Location: Gardengranma's place 2009 Spring MAG SWAP: Plants you HAVE LIST DIRECTIONS for HAVES LIST: If you're new to the swaps, please take the time and have the courtesy to read these posts. They're here to help everyone have a good time. Yes, you can come if you don't have any plants. Your assignment will be to bring brownies (SMILE). Anything chocolate that you'd normally bring to a pot luck will be fine 1. Post a list of the plants you HAVE on this thread, ideally with Latin names to avoid confusion, and cultivar names if they have them and you know what they are.
When you bring your plants, LABEL your plants if possible. We often forget which was what by the time we get them home! Popsicle stick, plastic spoons, recycle old window blinds or other "plantable markers" are great, as they can be popped right in to the ground along with the plant. Clearly mark & separate your "RESERVED PLANTS" (i.e., plants for which you have a pre-arranged swap). Gentle Reminder: At the swap, please do NOT take anything that is labeled for someone else, or is NOT labeled "Free" or "Please Take." Ask. That's all you have to do. If I have forgotten anything else, please add to this thread. Happy Gardening!

| These are my "Haves" but will continue to grow: 1995 Troybilt Pony 5 HP Rototiller that worked back in 2001 but needs some serious TLC. Engine and transmission are fine it most likely needs a carbuerator Kit and it should work. Bottle Gourd Seeds Fresh Radishes-ready to be picked the morning or the Swap |

Not hybrid; tough as nails & spreads aggressively. Have lots of this I'll dig on request, but won't pot up. Astilbe. Varieties unknown, pink/red shades. Gallon-sized plants. Itea virginica (Virginia sweetspire). Gallon-sized plant. Nepeta (catmint), variety unknown, low-growing, purple-flowered. Quarts. Geranium. Lost label, pink, think it's "Bevan's Variety."

| I'll have liriope, tomato seedlings (mostly heirloom), assorted seeds, and gardening magazines (Prof. Dirt has first dibs on Fine Gardening). I might have some other things, depending on what I can pot up before then. I'll also bring Giverny's extra pots, since she can't make it. AND I DON'T NEED ANYTHING IN TRADE. I'm trying to downsize, remember? (Of course, if somebody has something I just can't resist, I might have to sneak it in while DH isn't looking...) |

| As of today (Sunday, 5/3), here's my list. Several of my GW friends were scheduled to help me pot up more plants today, but the weather didn't cooperate. (I hope I didn't inconvenience you too much, busyasabee, giverny, and JanetM and family!) I may get some more readt during the week - I have lots of daylilies and iris that need to be divided, and a few calycanthus and kerria suckers. But we'll just have to see how it goes. KimKa, I will try to dig up the shade plants I promised you - if not, you'll just be forced to visit me sometime. Note: Everything is free. No trades required. EDIBLES: Tomatoes (Sorry the quantities are so limited, but I've already set aside or given away a bunch to friends and relatives): Peppers: Eggplants: ORNAMENTALS: Variegated Liriope - about a half-dozen large pots MAGAZINES: Prof. Dirt has first dibs on "Fine Gardening." Other titles include Horticulture, American Gardener, Country Gardens, Organic Gardening, etc. SEEDS: Veggies, annuals, perennials, biennials, and herbs POTS: Some of my own and a bunch from Giverny. ginabean has first choice! |

| Shasta type daisy. I LOVE THIS PLANT! It came from a friend who can trace it back to her grandmother in 1946. It is a very sturdy plant, it never flops over. The flowers stand up above the folliage and make wonderful long stemmed, cut flowers. It does not seem to be bothered by pests. Lavender obedience plant Chocolate mint Mountain mint Monardia Jenny Lind melon seeds dill seeds

|
| But wait, there's more! Just discovered several rooted suckers of hardy kiwi 'Issai', this is a self-fruitful one. |

|
| Thought I'd posted my haves over the weekend but realized not. Here are my haves... -Wood Hyacinth (lots) I have mostly purple but there are few white ones as well |
|

|
| I also have a virtually unlimited supply of ditch lilies, but not much time to dig before Saturday. I saw them on someone's wanted list. Email--maybe we can arrange a later pickup time if you are in my neck of the woods (Mitchellville, Prince George's County, MD) |

| Sorry for the late post, but I thought I would post the types of tomatoes and peppers that I will be bringing. Let me know if you would like for me to put some aside. "cfmuehling", I would love to trade for some of your raspberry and black berry canes.(I tried to email you but it did not go through) Peppers Tomatoes I also have 1 Southwest Coral Bean plant started from seed. It is a highly poisonous tropical. see you Saturday, |

| Gladgourd has asked that I post her "Haves" for her since she is having difficulty accessing the Exchanges section. Below is what Gladys (Gladgourd) has. her e-mail is gladyskap AT gmail DOT com purple basil, arugula, garlic chives, tansy |
|
| Tomatoes and peppers, maybe some small eggplant. Many varieties.Most will be different from those listed above. |
|
| I still have these potted up and ready to go. Some of them were listed upthread, others newly added. Amsonia Hubrechtii (Arkansas bluestar). Last year's volunteer seedlings, in 3.5" pots. Aster frikartii. Quarts. Helleborus x orientalis (lenten rose). This spring's seedlings, in 4-packs. Salvia guaranitica. Small divisions, 3.5" pots Shasta daisy "Becky." Small divisions, quart pots. Don't necessarily need anything in exchange--I'm determined to keep the population of the Potted Plant Ghetto down this year. Steven |
|
| I know this message is late but I'm coming just for the morning to swap. Here's an approximate idea of what I'm bringing... Strawberries (these are good ground cover but they do also produce fruit. kids love 'em. I have lots!) a few brown-eyed susans I will share some of my black cherry tomato seeds if you have a good trade. :) Amy |
|
| OK, here we go, the full, o'fficial list of what I have. Variegated Vinca Creeping Euyonimus Mystery sedum that I got at a swap a few years ago. It's a ground cover. Purple Passion Vine (houseplant) White Bee Balm Miscanthus Northern Sea Oats Japanese Maple Seedlings Purple Bean Hyacinth Vine seedlings--you dig August Lily. I only have four of these available. If you want some, you'll have to fight for it; I'm e-mailing our gracious hostess and asking her to erect a steel cage for that purpose! ;) Some of issues of Backyard Living magazine For those who requested specific plants, I haven't forgotten you; just look for me and my red Oldsmobile. |
