Hi Cathy I would love one of your twisted pussy willow starts I will as soon as possible list plants on plants to trade list as soon as I can start it's really early yet I have wintersown 100s of different perennials I would love to pot some up to bring some really different things(seed junkie here)Keeping fingers crossed waiting to do the happy dance.
Patty

Thanks for doing and arranging all of this for us again Cathy! I would also like one of the Pussy Willows, if you still have them. They sound very interesting.

I will update my trade lists asap. Most of us prolly won't be able to have a complete plant trade list until closer to swap time...I know I won't. If all of my ws stuff takes I'll have lots to bring!! :) I'll let y'all know.

Thanks! Heather

Great, I will pot up 3 so far, I'm going to get a picture of this pussy will and I'll email it to you.

Patty, 1000 different perennials sounds wonderful, they will do fine for you, I wintered sown seeds for 3 years and had tons of seeds germinate.

Heather, I'm with you, I need to make a list also.

Cathy

Cathy,
Put me down for a pussywillow, too, if you have some left. I won't have my trade list for a while either.
I did have a thought about those of us that WSed...maybe we could swap HOS clumps. I will try to post a list of what I have WSed soon.

~Gillian

Great idea, Gillian, on listing what we have wsed. This is my first year wsing. I'm a little nervous about having things come up. I am one zone lower than most of you, so I may be a bit behind you also. I think I have about 35 containers done so far, with more to go as I collect the containers. I'll get that list together also.\
Heather

Gillian, I'll save you a pussy willow. I think listing the ws seeds is a good idea, I am also going to list the seeds that I am starting in the greenhouse. Here is what I'll be starting in a couple of weeks.

Zinnia Peppermint Stic
Zinnia Oklahoma Mix
Zinnia Giant Cactus
Snapdragon Night and Day
Petunia Park's All Double mix
Petunia Avalanche White
Petunia Pirouette Red
Petunia Avalanche Red
Lobelia Fountain White

I also have seeds that I collected from last season

I'll go through my seed box and see what else is in there and post.

Cathy

Hi Cathy, I would love to trade you for some
Double Clitoria White Vine
Yellow Impala Castor Bean
I have just about anything you might be looking for if you don't have many I only need a few of each you can look at my list but I have just about everything in my private stock(seed junkie heard) LMK Patty

Patty, just email me your snail mail address and I'll send you some. I will also start some in the greenhouse for you in case you have any trouble getting them going. Not really looking for any seeds right at the moment, I still have to go through my seed box.

Cathy

OK, Here is the list of what I have WSed so far. I'm counting on a good year with 100% germination! I will bring WS babies to the swap of the ones that I have more than a handful of sprouts. If you see something that you have particular interest in, let me know and I will put your name on them.

Thanks!
Heather

Wow, those are great lists. Gillian keep me in mind for a couple of your delphiniums and lupines. I'm going to do annuals and will get a list together as soon as I plant them and they germinate.

Cathy

Hi all! Just wanted to post to say that I am still around and still very excited about the swap!

I also have a TON of seeds that I am WSing right now. Way to many to list! Fingers crossed, if all goes well they will make a debut at the swap. My list right now is sparse. THese are things that I know I have for sure because I have so many of, for the most part. These things will probably come along to the swap also. Here is a few things I am WSing:

Phloxs, Hibiscus', Lupine Tutti Frutti, Astrantias, Delphiniums, Celosia, daturas, plenty o' nice Aquilegias, Lychnis', Malvas, Gaillardias.........heck, you name it and it is probably out there. Some of the Phloxs are up and a couple of Dianthus'.

How exciting! I'll put in a link to my trade page. I usually update pretty often so it will change with the weather! :)

Good morning! I'm so excited that the swap will happen again this year. Cathy-thank you for your organization!! It seems that everyone has really multiplied their stuff from last year. Happy growing!! ~kristine

hi, all! i'm on my way home from baghdad...stopped in an internet cafe to kill some time while i'm in kuwait and...guess what i'm thinking about? my garden.

when i left pgh, it was snowy and cold. i imagine many of my spring plants will be up and starting by now...can't wait to get home and get my hands in the dirt. missed talking to you all.

i'm really looking forward to the plant swap. i'll have to go thru my inventory and update my lists in the next few weeks.

janette

Janette, have a safe trip home. Guess what, it's still snowing, LOL. We had a dusting this morning.

Cathy

Yoo Hoo where's everyone at the swap is only 2 months away
Cathy my russel lupine babies are up some with 2nd set of leaves rumor has it they bloom first year. Patty

Wonderful Patty, most lupines do bloom the first year. I'm happy to here they are growing for you.

I sure hope people still want this swap to go on. Seems that there is not much interest this year.

Cathy

I am still planning to come. I think maybe people are waiting to see what they will have available to trade so they can post a trade list. I was just outside yesterday looking at what was coming up that I could pot up for the swap.
Please let me know what I can do to help you out Cathy. I would be happy to come down and spend a day getting stuff ready...I have some hostas I need top drop off to you anyway.

~Gillian

I second Cathy anything I can do on my end to help LMK. Patty

Kathy we are having car problems don't expect to have them solved by the 10th of June I would love to come if anyone is going and is passing thru my way and is willing to pick me up I will limit my plants so I won't take up too much space I will give you a free plant for the ride something from your want list(I am sure I have something you want. I live on Troy Hill a neigborhood above the north side. LMK if anyone is game. Thanks Patty

Patty so sorry to here that, I hope you can make it. I did another post on the Pa forum to see if there is enough interest this year, if not, maybe we can get together later in the season.

Cathy

Hey Guys!
I have all my plants potted up and ready to go, but yesterday, I called the YMCA to sign my kids up for thier next group of swim lessons and guess what day the first class is? June 10th at 12:40. I am going to try to convince my hubby to take them alone, but since we have 2 kids in two different classes, he likes us both to be there to watch them. So what am I going to do with these plants now!!!!! Oh well, I may or may not be there, but if I miss it, I hope you all have fun!

Hi there. Just wanted to update since I did post that I was interested way back when. My DH bought Dave Matthews concert tickets, which is on Sat. the 10th. For the $ of the tickets there is no way out....lol. I'm sure it will be fun but I really wanted to come to the swap----I would've been able to drive Patty as well. I hope you find a ride, Patty. I will keep an eye out for a post if you decide to reshedule for later. I would LOVE to be there. If it is still a go---Have a wonderful time all! I hope you all get some really great plants and meet wonderful people! Dawn

Hi guys!
I just wanted to tell everyone that I hope you all have a beautiful day on Saturday. We've had a trip out of town planned for months now and I can't seem to get out of it--I even have actual real plants this year!!! Oh well...next year for sure! Hope the day is great and you all have a great time!! Take care, ~Kristine

Hi Cathy, I won't be able to make it tomorrow no ride but if you would like to do a garden visit we could swap some plants I'll save the lupine and you can see what you want when you come.Sorry I'm sure I can make it in fall e-mail me.Gillian you're welcome too.Dawn we have to set a visit up too. Everyone have fun. Patty

Patty,

~Gillian

I hope you all had fun it was a beautiful day I was thinking about all of you as I worked in my garden today I want all of the details how did it go? Patty

Patty, I did get the plants from Gillian, some how we will get together or I'll mail them to you. But you will get your plants. We had a great time, check out the the post that linlily posted.

Cathy
