4 o'clocks, mauvey-pink

daffodils

WANTS:

I'm trying to thin out my very crowded gardens (I know, you've heard that before), so what I can really use is in the category of "other":

gloves
coffee, pref one of Folger's dark blends

brownies or other homemade lusciousness

but if anyone has pineapple mint, I'd love to have some of that!

Pink lily

Pam

Phyllis, I work weekends and can't make the swap, so maybe we can co-ordinate a meeting place around the time of the swap and you can have as many as you want. Don't forget the 'reproduces like bunnies' comment ;-)

Pam

Yes, something ate everything that I planted in that bed, even the cannas & the onions...

I'd love to have some of the little uns.

See how it goes?
I said I'm getting rid of things, & I don't want things, & then somebody says "small cannas"...

Phyllis says I'm obsessive;
don't listen to her.

Sylvia, I would love to trade a coral canna for the short yellow ones.

Pam

I love the coral indicas;
they go beautifully with coral honeysuckle, too.

Can we help with the $$$?

just to offset a little bit?

Pam

I've been reading up on this sun-lovoing perennial & want to try some different colors.

Is everybody snow-fatigued, or has everyone maybe moved south to escape the snow???

I am planning on bringing home-made brownies and/or choc chip cookies at least, and I will gladly trade them for anything(plant-wise)!

I am mainly interested in yellow flowering plants of any sort and herbs/veggies but I have a big yard and I am just starting out, so I'll take anything that is offered.

If anyone is interested, I also have quite a few white irises that I can bring... I don't know their official name but they are very hardy, they bloomed around Christmas last year and they seem to multiply quickly.

Phyllis.

Don't be a heifer.

(but she's right, I'll always take all the brownies & such I can get!)

Cemetary iris (iris albicans) bloom once in the spring;
I never have heard of them blooming as early as Christmas, but with the roller coaster weather, they may have gotten confused.

I'll post some yellow-flowering sometihngs on the "Haves & Wants" thread for you, to try to keep this thread from getting any more off-center than it already is!

It's Monday.

That's my story & I'm a'stickin' to it!

I have yellow-flowering sedum, yellow historic iris, *maybe* some partridge pea if it emerges early enough-it blooms in the heat of summer, & some daffodils.

I'll have more stuff, too, so you just bake as much as you want!

Have:
Society Garlic
aloe vera (it has darker green leaves, not sure of the name)
Texas Chaste/Vites Tree. 2 rooted Cuttings
Jack in the pulpit
Beauty Berry Bush. I can dig up some small ones on property
Money Plants if they survive.

Wants:
Roses anything other that knockout.
Clematis any
Salvia blues, purples, reds. I love all of it.
bleeding heart
pampas grass need lots for erosion control
ground covers
ornamental grasses
black eyed susan vine
hot poker plant
cardinal climber
any berry bushes or cuttings blueberry, blackberry, grapes
herbs/hot peppers
woodland sorrel
drought tolerant plants

I would love to have some of your chocolate, peppermint and spearmint. I have some lotion for you if there is not anything on my list you would like.

Joyce

Cheryl, are you doing sweet peppers this year,if so please put me down for a couple.

I'll take some tomatoe plants if anyone has them.

I may have some Heritage Raspberries too if they make it, I wont pretend to know what I am doing but when I pulled up the vines that were spreading out of their bed, each vine had a good clump of roots so I put them straight into pots and they seem to be doing well with lots of buds.

I'd love lotion and/or society garlic.

Sylvia, I would love to have some rose cuttings alongs with the mints. I'll bring you some lotion and some society garlic. Thanks!

Phyllis, why donn't you post some pics of your pink lilies?

They're breathtaking!

(I never even liked lilies...til I saw those pink ones!)

Wants:
No idea at this point!

Phyllis, I think I have some Lemon Cuke seeds I could bring you.

My best friend and I plan on coming to the swap here is what we will have SO far..

12 red spider/surprise lilies (these are from our old homestead)

We look forward to meeting you all!

