Can we start around 11am?

Brief description of how the trade works:

Hey Everyone:

We're having the Atlanta Area Gardenweb Plant Trade in Sandy Springs (between I75 and 400, about a mile north of 285)this spring.

Everyone registered on GW is invited to attend and of course, bring a family member or friend if you like.

When you post here you will be put on the mailing list for my personal information which I email to you. Please do not share my personal info. with anyone. Please MAKE SURE that your email is unblocked on GW. This means you need to find your member page and change your settings so that an email can be sent OR you need to email me through GW with your email address and please state your GW "name" or handle in your message to me. Thanks! I will email my information only to people who are registered members of GW.

Everyone is invited to bring their extra plants, seeds, rooted cuttings, old garden magazines/books, old tools, etc.

Consider also that many of us are once again under severe restrictions for water but can water food plants, and have plenty of space for drought tolerant things.

We trade two ways. On this thread we will arrange pre-trades . This means that you will offer plants here and plan to exchange them with an individual here. Then you will get that persons plants together, boxed or bagged and labeled separately and place them in the designated location when you get here.

We also have a "Free for All" trade. You bring in all your plants which aren't designated for a specific person and put them with other plants in categories like "Sun Perennials" or "Fruits, veg". This pretty much goes on until everything is done with.

To effectively trade, you will need to label all your plants with as much info as you can. Botanical Name, (if you don't know ahead of time, just ask on the forum!), "common name", color, height, sun or shade. Annual or perennial. You need to know if your plant is: sun, shade, annual, perennial, edible/herb, shrub etc.

After trading we can share Pot luck if any one is interested.

Note: GGG hope you don't mind but I 'borrowed' your thread from last year!

    Sounds great, Tulips. Thanks!

    Squirrellypete -
    I can bring the daylilies and geranium, but I had no luck with the heuchera. I can also bring you what I believe is a beautyberry. I don't think it's the native.

    In trade, I would like some spanish lavender, and Pardon Me daylily (if you have any left), and your blue false indigo.

    (I may have some hosta and peony "Sarah Bernhardt" for you, if you like.)

    Danielle, I have 4 varieties potted up and will be dividing the others this week. Do you have any particular color preferences?

    I'd love to get some of your hardy geranium and rosemary cuttings.

    Botanicat -- Irises, rose cuttings and tomato plants if there are any left would be great. I'll bring you some of everything you said you'd like.

    Janen -- I have at least 2 of those rooted 'David' Phlox for you. I could always use some more red hardy amaryllis bulbs.

    Pam -- the hardy geranium and paper butterfly daylilies sound great. Hosta and Sarah Bernhardt peonies would be awesome too if they're not much trouble. No worries about your Heuchera. The false indigo is yours and I'll bring you several rooted spanish lavender and pardon me daylilies.

    Turkeytaker -- I like all varieties of heuchera. I do have plenty of 'Palace Purple' but other than that I'd like any kind or color. Greens, purples, bronzes...they're all lovely. I've got you down for some purple hardy geranium and rosemary.

    Amy -- I've got you down for the Madame Plantier rose rooted cutting, and two types of Veronica. Just to warn you though the name 'Red Fox' Veronica is deceiving. It's actually dark pink. But it and the lighter colored 'Tickled Pink' are both yours if you want them. In trade I'd love to try some of your purple Colombine and/or a foxglove if you have any extra.

    Thanks everyone...feel free to contact me through GW with any questions. Danielle

    I do have more native azaleas, but I don't know the colors. It is possible that they are some colored form rather than white/pink (although the white/pink ones are great because they are fragrant).

    Barbara - trading for coneflowers would be good.
    Danielle - if you want to trade for these unknown azaleas, then Salvia would be good in return.

