NEW OFFER:
2 Seedlings of Night Blooming Jasmine, the are about 4 inches as of right now.

:) Fran

OH Fran you sooo know I want one of those for my night blooming garden (which is a work in progress)
1 Night Blooming Jasmine.

Like all the rest aren't! LOL

Tammy

I would like one too Fran

Thanks about the photos. I have been meaning to get those up forever but you know how spring and planting season is. Who wants to be on the computer doing stuff but getting plants!

I will let you know when I get more stuff posted so you can check it out!

Also will ask Kim about a theme.

Tammy

Thanks for the info Carmen. One more (dumb)question, so when do you consider them plants instead of just starts?

Amy

Tammy hon, your lagging behind on the tracking pages LOL.
I KNOW it is a lot of work, remember I did it too LOL.
I am glad you are covering this one hehe.
I tried not to miss any on the other swap but when this start flowing fast and furious it was hard to keep up, but I still think you are doing a super fantastic job with this swap and I can't WAIT to get my box back.

It would be nice if we had a few more joiners but THIS is a good group with lots of GREAT PLANTS so far! AND if no one else joins well I will be thrilled as grape koolaid with what I have now!!! WOOOHOOOO....

:) Fran

No question is dumb... We are all on a quest for knowledge and if you don't ask you will never know.

I think that answer could vary. I personally consider it a plant once the start is established in the garden and starts to show signs of new groweth. But some may have a different opinion. -if it dies obviously it never 'start'ed. LOL (I know Im corney)

Tammy

We were posting at the same time... grape cool aid huh... LOL I guess I would have to be strawberry then.

Me too. I am planning on finishing yesterdays and todays up tonight. Had to actually do work today... LOL

Hello everyone,

Tammy i would like to contribute to Kim's condolenese box.I can not spell today it to hot outside. By the way the Citronella Plant is cuttings ( Tammy). Also if anyone is interested in hard Cuttting from a Purple Smoke Tree Busth just let me know.

Cindy

fran I will include your Hosta in the box.

Thanks Cindy, she emailed me asking me for a piece of one of the plants I listed and asked if there was anything I would like so I picked a hosta from her :). I hope you don't mine Tammy, it isn't a side trade it stemmed from THIS swap list :)!!!

Does anyone have ANY:
Zephyranthes grandiflora-Pink Rain Lily
Zephyranthes citrina - Yellow rain lily (Liliaceae)

I have white and this is all you can find around here and I LOVE these things they are so pretty when you can actaully get them to bloom LOL....

Just thought I would check to see :)

:) Fran

yep got some of those, have any white to spare, i think i even have red, im going to have to look, they should bloom soon but ill try to remember ill see if i have an extra to offerbesides fran...tammy, that bt is a looker..bigmama

Hey bigmama,
Yes, I have some white I can send you. I sure do appreciate it, thank you!

OK, after MUCH MUCH MUCH consideration I am going to remove me from any cuttings offered. It is really hot here and I have not had ANY success with ANY of the ones I have tried this year. I want to make sure the items I receive will make it and giving make track record with ALL cuttings so far I know any cuttings I get will fail. I even FAILED at rotting SEDUMS that is TERRIBLE because sedums are FOOL PROOF!!!!

SO TAMMY-CARMEN, I am sorry but would you PLEASE remove me from:
Clerodendrum starburst 5 of 4 cuttings
Tibochina Grandiflora 2 of 3 (THE PRINCESS FLOWER) -cuttings
4 plumeria bridal boquet-white CUTTING
5 bleeding heart-white CUTTINGS
5 of 3 english dogwood-cuttings

I REALLY am sorry, but when I realized some more cuttings that I just got in another swap isn't going to make it and the fresh cuttings I just took about a week ago all melted and look really bad I figure I better not take a chance on having cuttings sent to me after all. I mean since I am only getting credit for plants I send in I need to get plants in return.
I hope you understand this, I really truly WISH I was better at rooting things and maybe someday I will be, but I am not right now.

I SOOOO SORRY,
:( Fran

Ummmm...I would like the Plumeria Bridal boquet White cutting that Fran doesn't want.

