WELCOME FAE AND FRIENDS, OLD AND NEW!!!!!

This swap is to welcome the Fae into our gardens. HOW you ask???? Very easily..... by providing them with the things that they like.

Lets see how many Fae People we have hiding in the forests and woods of GW!!!

Please send your partner at least 5 Fae loving plants.

Seeds do not count as plants but can be sent as extras.

Anything else that you send is extra, I just don't want it to get expensive. Just remember its all about making Fairies and their friends welcome in our gardens and lives.

So, here are the RULE RULES........

1. As per GW rules, you must be at least 18 years old to participate in this swap.

2. Signups go until the 10th, Packages must be sent by the

    so, what's so wrong with no mail delivery on Monday??? huh??? I'll have you know I've got a nice, 5-day weekend ahead of me because of that, and I am going to enjoy it! LOL!!!
    and, just to let you all in on a secret, although there's no mail delivery, the mail is still moving through the system. so, feel free to mail stuff on fridays and saturdays, it'll still be moving on sundays and holiday mondays.
    sometimes I just don't know about you kids!!! keep it up, and I'm gonna turn this bus around and take you back home!!!
    (giving myself a case of the giggles)

    tomorrow my father is bringing the tiller into town so I can use it on sunday, then I'm gonna start planting! I figure the more vegetables I grow, the more money I'll save.

    I got a bonus out in my perennial garden this spring. last fall I threw out a bowl of dark sweet cherries which I'd forgotten in the fridge. well, this spring, a little over a dozen sprouted, and some of them are now over a foot tall! guess where I'm going to throw some seeds for honeycrisp apples this fall! oh yeah, that's right! right off the front porch and into the perennials!

    EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE, HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

    Wendy, I'm sending your box out either Tuesday or Wednesday, will let you know with a delivery confirmation number when I do...

    and away I go to the garden.......

    Happy Memorial Day Ladies!

    I have really missed you all this month, but I am at the end of my swapping days till the fall now! With temperatures in the high 80's almost everyday, the poor little plants deserve better treatment!

    Michele , what a beautiful little angel! Best wishes to the family!

    Fishymama, very scarey news for you indeed. Take care and listen to your Doctor! My sister is a two cancer survivor (cervical at 18 and breast at 35) Keep yourself well, its your best defense!

    Be happy and well everyone! I hope you all enjoy a wonderful day with your families and friends

    Hello Medo;
    I sent your spirea on Thursday, I thought it would get to you before the weekend. Not sure how it will look tomorrow, let me know. I have more if that one does not make it. It actually is three little ones so if they survive you can plant them in different places, they grow quickly.

    Butterflies and hummingbirds sound great to me! And, I've got a couple of ideas already for our July swap! LOL! I went shopping early this afternoon and found a few things for my partner in the June swap. And now, I'm heading outside to get the plants for my box for this one so I can take it to the post office and send Wendy her box of fairy garden things!

    Oh, almost forgot to mention that, while I was out shopping I found a clay castle tower for my gnomes to live in, but I don't know whether to put by their stump castle, or make it an outpost for them somewhere else in the garden! Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!

    Hey Linda, how are your nails coming along? Still filing them? LOL!!!

  • pixiesluvplants

    lol Dan your post makes me think of a "knot stump" thing that we have by our new pool. It seems that even though I know that thing is there I hit it with my right foot! I finally drove a 4' pipe in the ground to remind me that it was there and it worked now I just kick the one next to it! I am going to make that area (well until a deck gets built) into a gnome village! They are the perfect king of knots coming off of roots too close to the surface, big enough for a gnome to live in and small enough for me to trip over because I don't watch where I walk.

    Allison, thank you for volunteering to host for June. Butterflies and hummingbirds sounds like a great theme! You will do just fine and you have several people that will help ya if ya need it.

    I hope everyone has a great day!

    After a week of sanding, kilzing, painting, cutting wood, staining, etc - we are almost finished with the hall, dining room and kitchen. I have to put one more coat of paint on two shelfs and a door, and all the cabinets will be back in place tomorrow. The new light fixture for the hallway goes up tomorrow as well. Next comes the whole "let's rearrange the rooms and furniture and accessories" routine LOL I told hubby tonight - lets make the living room a formal dining room, we never use the living room except as a pass-thru room to the den and the dining room. He had to remind me that he suggested that when we first moved in. Oh well - it wasn't time to do that then. LOL So either tomorrow or Thursday we are going to move my dining room table and chairs and the largest of my china cabinets into the living room, move the chair outta there into my spare bedroom, after we move the futon out to the patio, after we move the swing from under the patio to the yard - dang I'm tired already! LOL Hit a great sale at Kirklands Memorial Day, and got to use two of the wonderful coupons they emailed me. Found a great LARGE painting orig. $130 for $35! and it matches the new colors and will help fill out my large empty walls (Tracy - I'm learning LOL) Also picked up some scounces and pics for the new bathroom, and some smell good sachets for my closet - man I love those things! Have been getting in some gardening time too. Deadheaded the butterfly garden, Gave everything a lil treat of miracle grow, rearranged things I want to put in the one day shade garden, and started weeding the largest front yard bed. Its about 25 x 4 and I only got about half of it done today, but its a start. Hopefully, the house and yards will be in great shape by father's day and our first BIG family function since we bought the house in November. So this tells ya'll where I've been lately - just a mite bit busy LOL

