Crazy Crazy Plant Swap!

Crazy Crazy Plant Swap!

OK I know Im going crazy hosting another swap so soon after that water one but hey what can I say, I think I'm addicted!

***********************************************

Alright I guess 'suggestions' would be in order:

1. First thing - Sign Up

2. List some of your plants for selection by others

(you do not have to list them all but a couple would be nice so we know we are getting some things we have requested) **(Be sure to select the ones you are interested in from others list)

Example: I may be planning on sending in 100 plants but only want to make 20 available for selecting that would be fine. (Of course if you want to post all that is perfectly fine)

I will be keeping track of requests and toward the end will have you review them.

3. Label all plants with the Plant Name, Your name, and who they are to go to (if you are letting other select them).

4. You will recieve the number of plants you send in (That actually make it to me alive, so please be sure to pack your plants correctly -see #5). Please send plants in good health that you would not mind recieving in return. I would also request that you send in 'clumps' of smaller plants instead of just one little one so that each person will have a nice start of whatever it is.

***** IMPORTANT NOTE: If you request 50 plants then you will need to be sure to send in 50 plants so that someone is not receiving less than they send in. Each person will be back what you send in.

5. Be sure to pack your plants correctly. Please Do not Overwater. This will cause your plants to rot. The correct moisture level for shipping plants should be barely moist, if you can feel the water it is too much. (unless of course it is a water plant) LOL

6. Cuttings will be allowed but please be sure to list those online for others to select the ones they want, some people may not want cuttings so it is best to let those be selected, and you must label them according to #3. Please be sure to send 3-5 cutting for each request so that the success rate will be better.

7. Be sure to include in your box the following (put it in a plastic baggy so it does not get messed up):

- Return address label

- Postage for returning the box

- If you want del. Confirmation please be sure to purchase the tag and send in the box with the postage.

- List of plants you sent in and how many of each

8. All boxes must be postmarked between July 12 - 15. This will insure they all arrive in a close space and I can get the plants back to you in a timely manner.

**********************

NO LIMIT to how many plants you send

10 of Each kind or less (unless you want to post them up for unlimited requests then you can send as many as are requested)

SEND OUT: July 12-15

Have FUN!

    Corryton Pink Daylily

    Yes, Tammy I am missing a lot too, MAYBE you should open two windows one to come to the first one with offers so you can add AFTER you check the second on to see if there is anything you wish to ask for FIRST!

    I am going to go out and check to see what else I have to offer.

    Hopefully I will not miss anything while I do the search LOL.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    I added all requests for each person and added it to the top of the page. Just make sure you are offering at least that amount... It can be more if you have extras but as least that amount so no one gets less than they send!


    CHECK HERE FOR TOTALS as of 10:41
    Be sure to also check and make sure your name is on the ones you requested. It was a little CRAZY and I did my best. Please let me know if I need to correct something.

    Hosta S. Elegans
    Daylily Romantic Rose starts

    Fran, I do have blue-eyed grass, but they (2 of them) are young plants, so I don't have any "extra". It did bloom this spring. I think I have it in too shady a position, because it has been very floppy.

    Does anyone have Polemonium (Jacob's ladder)? I recently realized it would be the perfect thing for an area I have that's just a bit too shady for my sun-loving plants.

    Hi Tammy,
    I just noticed that the Strawberry Ornamental 'Lipstick' on my list is the wrong on. The picture you have is of my lipstick plant. The picture you had on there before was the correct one, it's actually an Ornamental strawberry plant, perennial. You're doing awesome!!!

    New requests:
    Sedum 'blue spruce' from Sakura

    from Fran:
    Troical White Canna
    Thalia dealbeta (Water Canna)
    E.T.Fingers Jade Plant

    woohoo, this is fun!!
    Amy

  • ncgardengirl
    14 years ago

    CA, I have some Jacob's Ladder started. I can send you a hunk I think, but know these are still babies so I wouldn't count them. UNLESS Tammy is willing to give me a 1 plant credit.

    Tammy, the Jewel of Opar you have listed isn't right, this is the one I have:
    Jewels of Opar, Fame Flower
    Talinum paniculatum

    :) Fran

  • dieg01991
    14 years ago

    I swear that every time I post, there are 4 others who post at the same time. Tammy, I don't know how you are keeping up with this, it's a full time job!!!! LOL!!
