*Completed all trades received!!* Spring Hosta Trade 2009

Post by grdnnkd »

Alright, it looks like we have a few people that would like to play so I am posting the rules for the trade. :beer:

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!! :wink:

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.

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. :lol:

I'll send PM.
Thanks for doing this,

I hope FreakyCola gets in, she made a special post to ask about the trade.
by FreakyCola on May 07, 2009 11:53 pm
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.

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. :lol: (a laughing hosta emoticon??)