Later...April

Hi everyboby, I just draged my self in from work, whew what aday.

Fran, I will start all the cuttings you wanted and I'll send them to you for postage as soon as they are ready.
(about six weeks) OK miss cutting killer LOL.

One way that I root cuttings and rarely kill any is
I use a 3 in. pot fill it with good sanatized
(store bought) potting soil, pat it down nice and firm and use a pencil or something like that to push a hole into the soil and put my cutting in the hole and with my fingers I press on the soil to make it nice and firm around the cutting, water it just a bit and cover all of it with a plastic bag so that the bag is firm around the pot. I set it in a shady place and don't bother it for a couple of weeks. never water it or take the bag off. some times the leaves will all fall off and wala new growth

Oh well I don't know how I got on that but there it is LOL
Thanx for listening Carmen

good to know, ill try also..

Carmen, that is so sweet of you! You made me laugh when I read, OH well I don't know how I got on that but there it is LOL. I KNOW how you got on it and thanks, I will try that myself, I am good at forgetting things so maybe your method will work for me.
I DID start some cutting from my Honeycomb Butterfly Bush last year, I am not sure WHY nothing is working for me this year. Maybe not enough shade, maybe too much moisture. I am not sure but I need to find a fool proof method of starting things so I will try this too so thanks so much for sharing!

:) Fran

Every time I look at the list I want more!!I`d like to request Toni-red hot poker
blue catnip
April-2 more offers mixed TB iris
Janie-gooseneck loosestrife
2 offers strawberry plants

:) Fran

No I remember reading that but think I must have missed it when I was updating. Thanks!

Oh my gosh! I am sick again! this is ridiculous! I can't believe it!

whew that feels a little better now....

I have hardly ever gotten sick my whole life maybe once in a couple years -maybe. I eat health, don't drink don't smoke blab blab blab
And since january I have been sick like 5-6 times! The docs seem to think my immune system is a little screwy because of loosing the baby in january and all the stuff that went on with my body and all January-March (not her terminalogy obviously but the jest of it). I just can't believe it though. I was feeling great, just started working out again and bam now I have strep throat. Danae had it a couple weeks ago so I know how I got it. But thats been a couple weeks. I must have had it and not known. So antibiotics again. I HATE taking antibiotics... uck! well its only a 5 day zpak course so I will be done on Tuesday but man I feel like crap! I thought it was just a sore throat on wednesday but it got worse so doctors I went today and bam strep....

What is one to do??? I even started taking acidophilos to boost my immune system but obviously that isn't working. I am a little ticked off at my body right now. LOL

Anyway wheeew wheeew deep breathes and calming down and getting ready to hit the sack so my body can rest and heal.

Looking on the bright side: well at least we didn't move the mail date to next week and it shouldn't effect the swap any. LOL.

Tammy

Tammy hon, thanks first off, second. Vitamin C, I am telling you it WILL help a lot, load up on it. IF you can eat lemons, grapefruits, strawberries even bell peppers.
But get it in your system, even pill form, you just need to load up on it and keep it that way until your immune system is healed.
Also, take some iron this will help boost your blood too. Anything you can do to boost your body is a good thing, you know miscarring is bad for your body. And your body rejected the baby for a reason SOOOO, you need to load up on the vitamins and minerals and getting them as much as possible from your foods is the best thing to do.

Bananas, too. Ok NOW I am really getting off here and going to bed. I hope you feel better girly strep is nothing to play with. GO TO BED and get some rest tomorrow too! The rest of the weekend even!!

Night,
:) Fran

I've got to get on the road, but this is so exciting. I'm thrilled that people want what I have and it is terrific to muse through Tammy's lists and photos (thanks for going to that extra work, Tammy).