Heirloom Tomato ~ about 15 different varieties
Basil ~ lettuce leaf, genovese & sweet

I am sure there will be more things ready before the swap. If anyone has interest in any of the things I have listed just let me know :)

Sylvia - I need some more chocolate mint if you have enough.

Sfmatthews - would you be willing to trade lunch for hot pepper plants and/or phlox?

beauswatch - will you trade lunch for jack-in-the-pulpit?

randeeki I would love to have the don juan rooted climber and some of your fragrant honeysuckle.

I have a lot of japanese maple seedlings. They were started this past fall and have quite a few I could trade.
I also started some red rocket crepe mrytle seeds. I am waiting to see if they were a success. I could bring you some if they are.

Phylis, I sure would like have one of your pink lilies. It's so pretty. Could I please have one of your shasta daisies?

I do have some gardenias that I could get cuttings off of for you. You will have to direct me in how to do it.

I think I will have a rooted knockout rose to trade and 2 persian buttercups if anyone is interested.

Beauswatch~ I would love to trade for some maples and the crepes, if they take. I just started the don juans and the Honeysuckle, I am certain it will take. The roses I am pretty sure will take if not I can always give you more.. we have 4 don juan climbers I am not sure why but one year we went red climber crazy :)

randeeki,I would like to try a couple of your heirloom tomatoes is there anything you might like/

Brenda, do I get a hotdog this year? What do you want me to bring?

Brenda, I have your name on a chocolate mint.

Joyce, if you have enough Japanese maple seedlings, I'd love to have some.
I have you down for 3 mints & a bucket of rose cuttings.

granburyflowergirl, I have you down for yellow sedum, historic yellow iris, daffs, & partridge pea if it emerges in time (it's a hot-weather plant) in return for brownies.

& if you're a non-baking person who doesn't have plants to trade, I'll swap for any dark-roast Folger's coffee or some such (one year Debbie brought me dog food!).

How big is the Pecan tree?

Sylvia,

The surprise lillies are a dark dark pink red color. They are gorgeous when they spring up in the fall.

We would love more of the bamboo and a couple of lillies, how many Surprise lilies would you like?

Wants:
A sunny day to enjoy our meeting
Smiling Faces to look at
Some good jokes to take back to the office
And a dog and a coke from Barefootie

Cheryl

The surprise lilies that I was thinking of are lycoris squamigera, which bloom before their foliage appears.

I *loooove* them.

If your plants are lycoris squamigera, bring me a few/several/bushels (I never heard of a red-toned one, sounds gorgeous);
if they're schoolhouse lilies, although I love those, too, I already have a bunch of them, so save those to trade with someone else.

Cheryl,
Well, *there* you are!
been wondering when you'd pop in...

I will have to start hoarding jokes for you.

Let me know if you want something else that I can bring.

Attention traders:
I googled the Dreamweaver rose, & it's a gorgeous pink climber; the flowers remind me of petticoats.

I would be interested in the dreamweaver, please let me know if you are interested in anything we have.

A 6" pecan tree isn't very big, no, but pecan trees have such long tap roots that it's very hard to get the whole root if you try to transplant one that's much bigger...

I'd go ahead & get the small tree & keep a tomato cage around it until it's big enough to defend itself.

I saw some tomato cages the other day that were all kinds of bright colors, & that seems like a good idea, too;
you'd be less likely to run over a tomato cage if it were bright pink or lime green or electric blue!

(I was askeered to post it here in case gardenweb thought it inappropriate).

I think I figured out the pictures They pop up in fall with no warning and then their foliage comes in over winter.

I am sorry I called them surprise.. they are actually Spider but the are certainly a surprise when they spring up :)

I wanted to make sure you know exactly which lilies I have available. Please see the post I made with the picture and let me know if you are still interested.

Sylvia,
would you like some still? I will definitely have baked goods for anyone who wants some if you prefer that instead.

Randi

Sylvia, Phyllis and Randeeki I'll bring each of you 2 or 3 each of the Japanese Maple Seedlings. Would this be ok? They are fickle little things. I don't want to promise more just in case.

sfmathews, could I please have some of your John Fannick Phlox and one of your hot pepper plants. Is there anything you are looking for?

