Your rating: None

Ok, pick your TOP 5 plant wants of the season...and post them. IF someone has them in the garden..then they can offer to share( for postage, of course), or can set up a trade with you. This will allow everyone to share AND see what the " MOST WANTED" plants are of the season.

Remember this is a wish list...others MAY or MAY NOT have them...but lets take a chance and see if we can all help each other out with our gardens this season !

This can be annual, perennial, bulbs, or veggies...ok, what is your TOP 5 DROOL WORTHY plants of 2008 ???

Will keep you in mind. I had some and they died on me so asked my mom to call the lady that has them to see if she was going to have any at the sale this yr. We bought 5 pots of them, we each took 2 and I gave the 5th one to my sil. Hoping that they live for one of us so we will always have some.

I've searched around the net for them and my sil went to local nurseries and some had never heard of them.