Additional Requests (I've put in for things that are taken, in case there turn out to be extras)
Fran -Mexican petunia
Cindy - yellow four o'clocks
-plum magic trailing verbena (2)
Janie - gooseneck loosestrife
-evening primrose
-Jacob Kline monarda
-iris Indian Chief
sakura-komichi - rose campion (2)
Carmen -Mexican bush sage
Bigmama4ever - grab bag arrowhead

Toni/Zinaray - purple blazing star (2)
Amy-Centaurea montana
- purple bee balm

I will try to fill the extra pachysandra and coreopsis.

bibmama4ever, does epis stand for epimediums? Do you have extras? Is your arrowhead an indoor plant or are you growing outside? I have one native plant arrowhead under a pine tree and would love more....

I have one large area that is very shaded by old, old beech trees and need woodland type plants and shady ground covers as I am tearing out tons of invasive ivy(and discovering mayflower, crocus,etc. along the way). Then I have a sandy soil area on a river, lots of sun, fairly dry most of the time because the drainage is instantaneous! I'm happy to take suggestions about things on the list that I didn't recognize as fitting my habitat.

Thanks, and have a great weekend,

Lisa

Hi tammy, hope you are feeling better,
correction-from Lisa:pachyansdra/eupherbia robbia/geranium maculata/pulmomaria
thanks Toni

Just one correction to my offer list - I think gardencraze also asked for a variegated sedum

Some more requests, should finish me off:
from Lisa/shadysite: geranium maculatum, Iris Indian Chief (I think I missed this iris by two hours - I'll list it anyway)
from Carmen: yellow LA iris
from Toni: purple blazing star, I. brevicaulis, I. hexagona

Thanks!

~CA

Hello everbody and happy forth to all!!!!

Tammy how do I know how much postage to send you to for my box? Looks like I have about 70 or so plants I've not done this type of swap before, scareeeee!
I've got all my tags done except for what comes in late. So I'm just trying to get all my duckies in a row LOL.

Please add (if still available)
*From Robin-3 more Pampas Grass, 4 Forget Me Nots, and 2 Sweet William
*From Fran-2 datura
*From Toni-2 Toad Lilies
*From April-4 Hot Pink Rose Of Sharons

Thanx-Janie

firt of all welcome to the crazy people, oops plant swap, isnt this funnn..second u need to go to your page and fix it, for instace i deduce youre in zone 7 from healping tammy, so the arrow heads are house plants but itake them outside in the summer, and bring them in in winter. the epiphyliums are white night bloomin and a perrty pink and yes i do, would you like some..happy fourth, later ladies..

Hey Lisa-shadysite,
What bigmama is trying to say in her bigmama way LOL, is you have NOTHING listed on your trade page as of yet, nor do you have an email contact listed, you can start one at hotmail, live, gmail, or even mail. com with your handle shadysite@anylistedabove.com (OR use one you already have set up) because THIS tends to make us nervous here on GW in the exchanges when no one has any info listed at all.
Not only can no one contact you with no email addy, no one has any idea what you might wish for IF you have no wants listed and we don't know what you already have or IF you have anything to share.
So please if you will make a email contact available to your new GW family and list something on your trade/exchange pages.
All you have to do is go to the members pages in the links below in the green tabs at the bottom of the site and a list of things will come up and one is Edit Your Personal Information, Page, and Preferences THIS is where you add your zone information AND your email information. Then you can go back to the members pages and go to Edit Your Exchange Lists this is where you add your haves and wants info.

Tammy, I hope you are feeling a little better today. I hope you are out enjoying your 4th of July and not hold up in the bed.

Ok well, I have seeds I need to go check on and some more I need to start.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th!

:) Fran

hi 5 fran

Hi everyone!!
I have been out of town this weekend and just got back. We were at a family cabin for the weekend. It was so nice to just relax all weekend on the lake and bask in the sun!! Ahhhh, I wish I could live like that all the time! :-)

I will check out the updated list Tammy and verify that everything looks good. I will also make sure that my numbers match up and I didn't go over last week.

Hope you're all having a great weekend!!! talk to you more later. Now I get to go out and play in my gardens the rest of the day, the weather is perfect here today!

Amy

I have a update too add ontoy want this only if the are still available.

Tammy yellow ground cover
mixed colors of tall beard iris, sweet William dianthus mixed Mexican bush sage

thank you Cindy

Yeah! I feel a LOT better. Went back to the docs on Saturday (yes my doc was open, finding a pharmacy was another whole story!) and they changed it to a stronger antibiotic because I felt like I was suffocating my throat was soo swollen but today I feel a TON better.

