Hey Brandon, I would love the peony. Haven’t got my list together but will have it soon

You got it, Mary.

Hi Brandon! We'd love a few elderberries! We're hoping for a Bob Gordon, Johns and Nova if you're willing. We'd also love the Upland Cotton or two. We've never grown cotton - it sounds awesome!

Hey Maureen, will you be posting a list of what you are bring to the swap?

Hey Brandon. I'm seriously doubting I have anything for trade that would be of interest to you, but if there is, I would like to trade for an elderberry.

Frances, which ones (plural) do you want? What do you think about two elderberries for one pink turtle head?

I know nothing about them, so I would be happy with anything. Now, what can I bring you?

How about a pink turtle head?

Will do. Thank you so much Brandon!

Hey Brandon could I please get an Upland Cotton and a Toon Tree?

Hey Brandon,

If you have more toon trees I would love one.

Hi, Brandon. If you see anything on my list, I'm interested in trading for your elderberries. (I think I need two plants to get berries?) The smaller varieties would be best in my yard. Let me know if you see anything on my list you'd like to trade for.

I think I have noted everyone's picks up to this point. If not, please let me know.

Promise and MaryS, if you can use more that one Toon, let me know. I have a lot. BTW, they can be kept very small (around 6' or maybe less) with pruning.

Brandon, I’ll take 2 toon trees. I can plant one on my son’s property

I can't believe I forgot to add the red yuccas, and I have soooo many of them!

I'm new and slow, but I just posted it! I'm hoping to have more when I come tomorrow!