    Additions to my list:
    - gladiolas - mostly peach colored but some may be others
    - purple basil (I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

    Tulips or bust------ hellebores, you are getting all my muscari bulbs (if you wish to share some with Amy, there are probably over 50 bulb-lets in the pot with the plants) and some Coreopsis Zagreb

    Barbara- Asclepias currasavica seedlings, Mexican petunias
    Janen----Mexican petunias
    Amybabyboy3---Jewels of Opar, Mexican Petunias, Northern Sea Oats, Burro tail,Lifesaver plant and sorry but, there are no more Muscari
    FrannyflowersMexican Petunias
    Danita---Asclepias currasavica seedlings
    Pam---Mexican Petunias
    Danielle--- I have one small Sum and Substance is that ok?

    For those of you that have Tomatoes, I could use a few. I of course also need more Sedum Autumn Joy as usual. I will also accept any interesting flowering plants for shade.

    I have potted up 1- gallon container of Mexican petunias for each request. If you wish more than that, let me know soon so, I can pot up more before next week.

    Amy, the Burro Tail is a newly started hanging basket which will take a few more weeks to root well enough to transfer if you don't like the pot.

    Huernia Zebrinas (Lifesaver plants) are in 2 inch pots and well rooted.

    Asclepias are three week old seedlings only but, they grow very fast.

    Jewels of Opar are small volunteers but, will bloom and grow well over the season. They spread from seeds quite a bit even coming up between pavers.

    Sea Oats will be in 2 or 4 inch pots and I have lots of seeds if you want a field.

    Vroomp,
    Thank you I am fine without the muscari. I appreciate all the others.

    Whoopie,

    Vroomp,
    What can I bring you? I just wrote down on the list and I didn't see your requests.

    If anyone else wants sweet basil let me know. I wintersowed and they are small but growing quick. I also have money plant seedlings coming right along and little disco belle hibiscus seedlings. I also have a pot of granex hybrid onion seedlings that need to be separated and planted in the ground, probably at least 50 or so plants. I already planted all I have room for. Just let me know. Amy

    Vnginger -- I can probably dig you some oakleaf hydrangea if you still want one or more, we have them all over the property. I was wondering if I could also get some of your dark red Weigelia cuttings, rooted or unrooted is fine and some English Ivy.

    Vroomp, a sum and substance hosta would be great, my mom will appreciate it for her new yard. Thank you. Is there anything I can bring you in return? I don't really have much in the way of shade plants to offer yet, my garden is almost all sun. I can probably find you some more oakleaf hydrangea as well if that interests you at all.

    Pam -- I just noticed you also offered me a Beautyberry. Yes, I'd absolutely love one.

    And I want to make a correction to my list. What I thought was 'New Dawn' roses aren't. I never even bothered to look up that New Dawn should be pink until now. Instead I have a lovely unknown wine-red climber or rambler. Still pretty if anyone wants those rooted cuttings.

    Thanks, Danielle

    Hubby and I plan to celebrate our birthdays in Atlanta this weekend, weather dependent. (ie: We won't drive up there if there's severe weather, but a little rain won't keep us away.) To that end, I'd love to participate in the trade. I THINK esh has some Nana coreopsis that he might be kind enough to share, but if they've already been spoken for, I understand, because I'm so late getting in the game. I, unfortunately, don't have much to trade. I think I will have a Gold Lace juniper (about 3-gallon size).

    I apologize if this isn't actually plant related, but I thought this was the best place to post for anyone I'll be seeing this Saturday at the swap.

    This past Thursday night I went to bed perfectly fine like normal and I woke up Friday morning with the right side of my face paralyzed. I went to the hospital immediately thinking I had some kind of mini-stroke and they diagnosed me with a condition called Bell's palsy, and the paralysis is due to a compressed nerve that is the main supply nerve to all the little nerves in my face on that side that control my facial muscles. The good news is that most cases are temporary and the majority of people with it fully recover on their own but it takes time. It may be a few weeks before it starts to improve, and in some extreme cases it can take months or never fully improve. But I've been told I have a comparatively mild case so I am optimistic I'll be okay.

