We'll be bringing mini roast beef sandwiches, mini turkey sandwiches, mini cinnamon rolls, and a bag of chips.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Discussion
Suzanne and Frances, I got your requests reserved.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Have
Glad you and your mom could come by, Frances!by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Want
Samantha, I should have plenty of tomato plants at the swap. Try to catch me early so you can have your pick. I probably won't have a whole lot of any one particular cultivar. Karin, sorry, but I doubt I will dig any passionflower plants this year. I could harvest seeds, but that will be later on in the season.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Have
I got lots of tomatoes that need a home and could probably come up with some interesting mints.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Want
Kim, I put you down for two A.R.German Green tomatoes. I grew them for the first time last year and was extremely impressed. Two plants should give you enough tomatoes to enjoy. I would be interested in your Rise-n-Shine rose, but I don't know if two tomato plants would be worth a rose. I should have more later, so if the rose is still available and you are interested in trading, I will sby Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Have
The Native Plant Rescue Squad will be giving a short presentation right after the potluck lunch. Please stick around and learn what that organization is all about!by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Discussion
We need a lot more participation with the potluck meal following the swap. Last fall was VERY disappointing with only one other person staying for the meal. If you come to the swap and can possibly stay and socialize, please stick around and enjoy the opportunity to chat with fellow gardeners. We've had some really outstanding dishes in past years, and I hope we can do that again this spriby Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Discussion
Mark, thanks for the offer. I will probably have to pass for now. Frances, do you have a plant or were you thinking about taking cuttings? I was really hoping for a full-size tree, but I might find a place for a smaller one. Do you have this one planted outside?by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Want
Got ya. I will watch for your list.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Have
Cuttings or small rooted plants of known-cultivar mulberries. I already have "Dwarf Everbearing", but would like anything else as long as you know which cultivar it is. Any known-cultivar osage orange. Thornless cultivars would be extra dreamy. I will be shocked if anyone has this, but I can always hope. 1-gallon (trade gallon) or about that size nursery pots.

I don't think I will need it, Frances, but don't count on it yet.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Have
Frances, I looked and did find a tiny one. It's about an inch tall. I will monitor it when spring gets here to see if it makes it though the winter.by Brandon7 - Spring 2019 Have

Attendance was down a little this fall. We had 22 attendees. We also had very few people stay for lunch. I guess we will either not have lunch next fall, or try some other way of doing it. It's a shame that a few people take the time to make stuff and then no one wants to stick around long enough to socialize a little and enjoy the food. I know some people have things that they have to dby Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Results
Unfortunately, something has eaten every maypop fruit. I looked around on the ground to see if there was anything left, but found nothing at all. There were a bunch of fruits just the other day, but nothing now. Sorry.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Want
Mary, catch me early at the swap so we can figure out which kind you want (before they get away). I think I still have at least one of all three types.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Have
OK, I will see what I can come up with.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Want
Suzanne, you got it! LOL, Frances. The problem with me keeping it inside is that I water my inside plants about once every 3 to 4 weeks. Almost all my plants are succulents and cacti. I don't think a pitcher plant would make it. You could come over and build me a bog.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Have
I wish I had know you wanted maypops, yesterday. I could have got you a bunch. I might still be able to get you some seeds if you wanted to grow them from seed. One thing about maypops that you need to know is that they can be extremely aggressive in decent soil. They will quickly take over if happy. I have just a few left in a fencerow, growing along with the grass in poor clay soil. I don&by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Want
Awesome, Suzanne. I sent you a messenger message back.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Want
Yay Frances LOL. I will bring you the zig zag cactus. I left all my bog plants at my old house (in the bog). I don't have a bog at my new house, yet. One of these days......by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Have
I think we will be bringing 2 types of mini sandwiches (ham & beef). What's everyone else gonna bring?by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Discussion
Leigh, I don't know why no one else is posting this year. We do have some lookers and quite a few people on Facebook that say they are coming. If you don't get a response, don't give up. Just bring what you have to the swap. I am pretty sure we will have at least 20 swappers. Our average for fall swaps is about 25 to 30 (last year 27, year before 31).by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Have
Hey Martha, Do you have a type/size preference for the hibiscus? I have taller (7') red ones (species) with normal colored green leaves or shorter (4') red ones (hybrid cultivar) with darker foliage.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Have
1-gallon (trade gallon) or about that size nursery pots. I prefer injection-molded pots or thermoformed/co-extruded/euro pots, but I could also use the old standard blow-mold type pots if they are in good condition (they deteriorate more quickly in sunlight, when left out). I got a few this spring, but am using almost all of those to plant stuff for this swap.by Brandon7 - Fall 2018 Want

Thanks to everyone who came out to the swap yesterday. The weather was great and we had a good turnout. If our count was correct, we had the second highest attendance on record. I think we had 58, although counting swappers is about as hard as herding cats. I was able to find homes for 100% of what I brought, so that was good. Thank you to everyone that helped.
