    go all the way to the bottom of the page to the green strip, click on member pages, then click on edit your trade list, type in your have and want list, click on submit and that is all there is to it.

    I am home, and am so excited to hook up with you, veeja11. I have updated my trade page, but can not get it to come up on a search--what am I doing wrong? I love anything that attracts hummers and butterflies, as well as those on my list. I heard one time that the only difference between a weed and a flower is what a person thinks is pretty- therefore- there are not very many weeds in my world-lol!!

    Donna, picked up two Angels off the Angel tree at work. Think I got carried away with what I got, but it's all for a very good cause.

    Can't wait until planting season, my yard will be the best looking one in the neighborhood!!!

    Hi I am a newbie,

    I would love a sponsor who specializes in cool climate veggie/fruit, herb, edible flowers. Anyone who knows seed saving and winter sowing would be great. I am in Oregon Climate. I have so many questions and so far I love all my gw friends.

    Thanks.

    Hello! You all sound like such lovely people, plus you're garden lovers, so this is a group I definitely would like to get to know! I'm a newbie to GW (3 months), transplanted from N. Ireland to east-southern Illinois, and would be ever-so-grateful if someone would sponsor me. I am a confessed plant-a-holic . My trade lists are pretty large, yet still incomplete. Specialties are roses (I'm a consulting rosarian & hybridizer, but that's only to feed my plant addictions;-), cannas, dahlias, oh heck PLANTS!
    Thanks in advance for anyone kind enough to sponsor me!
    Red Willow (Rua Saileach in Irish - 'roo-ah sahl-icks') My trade lists are at healing32eire.

    I do not fully understand the process of the Round Robins, but would love to learn, I am new to gardening and growing, starting propagating with cuttings and a mist system, now got hooked on seed growing. I would like to have a sponsor this year and would love to sponsor next year.
    My obsessions this year are:
    Dahlias, seeds like the fact they can be different from the mother plant
    Day Lily seeds, no yellow or orange
    Black berry lily seeds
    Delphiniums
    mini sunflowers
    Giant Zinnias
    Rose hips
    Coleus, love bright colors
    foxgloves
    snap dragons
    dill
    gerber daisy
    hardy geraniums
    helleborus
    hardy hibiscus
    hardy lavender
    color cascade series, lobelia
    lupine
    pansies
    parsley
    penstemon barbatus
    petinia, I love the minis and the wave series
    rosemary
    salivia, red,white have purple
    statice
    veronica
    These are just ideas, love cut type flower, really love dahlias, roses and day lilies, want to try hybreeding this summer, have 8 acreas that I want to put in several new gardens. Thank to anyone willing to sponsor me!
    Let me know if I did this wrong,
    Tammy

    Hi!
    I am very new to this forum. I joined here on 5th dec`07. My heart lies in growing veggies from seeds.I am more interested in heirlooms (though hybrids are great too ) mainly because it is possible to save seeds ;). I like flower gardening and plant propagation too - despite the fact that only a tiny fraction of the cuttings survive the encounter with my brown thumb :(
    I would be glad if somebody would be willing to sponsor me.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed in anticipation!

    Donna,
    I can help Mokey with a few plants, if she is close enough that we can meet in person. It is too cold for mailing plants now, but I have assorted unnamed nubby brugs cuttings, red canna tubers, nubby confererate rose cuttings and dark red rose hips. Mokey will still need a sponsor for other things though.