    Most friends I run into are understandably curious and want to know what happened. I thought posting some info here might save a little time explaining the whole story on Saturday and I also didn't want to startle anyone who knows me or may remember me. My altered facial appearance and difficulty speaking are a little surprising at first to some folks. Doctor's don't fully understand the causes of the nerve inflammation in these cases but some studies point to possibly a viral cause (don't worry, it's not the contagious kind). There's apparently some evidence that suggests the common cold-sore virus that many people carry with them most of their lives may be what attacks this nerve in some people and causes the inflammation so they put me on an anti-viral as well as a steroid (prednisone) to get the inflammation down.

    I did actually have a couple of symptoms for a few days prior to the facial paralysis setting in but I didn't realize they were serious or related to each other. One was a pinpoint occassional pain at the back of my skull on the right side (which is apparently the location inflammed nerve itself) and the other was a diminished or altered sense of taste. The entire problem is due to exactly where along this nerve it became inflammed. It apparently has to pass through a very small, narrow bone canal in the back of your skull before it branches off into all the little nerves of your face. If it becomes inflammed at the point it passes through this canal, the bone around it has no give so the nerve becomes compressed and if it stays that way long enough it starts to interrupt function of all of the muscles that nerve ultimately controls. I can only speak, eat and drink out of the left side of my mouth. My right eye is stuck in the open position and I cannot voluntarily close the eyelid. As a result whenever I blink it looks more like I'm winking. So if I wink at you this Saturday try not to get the wrong idea lol. Until the condition improves I have to keep eye drops in it and manually close my eyelid periodically to keep it moist. I also wear a protective patch if I'm working out in the yard to protect it from the sun, debris, etc...

    Anyway, that's the long and short of it. I wouldn't miss a plant trade though if I can avoid it so we're still coming! Aside from the occasional nerve pain at the back of my head and the eye and mouth frustrations I actually feel fine. It's just disconcerting to suddenly not be able to control muscles that I normally take for granted.

    Thanks for your understanding. My mom and I are really looking forward to this Saturday and we will see you all there!

    Sincerely, Danielle

    Hey Danielle,
    I'm so sorry this is happening to you! My mom had Bell's palsy when she was in her 20's or 30's. I think her case only lasted a few weeks. Hopefully, you'll be recovering sooner than later.
    Hugs,
    Pam

    I am sorry to hear about your condition Danielle. Did the doctors tell you about L-Lysine? This has been the miracle treatment in my family for cold sores for years. A daily does of 500 Mg. keeps one from ever having a cold sore and at $3.50 per 100 tablets thery are quite affordable. I don't know whether they help after one has developed Bell's or not but, they sure work for keeping the virus at bay. L-Lysine is also said to be a good treatment for Osteoperosis and Migrain Headaches and is safe for babies as well since, it is a natural occuring amino acid. Here's a bit of info:

    Lysine
    Overview:
    Lysine, or L-lysine, is an essential amino acid, which means that it is necessary for human health but cannot be made by the body. For this reason, lysine must be obtained from food. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Lysine is important for proper growth, and it plays an essential role in the production of carnitine, a nutrient responsible for converting fatty acids into energy and helping to lower cholesterol. Lysine appears to help the body absorb and conserve calcium, and it plays an important role in the formation of collagen, a substance important for bones and connective tissues including skin, tendon, and cartilage.

    If there is too little lysine in the diet, kidney stones and other health related problems may develop including fatigue, nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, agitation, bloodshot eyes, slow growth, anemia, and reproductive disorders. It is extremely rare, however, to obtain insufficient amounts of lysine through the diet. Generally, only vegetarians who follow a macrobiotic diet and certain athletes involved in frequent vigorous exercise are at risk for lysine deficiency. For vegetarians, legumes (beans, peas, and lentils) are the best sources of lysine.

    Lysine is involved in the browning reaction, or carmelization, in foods such as pastries, doughnuts, cookies, and cereals. In this process, lysine and sugar become linked together in a way that makes lysine difficult for the body to absorb. As a result, a diet high in cereals and baked goods, especially those that contain a lot of simple sugars, can result in low lysine intake.