    April DC #0307 3330 0001 0108 7534 - going to post office in the morning - I hope you enjoy it and I'm sorry its late but I wanted to wait on something and then being busy with the house and the long weekend I am just getting to it. I'm sorry!! :(

    Michele - you are so creative with what you tell Talla - its adorable. I bet she will be looking for them and wanting to hold them now instead of being afraid. I'm glad you were able to spend time with that precious new baby - I know you were excited!! You have to show us pics of Talla's new garden! Great score on the clothes - freecycle rocks!

    Dan - you are a stinker!!!! LOL i would really be upset IF I worked LOL

    Pixie - thats a great idea for your gnomes. Hopefully it will help you to stop stubbing your poor little toes. How's the pool coming - have you gotten in yet?

    Time for some sleep - cya'll soon!
    Hugs!! Em

    The Romas started slow from seed, but as soon as they put on the first real leaf they took off, sooner you plant them the faster they grow. I have some planted in the garden and I put the tiny ones in 3 gal. nursery pots 2 weeks ago. (4 to a pot) The tiny ones in the pots have caught up and need to be divided now!

    Give em room they will catch up fast!

    I will not be making tom paste, but I am hoping for some very fine sauce!

    Tracey thanks a bunch for the 'balsam' seeds you sent last winter, I had never grown them before and they are blooming now! those flowers are very pretty! They were one of my best wintersown containers, they just kept coming! I think I have a new shade fave!

    Frances

  • diene

    Hello All;
    Frances what is a balsam? Do you have pictures? I have never heard of them but I would love to check them out. I had some lumber delivered yesterday to build a raised bed for flowers in the front yard. If you look at my pictures of the spring bulbs you will see a rock in the backdrop well that is the tip of the iceberg and the soil has become so shallow above it in the front that the grass is not taking. So we are going to build a raised bed to try and keep the soil on the small hill otherwise the entire corner will be one big rock.
    Not sure if I will get to that today but if not, tomorrow for sure. Have almost finished cleaning the boat and hope to have that done today. Then we can put that in the water, hooray!! Of course, they are calling for rain this weekend. Go figure. Very interesting, on Tuesday the temperature hit 83 which was the first time since October 4th our temperature hit 80, now you can appreciate my challenges.
    Pixie, no rush on the box, I plan on putting what you send in my new unbuilt box. Have a wonderful day.
    diene

  • Frances Coffill

    Hi Diene!

    your spring bulbs are fantastic!

    The balsam is an upright growing type of impatiens that was popular in the early 1900s. It can grow to about 3 feet tall in perfect conditions. The flowers grow along the stem instead of on top like the varieties that are popular now and are shaped more like jewelweed flowers (a native impatiens)

    see the link for more info! most of the ones currently blooming in my yard are in the coral to pink range. But a few of the red 'camellia' flowered ones have started to bloom as well.

    Usually they can be found in 'heirloom' collections. Fabulous plant.

  • tracyvine
    15 years ago

    Frances, I am so glad you like them! I had never seen true red ones before so I thought you absolutely should have some for your yard! They are pretty aren't they? The Forget Me Nots and Columbines you sent have sprouted so nicely for me! The FMN are ready to plant out but the Columbines are still tiny so need a few more weeks in their little ws containers yet.

    Diene, they are Impatiens. The variety I sent to Frances were named Strawberry Flavours Hybrid from WaterSunTogether.com. Around here there are only white, pink or occasionally fuschia colored impatiens at the nursery.

    Hi everyone...I am back from our long weekend on the Island, but came home with the stomach bug...Just wanted to let veeja know her box has been mailed..it is mostly plants, but I hope they are some you will enjoy.

    I hope everyone is doing well..

