OK — I never seem to be free Saturday mornings. I would welcome contact via email (ellenmor@comcast.net) if anyone wants any of the following:

A soaker hose
Soaker hose ring for shrubs/trees
Lemongrass (cut for cooking or divided — my clump is small, but more than I need)
Chives (same as above)
Mint — can’t remember the type (same as above — but the clump’s not so small!)
Thyme (cooking only)
Hosta — lots of plain green, but some fancy ones too
Lysmachia — the creeping chartruese one. Awesome ground cover
Vinca minor or English Ivy
Gooseneck Loosestrife
Black-eyed Susan
Catmint (not nip)

I think I’ll be bringing lemongrass.

If there is interest, I will get ready to divide my lemongrass. It did very well, and it will be time to dig it up and bring it inside pretty soon. I’m not sure I will get to it this weekend, but will need to do it in the next few weeks.

Does anyone want some perennial verbena cuttings? I need to trim them back, too.

I’m looking for more groundcovers – pachysandra, vinca, ornamental strawberry, bishopsweed (or whatever that was you gave me, Marie)

I’m very interested in ferns! But I have a few already so I won’t be greedy.

If anyone wants more, I’ll bring more hosta. I was also thinking about bringing some nasturtium as well as the beautiful gaillardia “oranges and lemons” seeds, or maybe even some cut flowers. Full transplants of those will have to wait until next year.

I might bring some fern transplants to trade. It is a good time to dig them up and get them into their new homes for fall, and I sure have a lot of them. Probably some more jalapenos as well!