    Uses:
    Herpes and Shingles

    L-lysine can be used to treat mouth and genital lesions caused by herpes simplex virus as well as shingles caused by herpes zoster viruses. Taking lysine supplements can speed recovery time and reduce the chance of recurrent breakouts of the herpes infection.

    Osteoporosis

    L-lysine helps improve the absorption of calcium from the digestive tract and prevent loss of calcium in the urine. In so doing, some researchers speculate that L-lysine may help prevent bone loss associated with osteoporosis. In addition, laboratory studies suggest that L-lysine in combination with L-arginine (another amino acid) increases the activity of bone-building cells and enhances production of collagen.

    Other

    Certain forms of lysine and lysine bound to anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen, or Advil) may help alleviate pain following an episiotomy (a procedure performed during labor that involves cutting the vaginal area to enlarge the vaginal opening and facilitate delivery). These forms of lysine may also relieve migraine headaches and painful periods. Whether L-lysine and other readily available lysine supplements also offer these benefits is not known.

    Dietary Sources:
    Good sources of lysine are foods rich in protein, including meat (specifically red meat, pork, and poultry), cheese (particularly parmesan), certain fish (such as cod and sardines), nuts, eggs, soybeans (particularly tofu, isolated soy protein, and defatted soybean flour), spirulina, and fenugreek seed.

    Available Forms:
    Lysine is available in tablets, capsules, creams, and liquids, and is usually sold in the L-lysine form.

    How to Take It:
    A health care provider can help determine whether your diet provides enough lysine. If your diet does not contain sufficient lysine, a health care provider may recommend lysine supplements as part of a complete amino acid replacement. Do not use lysine in children less than 2 years of age unless under the supervision of a health care provider.

    Pediatric

    For children ages 2 - 12: Recommendations are 23 mg/kg/day or 10 mg per pound of body weight daily.

    Adult

    For adults ages 13 and older: Recommendations are 12 mg/kg/day.

    For adults with herpes viral infections: To treat symptoms, take 3,000 9,000 mg per day in divided doses. To prevent recurrences, take 500 1,500 mg per day in divided dosages.

    Precautions:
    Because of the potential for side effects and interactions with medications, dietary supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a knowledgeable health care provider.

    Possible Interactions:
    If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications or supplements, you should not use lysine supplements without first talking to your health care provider.

    Arginine -- Arginine and lysine share common pathways in the body. Therefore, excess arginine may lower lysine levels in the body.

    Alternative Names:
    Amino acid K; L-lysine

    Lucy -- I didn't have any lilac cuttings. Maybe you have me confused with someone else? If there's something else on my list you'd like let me know. I can bring you some purple hardy geranium and I'd love one of your bluish hosta if you have any left.

    Esh and Pam -- thank you for your well wishes!

    Vroomp -- thank you so much for all the info on L-Lysine, I was not aware of it. I copied it and will definitely look into this and ask my doctor about it as well. It's good to have as much info as possible and I'd definitely like to keep this from happening again. The only doctor I've seen so far was at the emergency room and he did not go into any depth about supplements, etc...that could possibly aid in my recovery or with prevention in the future. I'm going to follow up with my regular doctor and discuss it further with him this week. I did find a wealth of info on the internet about the condition and there are many supplements, especially some B vitamins that are thought to be beneficial for nerve health and regrowth for Bell's palsy patients so I have started on those in addition to the prescribed meds.

    Janen, if you still have the Black Arum, I will take as many as you wish to part with. They will go well with my Sauromatum venosums. Let me know how many Mexican Petunias you would like. I am potting in one gallon containers.

    esh -- Thank you! Blooms or no blooms, at least THIS year, I'll know what to do with them, to keep them around to bloom again NEXT year! LOL (You should see the ones that I didn't dig up and toss out...they are just full and gorgeous and blooming like mad!) :)

    bmmalone -- I unlocked my email on my profile...would you mind sending directions and all of that stuff?

    Hubby and I are looking forward to hopefully meeting a few of the great gardeners I get so much advice from here on GW!
