Well the bi-annual Middle Tennessee Plant swap at Henry Horton State park was last weekend. I have not missed a one since I found out about it in fall of '07 I think. It is usually my sister Barbara and whoever else we can drag along to tend our table that could give a rip about gardening (thanks to Ashley this time and Donna at other times past!) We have the most fun/food/and flowers! The only bummer this time is that my back has been giving me a fit and I have not planted one single thing I brought home! I may have to point and let Glen dig the holes until I'm better. He would do that for me...darling man! Anyways, here are a few highlights:
Me- I couldn't be more excited than if I was 5 and it was Christmas morn!
Our plant swap table; Isn't it ever-so-cute?
Lots of goodies. I think its the coolest thing to trade what you have too much of for things you don't have. I have been able to have such a variety in my garden for no cost.
Until the next one in October, I'll be busying myself with more propagating and digging/dividing in the fall for one last hoorah for the year. Stay tuned.
Looks like you hit the lottery !
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an exciting event, it's times like this I wish I didn't work on Saturday's ;(
It's always fun isn't it! Christmas is a very apt metaphor. I still have a flat of plants to get planted...
