I think that most of the fun is in the sending, not the receiving--course I didn't get mine yet so maybe I'll change my mind :lol: This has been fun--my first year also!! I love the suspense. and also reading about all the trades.

I hope my Secret Trade friend is the patient sort...mine won’t go out until next weekend. It is too hot and dry to dig and divide right now...expecting record temps tomorrow. Then cooler with a chance of rain each day until Sunday...so will dig after the rain - whenever it gets here.

Sorry for the wait, friend...but trust me, you are gonna LOVE what you get.

I haven't received mine yet. But honestly, to me it really is the giving. I got all excited sending the package. Thinking of their reaction when they get it, not really thiniking much of recieving.....at least till it comes.

Mine went out today, too. The weather here has not been good for much of anything, but we finally got a half inch of rain Saturday so I could at least get my shovel in the ground!

Hostadad, you are right, trading is fun. :) I went out to gather my hostas this morning and tugged an eye out of one that was potted up just so that I could add just one more to the package!

I can't help but also be excited to see what is coming though!

Mine went out today too - not going too far, so I bet it is there by Friday....

And I am giggling just a little at one of the things I sent.

One of mine is going out or has gone out via Chris. Package #2 will arrive next week straight from me. Hope they read this and know that package #1 isn't the whole thing :D

Sent Secret Trade Today

Post by Marlys »

Just got back from the PO. My box is headed east across the Mississippi River.

I have to confess though, the plants are not from Marlys' Garden but from Trudy's Holland Drive Gardens. I just didn't have the energy or the heart to split anybody else this year. I chose 2 and Trudy chose 2 to go to a very special hosta friend. (No, Redon, not you!) :wink:

I'm still waiting for my pkg to arrive so maybe, I get Wanda! Yes, Wanda, everyone is hoping you are their secret trader now, including me. :lol:

It's been terrible dry here too after a very wet beginning of the month including flooding around the state. But right now it is pouring rain. Hope it doesn't stop till morning.

I love the secret trades.
