plant swap joy
Posted by Shannon
Oh the bounty!
It was really fun to traipse into town, wagon full of plants (and daughter), and come back home with a wagon full of totally new plants, and better yet, full of good conversation and good coffee (thank you Seven Stones). Now that’s a way to spend a Saturday morning, in my book. I’ve already popped in my rudbeckia, and I’m finding that perfect spot for a few raspberry plants.
Among the harvest was jalapenos, butternut squash, chard, Roma tomatoes, eggplant, basil, parsley, peppermint, bay leaves, raspberries, apples and string beans. There were plants available of raspberry (many — and more available!), black-eyed susan (rudbeckia), hosta, peppermint, I’m sure I’m missing some, and seeds of the sweetest canteloupe. There was even a rain barrel up for grabs! Incredible bounty!!
the goods bring a smile
The Plant Swap will be held every Saturday at 10am sharp on the Plum Street Mall. Come at 10 so we can start swapping by 10:15 or so. While we all stayed and chatted and were in no particular hurry today, we figure this will enable everyone to get a gander on the goods and participate fully.
Give us your feedback; how was it for you?

I really enjoyed myself and will be back next week.

We had a great time! I planted the raspberries this afternoon, and will dig a hole for the hostas in the morning. Congratulations to our organizers — I am sure the event will grow like mint. Hmmm, I think I’ll bring mint next week.