OK I would say normally you would need the same amount of postage to recieve your stuff back as it was when it came in. (just for instance) if you used a large flat rate then that would be the same box coming back. If you are using a by the pound box I would send a little extra just in case the plants you are recieving are heaver than the ones you are sending. I would say normally as long as you send around the same it normally works fine.

Amy - glad you had a good trip. The weather is great here too. I hope it stays like that tomorrow I have to get some plants ready for two other swaps I have to mail out tuesday.

I hope everyone here is doing great! Please remember to confirm your plant lists.

I took my name off a couple and added it to one or two that were available. Just see the list.

Thanks Everyone for making this a great swap! I have had a ball!

click here for link

Tammy

Alright everyone I just sent out the email with instructions and my addy.

Please let me know if you do not get the email.

Just a couple reminder I thought I should post here even though its in the email...

1. Don't forget to Include your postage and return label in a baggie so they do not get messed up.
2. Package must be postmarked before July 15
3. PLEASE use delivery confirmation and send me your confirmation number either online or in an email
4. Your list of plants you are sending in. You can print your section out from the link but please include the list in your box so I can mark off as I go.

BE SURE TO have each persons plant labeled with:
Name of Plant
Who it goes to (TIP: If you have multiple for one person you can rubberband them together and lable the bunch with the persons name instead of ea plant)
From who (optional but I like to remember who gave me what)

OK I hope I covered everything. I am consider doing a fall swap. I have each of your emails saved in my contacts and will send out an email to you to give you a heads up in case you are interested. If you do NOT want me to send you a reminder please let me know as I have everone in this swap saved under a distribution list in my outlook and I will remove your email after this one is complete if you do not want to get any more emails from me.

I really hope everyone has had a wonderful time and I am going to close off the "auction" this Thursday for any final changes so that there will not be last minute request/changes which may make things difficult for some people, so if you have any more requests or offers you may want to get them in as soon as possible.

Thanks again everyone for a wonderful swap.

Tammy :-)
AKA - Greenthumbgrow

BTW - Any extras you send in will be a filler for those that are not over their requests (which is only a couple)

Please include the total number of plants on the sheet I mentioned above so I do not have to total each of them.

Thanks Again!

Ladies, Thank you. I had asked Tammy a question and she went out of her way to suggest I join the swap if interested, so I became a member at gardenweb in order to exchange on the swap and never thought about anything else I should do. I am a novice, live much of the year overseas in a desert where I buy flowers for our apt., and am learning how to garden in mid-stlantic woodlands and a sunny sandy riverside site - both in MD and totally different. The good news is if it doesn't work in one garden, it sometimes works in the other.

Bigmama, I would like both the epiphylliums and the arrowhead to try them out and, Fran, thanks for explaining more.

NEW OFFERS:
I do have some wormwood (artemisia) also which was in the river garden when we bought it and seems to love sun, sand, and spreading, if anyone wants that.

I also have a rooted French lilac, about a foot tall, that I am going to have to toss...anyone up for that? I'd love to pass it on. It will probably bloom spring after next.

CJMASS-cindy
I just saw purple smoke bush today and thought it was wonderful. Would I root the cutting in vermiculit/perlite under plastic?

Thanks, Lisa

Thanks to all, I am looking forward to trying many new things....andmoving them if they don't take!

I would love the French lilac Lisa!

I'll check my list tomorrow.

Good night everyone!
Amy

Can I go on the alternate list for that french lilac? LOL

Also (I know I don't need to add anything but..) was wondering if anyone is looking for some purple perilla?

I took a quick look at the list on your page Tammy and I only have one change...you can take my name off the goldfish plant since I already have that.

Thanks,
Amy

OK. gottcha covered and let me know if there are any other changes.

Thanks,
Tammy:-)

Tammy, you can just fell in with anything that might be extra, although I would prefer DAYLILIES hehe. You KNOW I need all the plants I can get lol.
