Having to downsize

17 years ago

I used to post a lot on this forum, and I still love my plants, but lately the quilting forum (and quilting, itself!) has stolen away a lot of my attention, so my husband is hoping I will do some serious downsizing of the plants. My cacti and succulents are overflowing the 7 tables that he made for them and he wants more space in the garden.

I am going to be pruning large plants and also plan to throw out anything not doing well, but I will keep my favorites.

As for the rest of my potted plants and duplicates and cuttings of my favorites, I am hoping to send most of those to anyone who would like them.

Obviously, I don't want to trade and end up with more plants, so I would send boxes just for the postage. I understand that postage is going up--did the paper say, in May? Right now, a Flat Rate box is $8.10 to anywhere in the States, no matter what the weight (though the box size is limited). I hope GW doesn't object to this kind of offer.

Anyone who is interested can post on this thread or email me privately through my GardenWeb page.

Thanks to all of you who responded. There were so many who emailed me here and privately that I have to cut off my offer as of now. If my plants keep on reproducing the way they have been doing, some time in the future I may have to make a similar offer again. LOL

Biwako, small world! I didn't know you garden as well as quilt. If you ever need further help finding homes for your C&S, give me a hollar!

Oh, Canna, it was when I was looking for other plant forums that I somehow happened upon the Quilting Forum! And *I* didn't know that *you* would show up here!

Would like a sample of your plants. Live in Iowa and have been to your sale/show in Balboa park a couple of years back, it was great. E-mail me back willing to pay the P&H. Chris

Biwako, I lurk here most of the time :), usually when I bring something new home.

I sent you an email but it bounced back. I resent it, so maybe you will get it this time.