I will have more to offer in trades as my seeds grow.

I am not picky :) We have a very old farmhouse and we are working on filling the yard with roses. Do I have anything that you would be interested in?

Randi

I have one plug,of Pineapple Mint, its pretty small but its mint so it will go crazy I would think. I would LOVE some of your Schoolhouse Lilies. I could bring it to you this weekend with the bucket or rabbit droppings I have for you :)

randi

beauswatch is getting...vinca,pink lily,white ??drops and shasta daisy. for me....2 texas chaste and japanesse maples.

granburyflower getting...parsley,rosemary,oregano an yellow cannas.for me....raspbery vine and brownies.

randeeki getting pecan tree..for me heirloom tomatoe.

sfmathewsgetting??????. for me phlox and cuke seeds. susan let me know what you would like.

Cheryl I will trade you a smile and a hug for a jade plant.

HAVES:
A few types of sedum
Cleome
White and Red Poppy seeds
Red Bee Balm seeds
White Star Hibiscus seeds

I am starting some seeds of several other varieties, so we will see how they do between now and then.

YUMMIES

Raspberry Brownies
Snickerdoodles
Hot and Spicy Crackers

WANTS

Any shade loving plants (ferns, hostas,etc)

Will post again soon when I have a better list. Just wanted to get in on the swappin!

I had a pineapple mint one year, moved it around to try to get it in a happy mood, finally lost it.

I *love* that stuff.

beauswatch, I never have grown any maple before, so I'm happy to get 2 or 3 chances!

bloomingirl, good to "see" you again!
I think I'll have some variegated aucuba;
it's a nice evergreen&everbrightyellow shade plant;
all you have to do is water it reasonably, mulch it against heat & cold, & throw a sheet over it in freezing weather.

Redeeki - Yep, still want those lilies.

Cheryl - I'll have to start jotting down notes on some of my better jokes. Trade you a dog and a coke for an elephant garlic clove?

Hey Heater (bloomingirl) - been wondering when you were going to jump in. Raspberry brownies? Yummy,

Does anybody need/want dog treats? My neighbor works for a vet and keeps bringing me bags full of individually packaged Pedigree doggie treats. Happy to share. Not that my dogs aren't spoiled rotten, but I have a lot of them.

My dogs are humble dogs & would be most grateful for treats!

Think of sumpn else I can bring you!

Bloomingirl, brownies and snickerdoodle please and I have a hosta for you......loves shade.

Phyllis, you got it my dear! I love hosta!

Also thinking we will have:

Bridal Wreath bush
Red and Pink Hollyhock
A couple of kinds of daylilly
Purple Coneflower
Violas

Also...will anyone have any habanero pepper plants?

randi, I missed something you said;
I'll try to get some schoolhouse lilies dug for you today;
call me & let me know if / when you'll be in the area with the bunny poo!

(or I can put them in a container on the driveway with your name on it)

Sylvia and Phyllis - I'll bring treats for your fur babies.

Coco says "Thank you Brenda"

I'm not really planning on pre-swaps, unless someone really needs what I have:
: some small eastern red Cedar plants
: Kerria japonica (single Japanese rose - definitely a thug)
: Winter honeysuckle (a bush honeysuckle that's very fragrant)
: some kind of small spirea - it was hiding under another plant so its form is kind of lacking right now
: American beautyberry (all different sizes)
: Carolina buckthorn (maybe one or two)
: (dis)obedient plant
: maybe a bay that was hiding in the greenhouse (gotta check the floor)

I really have to get out to the homestead with the idea of digging stuff up, but I've been limited by the lack of pots and energy...been planting too many things.

I'll be looking for shade plants - shrubs, tree seedlings, ground covers - since my sun is mostly limited and reserved for crinums, salvias, and roses :).

HAVES:
brownies
raspberry vines
pecan seedlings
zinnia seeds
aloe vera

Barkingdog:
what do you mean by a "thug"? I looked up Kerria Japonica and it looks like it has beautiful yellow flowers, if that's true, I would love to have it. I don't know if I have anything you want...brownies may help with low energy ;-) and I can bring several pecan seedlings if you are interested they seem to do okay in filtered shade.

