Oh, and one coby Brandon7 - Spring 2021 Want

Hey Kim, if you see anything on my list you'd like, I'd be interested in trading for a Kerria japonica.by Brandon7 - Spring 2021 Have

Great Swap! - 7 months ago
Even though it was raining, we had a record turnout for a fall swap. In total, we had either 37 or 38 swappers. Typically, we have around 20 to 25 at fall swaps. Some, unfortunately, showed up after most everyone else had left. It rained almost the whole time, but not real hard, so it was survivable, especially with an umbrella. I was able to find homes for quite a few plants, and got more plby Brandon7 - Fall 2020 Results
Re: Mark's list of plants for swap - 7 months ago
Hey Mark, I don't know if I have anything you are interested in, but, if so, I'd love to make some swaps with you. The thing I'd probably like the most is 28. Phyllostachys nigra IF you could get one with a pretty well developed root system. I got one from you before but it never sprouted any roots. I still have the spot that I planted it in reserved in case I ever got a chanceby Brandon7 - Fall 2020 Have

Thank you Traci !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Discussion
Re: Brandon's Have List - 1 year ago
That's a good choice Kellie! I got that plant as a surplus/freebie before it bloomed. I don't usually care a lot for white/cream-colored flowers, and didn't think I'd be impressed with it. Then it bloomed. It was gorgeous! I'll reserve it for you.by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Have
Re: Alchol Hand Sanitizer - 1 year ago
I had forgotten about name tags! I am pretty sure I ran out last time. If anyone has extras, please bring them. I am not sure I will be able to get to the store to get them before next Saturday.by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Discussion
Re: Frances' have list - 1 year ago
Could I get the Walter's viburnum? Do you know if it's a cultivar or just straight species?by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Have
Re: Brandon's Have List - 1 year ago
Frances, I have a peperomia obtusifolia/magnoliifolia variegata for you too. It's the one we talked about last year. I just recently realized I don't know which one of these similar species it is.by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Have
Alchol Hand Sanitizer - 1 year ago
I know this stuff is almost impossible to find at the stores, but, if anyone has hand sanitizer they could bring, it would be greatly appreciated. I think that's one thing we need to be safe(r) with this virus threat.by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Discussion

Plans for Spring Swap in light of COVID-19 - 1 year ago
I think it's still possible to have a small and time-limited version of the spring swap, BUT we will have to do it a little different this year. I anticipate having far fewer people, and I don't plan on doing any advertisement or promotion to bring in any new participants. I have canceled our reservation at New Harvest Park. I don't think we'll have enough people to warranby Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Discussion

Re: Seedlings? - 1 year ago
No, I think it's fine just the way you have it. There isn't much activity on here yet (still pretty early), but hopefully a few more people will see it and give you feedback. You can always edit/add later on.by Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Have
Re: Seedlings? - 1 year ago
Hey Salviaflower...welcome to the website. I think all of the stuff you mentioned would be interesting to me, and I think it would go over very well. I will say that sometimes I am not the best at predicting what people will want. A lot of times I bring really rare neat stuff and there's not much interest. There's also been times when I have wondered if anyone would possibly be interby Brandon7 - Spring 2020 Have
