*Completed all trades received!!* Spring Hosta Trade 2009
Alright, it looks like we have a few people that would like to play so I am posting the rules for the trade.
I'll leave sign-up open until May 29th (since I'll be gone a week and to miss a Memorial weekend deadline). It will also give us Northern gardeners a chance to actually see what's growing and what we have to trade!!
To sign-up, send me a PM with the subject “Secret Trade” by Friday, May 29th containing the following:
Name
Address
Hallson’s Nickname
I will PM the name of your secret tradee by Friday, May 30th .
Packages must be mailed out no later than Friday, June 12th.
The trade is for 1 named Hosta. You are welcome to send more and/or other perennials. Don’t forget to label the hosta too.
All secret trades must be sent with a Delivery Confirmation Number, or Tracking Number. Once your package is sent please e-mail me with your DC number or tracking number. This will be used to track the package if there is any problem with delivery.
Don’t forget to update your lists from your recent purchases or trades. Remember to have fun!!
Canadian Traders welcome too!!
All new to the hosta addiction are welcome too. It's really fun. Let me know if there are questions or if I missed something.

Re: Hallson's Spring Hosta Trade 2009
Welcome, Ann! Please tell us a bit more about yourself! You may wish to post a listing of hostas you have and your wish list as well!
Re: Hallson's Spring Hosta Trade 2009
I just can't resist either, even though I have 10 or so in pots that need planted.
My excuse is that time in the pots builds good roots.
I'll send PM.
Thanks for doing this,
Pan

I hope FreakyCola gets in, she made a special post to ask about the trade.

I missed secret trades many times over the past few years due to computor malfunction or just poor timing so I popped on today when dear sonny boy left. Did I miss it again? I can't find a topic about this year so hopefully I'm in time.
Re: Hallson's Spring Hosta Trade 2009
Okay, okay, you twisted my arm. I'm off to send the PM.

Re: Hallson's Spring Hosta Trade 2009
I would love to be in on the secret trade, but I am certain that you know we can't ship across the border without a certificate but if there are other Canuck hosta-holics out there who would like to participate, I'd be delighted to trade. (a laughing hosta emoticon??)
Re: Hallson's Spring Hosta Trade 2009
Alright, I am back and have sent message to let all know that they are in the trade. I have posted the current list of traders in the first post.....
If I get some more Canadians I will post.......
I'll also pm FreakyCola to let her know about the trade!
Ok everyone, let's twist a few arms and get some more traders!!!!!!
