In trade, I'm looking for:
unusual perennials for zone 7
nice trees and shrubs
garden statuaries
birdhouses--good sturdy ones that will hold up outdoors
oil paint supplies
New Book by Nicholas Sparks "Safe Haven"
DVD - "Last Song" - from Nicholas Sparks book of same title
DVD - "Dear John" - from N. Sparks book of same title
Interesting garden plaques, windchimes, etc.
different perfumes (no body sprays or Avon please). I haven't worn perfume in years, but I recently began wearing Jennifer Lopez Live and Jealousy X, both of which I love. I like something soft and feminine, not too strong or overpowering, not too floral, no musk, nothing Vanilla scented. I like Halston, Ralph Lauren, but I don't know what else.
I'm open to other suggestions as well. So if you see something in any of my posts that you're interested in, just let me know. I need to clear stuff out.

Climbing rose in any color but red
Campanula
Delphinium
Unusual echinacea
Joe Pye Weed
Fillipendula
Ornamental Grasses (newer varieties - I have most of the older ones)
Heuchera
Hosta Little Jay (my son's name) and variegated or yellow leafed hostas

Monarda
Penstemon
Unusual mints
Tall Garden phlox (have lavendar already)
Unusual sedums
Veronica
Buddleia
Callicarpa
Clethra
Elderberry - black lace or gold
Other unique plants
I noticed you're into veggies. If you have a nice selection of tomato, pepper, cucumber, etc seeds you'd like to trade instead of a perennial, That would be great too. I'm going to have a bigger edible garden this year and would love to try new things. I love salads and fresh produce, so any herbs and veggies would be great.
Thanks for responding to my post.

I have lots of veggies! I'll put together a nice variety for you. Are you in the address exchange? ( do you like hot peppers?)
I'll Dmail you.
