I was looking threw my lists and wanted to post an update for everyone from the swap hosted by mark this past spring. I also wanted each of you to know I truely appreciate you sharing your garden with me and I hope each of you learned as much as I did from Marks cuttings swap. Thanks Mark it was a blast!

Heres the update..................

Mark Case (Our most gracious host):
2 Lemon Grass cuttings - Doing good. I haven't harvested any this year but next year I hope to have it large enough I can make some recipes with it.
1 Spider Plant white/green - Doing great. No babies yet but the plants are hugh!
3 Weeping Cherry - didn't root:-(
1 Oregano - doing great and dried some of it already for cooking!
1 Ginger root - doing excellent. it is hugh I added another piece from the grocery store with it and about a month ago I harvested a large chuck for ginger tea:-) (acutally just had some this morning. Yum.Yum. )
1 Pampas Grass - Doing great!
1 Horseradish - Doing wonderfully. I haven't pulled it up yet. Waiting for fall. But it looks like it took off its plant is about a foot wide.
1 Elephant Garlic - i think I kept it too wet and I rotted it. errr. I know for next time. I have a bad habit of that on larger items like bulbs. I just rotted my scarlet runner beans because of too much water also. I had to start them again. You'd think I'd learn my lesson.

Dirtdiggin:
2 Kiwi - I cut to 4 because they were large cuttings and now have 3 rooted and growing.
2 Pinor noir grape - both rooted and growing.
2 Himalayian Blackberry & 2 Evergreen Blackberry - I have 1 out of the four and am not sure which survived. LOL but It is growing like mad and has wicked thorns. Can't wait for the berries.
1 clematis - Doing great! Just added it last month next to the rose I wanted it with.
1 Corkscrew willow - Rooted fine and is about 1 foot tall now :-) Still in a pot will wait til spring to plant out.
1 Asparagus - Added to the asparagus bed I just made. Thanks I needed all I could get as this is the first.

2 Sugar Plum - neither root. I am sure it was something I didn't do right
1 Peruvian Purple potato
1 fingerling seed potato
1 Red red potato
1 Blue Blue potato
-All the potatos were rotted when they got here. I triied to cut it off and dry it out but didn't work. Maybe in the fall swap I would like 1 each of them (uncut if possible) Thanks for trying though I was so excited about them but am being patient.
1 J. choke - I am not sure what happened to this? I don't think it made it but can't recall why.
1 California white garlic start - Doing great by the white rose
1 Lorz Italian Red - Planted by the red rose:-)

1 Jasmine Vine - Did great and is about 6 inches with leafs
1 Dwarf watermelon crepe myrtle - Doing reallly good but am waiting until spring to plant out as I don't want to take a change on the root system not being large enough yet. I really am happy this rooted so well.

Rosepetal:

1 Dahlia Unwins - Doing great and blooming already!
1 Canna rizome purple
1 Angel Wing Begonia - growing great and is about 3-4 inches tall

**All the roses... They started out great but most did not make it. The ones that did was all the ones in the large propogation chamber I made. All the ones in the soda pop chambers did not. I think the humity was an issue and there was a lot more humity in the large chamber so next time I will be sure to put all roses in that one... I mark it up to a learning experience and now I know what NOT to do with rose cuttings. I will most definatly try it again now that I know what to do. I thought the soda pop ones would do better because they work so well on hardwood cuttings like figs, hydrandeas and other stuff like that but Now I know.

1 butterfly bush- purple/blue - Didn't root.
1 Currant
1 Zephrine D
1 Charles Rennie McIntosh
1 Bishops Castle
2 blueberry - One blueberry rooted :-) But I think I put it in the ground too soon because it lost the leafs:-( I would love to try this again and will most likely root them and keep them in the pot for the first year. Really sad I lost it after planting it out, it is still there as I am hoping it just went dormant and will surprise me in the spring.
2 blackberry
1 Marshalls Delight Bee Balm - Doing great and growing like mad. It has been blooming all summer and I can't wait for it to take over the bed I put it in. :--)) Big Smile. The butterflys are loving it already.
1 Donkeys Tails - Doing great.
1 Huntington Rose - Didn't root
Thanks for all the rose cuttings and I would really like to try them again in the large prop. chamber. Every rose I had in that one made it. So I am hoping I am on to something and didn't just 'by chance' put the easiest to root in there. LOL.

Wanted to comment so it is moved from the top of the list. If anyone else has anything from me that is doing very well I would love to know/see pics. :-)

Tammy

My potatoes didn't really produce a ton either this year. I did get enough for a couple meals but not enough to store any away :-( next year I will plant double what I planted this year.

Tammy

Does anyone know an approximate time frame as to when this one will be?

I'm sure I'll have loads of stuff to send in. We found a small grove of those little sugar plums and they are LOADED this year. I'm thinking to maybe send seeds as well as cuttings, but it may need to be in a winter swap again. These have all been grown from distributed seed by the birds and critters, so no grafting is needed.
