| What do y'all think of planning towards an online plant exchange in late fall? I'm not thinking of another forum, but an on-line 'event'maybe occurring one evening that we all schedule to be on-line. Kind of like a long-distance plant exchange party. This is a half-baked idea (as most of mine are) but I think it has potential and would be something for all of us with 'cabin fever' to look forward to. And it would compensate for the distinction of being probably the farthest flung regional site on gardenweb.
I'm mentioning it now so that we can all be thinking of taking cuttings, dividing, and collecting seeds.
Maybe we could even make it a real event with postings of garden pics, on-line access to some regional experts (maybe we could each get the gardening editors from our local papers, extension centers, or gardening centers to log on for an evening???) Or we could get experts on particular kinds of plants (i.e. hostas, delphinium, daffodil) to tune in. Dorie and Nandina, you are both coming to mind here!
Like I said it is a half-baked idea so any input is welcome.

| I like it! Let's continue to chat about working this out. We have such a long growing season here that we have a unique situation down here in Dixie. |

| Hi Annie, Call me I have been trying to get a posting like this for a while but keep getting cut. I want to get everyone around the Charleston SC area to meet someplace for a day and do exchanges on the spot. Have done this before for a local garden festival and know what to do. Send me yor e-mails. |
RE: SE coastal online plant exchange/event

| Beetlebob, I'd be interested in helping out with this deal, ok? Sounds like a wonderful idea. Maybe we need to put this in get-togethers or under the exchange forum. Just a thought! |
RE: SE coastal online plant exchange/event
| | |
| Count me in on this too. Please post a followup in this forum to keep us all up to date on this event. |

| I have found a place for the plant swap. We will be using the greenhouse grounds for the city of Charleston in Hampton park. I know the woman who runs it and she said it will be a super thing to do. We will have to wait untill next year because of the season and that the neighborhood next to it wants to be involved also. It will be on a Saturday and when the times and date is set I will post it with direction on how to get there.Hampton park it a great place to walk through and the city is starting a program to rebuild it to it's old glory with the help a volunteers and fund raisers.So start thinking of what you all want to swap and remember to bring smoething extra for us to continue on with the swaping. |
RE: I have a 20 year old pear tree and have never pruned it.
| | |
I do not know how to correctly prune the tree it produces an abundance of pears each year even though it looks soooooo straggly.
Please would someone that knows what they are talking about tell me how to correctly prune my pear tree ?
Thank you, Shufly |

| OK If anyone is still checking this site I have an update. We are waiting for the Hampton Park people to get set up with a board before we can have a plant swap there.We are hoping to have a swap and sale two time a year to help with the restoration of the park to its old glory.Even though I am always interested in swaping plants anytime with anyone in the Charleston aera that would like to get together and tell tales of our gardening. I have just put up a green house from Harbor Freight and if anyone wants to see it E-mail me and I will get in touch with you to see when we can meet. The swap will go on just waiting fir the red tape to run its course. Later |
