Post #967174

Remember my old college history prof that I have visited and done some plant swapping with? Well, I emailed him yesterday and mentioned the plant tag co-op because he has everything labeled so nice in his garden (about 600 iris cultivars).

He emailed me back last night that he has lots of tags since he just bought a box full from a company in MI. Then he asked if I could use some irises. About *150*!!! He already got rid of a lot on the local 'Swap Shop' radio program for donations and has 150 approximately that are going to be pitched by the end of the week. He said I can have any or all for nothing!!

The dilemma is I just don't have time nor place to put these but sure hate to have them go in the dumpster!

Any ideas? Who's close enough they could come get some?

I'm going to call a few places tomorrow, like the home here in town and the Christian school and the public school. Also will email the Master Gardener organizer and have her send it out to the other MGs for places to plant some.
