Brandon's Have List - updated 9/22 - 4 years ago
OK, Martha, it's yours. We can help you get it in your car, but you'll have to make sure there is space for it in your car and that you have someone to get it out for you. It will be a big job for one person to get it out and carried to its planting site.by Brandon7 - Fall 2021 Have

Amanda, I have your requests noted. A 'Hot Dogs and Mustard' would be great. I don't have that one.by Brandon7 - Summer 2021 Have
Re: Brandon's Have List - 4 years ago
Karin, I noted your other requests. I'll pass on the 'Howdy Do'. It's just too plain looking for my taste. Some people love white flowers, but I like vibrant colors better.by Brandon7 - Summer 2021 Have

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 - 4 years 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

Re: POTLUCK - 4 years 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 - 4 years 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! - 5 years 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 - 5 years 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

Re: Brandon's Have List - 5 years 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 - 5 years 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
