I continue to reduce my enormous collection of books. Some very nice gardening books, magazines of all types, loads of cookbooks, and miscellaneous light reading. Lots of treasures.

Stan is going through the garden shed to see what else we can bring.

I'm going to have some other things as well; not sure, but a hydrange for sure.

May bring some iris if Barrett has time to dig them.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.]]> Martharose Spring 2024 Have Sat, 04 May 2024 23:13:45 +0000 https://www.easttnplantswap.com/forum/read.php?84,1437,1437#msg-1437 https://www.easttnplantswap.com/forum/read.php?84,1437,1437#msg-1437 Gasteria unknown species - houseplant, looks somewhat like a type of aloe
