    Please, pretty please, I would like some pond plants for my indoor fish tank. Water hyacinth, parrot feather, etc. I can give a good home to some fish or tadpoles too for the winter.

    Black mondo grass

    (Ahem. Kim. I get first dibs on any red twig dogwood. See above. Just so you know.) :-)

    I would also like some swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). (I got some from somebody at a swap a few years ago, but it got eaten up entirely by some milkweed tussock caterpillars, and that was the end of it.)

    I can't have anything bulky in my car at my destination, but could drop off my self-watering containers at someone's house on my way up and pick up stuff on the way back. I also have good access to a supply of 4 gallon buckets so could drop those off too.

    Eggplant seeds!!!! - *any* kind except Black Beauty and Swallow (I have those). Asian or smaller/thinner (not mini) eggplants preferred

    LARGE pots - over 5 gallons. Plastic preferred. Black Nursery pots ok.

    Tomato seeds for somewhat cooler weather or shade tolerant plants. ones that can go a little earlier, have a shorter growing period and the plant is a little smaller than normal.

    Plant supports for smaller plants. Such as peppers or eggplants. Like the ring systems that are used for flowers. I found that while eggplants don't need staking for support, I think they need staking for wind.

    Small amounts of fertilizer. Fish and seaweed or if someone had the garden tone for veggies that would work too. Or pesticides that would be good for spider mites yet be safe for food.

    Thanks for looking!

  • diana_lynn

    Just remembered three things:

    Lavender - a medium to short variety
    Apple or peach tree - a sucker or a cutting from a short variety would be good
    Lilac - a sucker from the dwarf variety

    And I second Alfie--rain would be nice! (But not on swap day!)

    I want a fragrant, yellow deciduous azalea, supposed to be very hard to grow from cuttings. If you have one that you can try to clone by pinning down a branch til it grows enough roots to be separated from the mother plant, please think of me. I will be offering this deal for the next few swaps or till I give up and buy one.

    Since I have very little space, in order to have room for this azalea I would have to remove a well rooted blueberry bush which you could have in trade. I have lots of blueberries and they are good, but I really want a yellow azalea.

    Also I have several different peonies that I could divide to sweeten the deal. See my have list. Don't be shy. I'd be happy to trade everything for a yellow azalea. Add saffron crocus bulbs....phlox David....I'd better stop before I offer someone my first born son. Did I mention that I really, really want a fragrant yellow azalea?