  • Frances Coffill

    I am very excited! My shasta daisies have finally decided to bloom (I know big deal what could be less exciting than a daisy ha ha ha) But I planted these as seeds last spring and they grew like bad weeds all year (even during this mild winter) and are now more like TREES than perennials! They are bigger than most of my shrubs and covered in buds! this morning the first one popped! DH has been shaking his head, neither one of us has ever seen shastas so big!

    Tracy I loved those little plants even before they got flowers, they really are stout, and very pretty leaves too! My columbines are small too, but I am going to set them out in a temporary bed this weekend anyway. The fungus gnats are becoming a real problem in my containers, hot, cool, wet, dry..... the weather seems to be making them multiply like crazy. Setting them in the garden and sterilizing the containers seems to be the only way to get rid of them.

    Oh well, I am off to Lowes to get a new screen door (and maybe sneak in a few more hostas (or something else) while DH isn't looking

    Have a great day!

    Frances

  • tracyvine
    15 years ago

    The fungus gnats? Are they grey/brown tiny little guys that move very quickly? I have some teeny tiny little ones in some of my containers that look like that.

    Those daisies must be gigantic! lol! What have you been feeding them? You must have some really good dirt down there! I just got some daisies in another trade. Some Shasta's and also Crazy Daisies. I can't wait for them to bloom. I haven't had daisies in my yard since I was a kid!

    I was wondering what everyone is doing with their WS containers after they are finished with them? I have a big box full of lids and now have a stack of bottoms as I am planting out. I was thinking of washing them out really good and recycling them as I don't have a lot of space for storing them for next year. What are you guys doing with them?

  • medontdo

    i have put some of the dunks spray water on my soil, only i just watered the soil w the water that the dunk is in, they have gone, the plant is still fine. i dont' crush the dunk or anything. i put the dunk in a 120 oz container. so far so good. :')) my "medo's mocha joe" is awesome!! almost as good as bk's but better cuz it don't run out as fast!! LOL
    i used 2 T (instant) sanka, 3 T hersheys syrup, 3 T splenda, 20 oz milk, put it in 64 oz cup and add ice cubes. ahhhh the flavor of mocha!!! LOL and it costs a heck of alot lessss!!! many hugs Medo

  • emsgarden

    Medo - sounds yummy!! I love those mocha joe's too but you are right they are exp and are gone in a slurp! lol I am going to have to try to make my own too so I can have them more often.

    Frances - I'm excited for you! Daisies have pleasant memories for me of John McDonough Day in New Orleans - he donated land to the City for schools and there used to be a ceremony every year where the school kids brought flowers to a statue of him - had a lot of schools that were named after him. I planted some shasta seeds about 2 months ago, and they are soooooo slow! The plants are barely an inch - inch and a half tall. I hope mine will take off and grow one day.

    Hope you feel better flwrs.

So far the potatoe salad ,pasta salad,& the coconut/pineapple cake are done. Just have to cook the burgers & baked beans tomorrow. That should take care of lunch. Then I have dinner for tomorrow to cook for everyone too!!!!Needless to say we are going OUT to eat tonight!! LOL!!

    Medo, hey there for some reason my work emails are being rejected by your server?
    I intended on sending out last week and changed my mind because I am making your daughter something. So I AM sending it out in the beginning of next week.

    ok sorry about that, i'll clean out my cache and cookies again, LOL that'll probably fix it?? awesome!! talla will love it, she's so happy about her fairy garden. we have to start on the other one in the actual garden. where all the crabgrass is. LOL

    that sounds like an awesome box emily/april :')) an aweful lot to plant!! LOL HEE HEE i bet your gonna have some amazing fun!!!! LOL i know that these guys are gonna have some fun pretty soon with their planting. i'm absolutely out of that now, just the transplanting only. they do the rest now. its much to hot/humid for me. and we've been staying up to late. i got a lashing (not really) from the prison guard (ol man) LOL (that's what he does in real life so i tease him about it LOL)
    but on the other hand the house has been getting cleaned up some more and i am so happy and it has been getting some organizing to, this is what i'm NO good at, in fact my kiddo's are better at it than me. LOL it would seem that i have taught them something after all. LOL hmmmmm imagine that!!! LOL HEe hEE EhE LOL
    how is this gas problem affecting everyone else?? my mom said she had heard from somewhere that by the end of the year it will be 7 bucks a gal. so hubs is trying for a job 15 miles away. we are praying that the job pays a decent amount, at least enough to pay the bills. i will be happy. :')) i'll start making LOTS more homemade stuff!! LOL i definately don't have a prob with that. the laundry soap was the biggest saver and the laundry rinse was the biggest saver. ok that's all i can think of now, so your prob thinking now, WHEW get her off the soap box NOW!!!! LOL **big grinn** many big hugs Medo i hope ya'll have a great day!!