Silvia:
I have you down for brownies, if possible could you bring me a small chocolate mint instead of daffodils? I already have quite a few daffs.

Phyllis:
I am bringing you brownies and a raspberry vine. Also, I think you had originally mentioned garlic chives, can you still bring me some of those? If you have enough shasta daisies, I would love one of those instead of the rosemary as I already have a really large healthy rosemary.

Cheryl:
I would love an elephant garlic...let me know if you would be willing to trade for anything I have (see list above).

Randeeki:
I would love any heirloom tomatoes, let me know if I have anything you want(see list above).

Beauswatch:
If you haven't committed them all yet, would you trade a Japanese maple seedling and a society garlic for a couple of heritage raspberry vines?

Sfmathews:
I would like heirloom tomatoes and phlox if I have anything you want (see list above)

Thanks
Nik

By "thug" I mean if you don't keep it pruned, it will root everywhere the branches touch the ground! When I went to move it out of my bed that's in full-sun and watered regularly, I stopped counting at 40 rooted branches. It does look very nice though, and I can bring you several. I can also look to see if the double form has any offsets (it's a little better behaved as it's not in full sun). I'd love some of your white irises if you have some, or a pecan seedling, or a raspberry vine. :)

Phyllis, the Carolina buckthorn must drop seeds as I have seedlings throughout the yard. Of course, this was after I spent $20 on a one-gallon at Green Mama's, only to find that I have it native on my property. Doh! LMK if you want me to put your name on one...

Lin

Brenda, can I have a THUG abd a buckthorn?

Beauswatch: Yes, you may also have some phlox and peppers. I have no idea yet what I'm going to want, I'll have to get back to you.

GFB(Nik): If all the raspberries aren't spoken for, I sure would love one. I can bring Pholx. I have way too many tomatoes to list here, so if there are any particulars you are looking for, please ask. I'll see if I have it or something similar.
I mostly have blacks, reds, pinks, oranges/yellow, full size slicers and cherries.

Bloomingirl: I don't have Habanero but have Peter Pepper and Lemon Drop, along with a few jalapenos.

I'll put aside a kerria japonica (you've got room for it) and a buckthorn. If you could pot up some snowdrops for me, and some blue sedum, that would be great!

Oh- I also have a Hall's honeysuckle (vine), the one with the yellow and white flowers. It does travel but oh the scent!

: some small eastern red Cedar plants
: Kerria japonica (single Japanese rose)
: Winter honeysuckle (a bush honeysuckle that's very fragrant)
: some kind of small spirea - it was hiding under another plant so its form is kind of lacking right now
: American beautyberry (all different sizes)
: Carolina buckthorn
: (dis)obedient plant
: a small bay tree
: Hall's honeysuckle
: Confederate rose (double pink form) - this is a rooted cutting that I'll pot up today.


So far I have promised a kerria to Nik (granburyflowergirl) and Phyllis (phyllisb2008), and a buckthorn to Phyllis, pending acceptance of my proposed trades (that sounds like legalese- sorry!)

Brenda, what would you like in exchange for lunch?

Thanks!

barkingdogwoods, Could I please have the bay tree seedling?

I will have some sweet william and formosan lily that I winter sowed for trades. Also have some rooted purple heart cuttings.

This is so much fun!

Could I please have some of your Bridal Wreath bush and a day lily.

sylvia...I was wondering about the doorprize drawing as well.

Phyllis, I don't have Chocolate cherry. I do have Black Cherry. I think the only yellow that came up for me is Lemon Boy, a hybrid. It was quite mild tasting (to me) last year. I don't know if it qualifies as low acid, however. But I think I may have an extra seedling I can bring you if you are interested.

maybe I just put guidelines in the other thread.

I'll make a separate post for the doorprize.

thanks!

Beauswatch, I would love one of the Formosan lilies.

Bloomingirl, I'll bring you one of each of the Peter Pepper and Lemon. I wouldn't mind havins some of the Cleome in exchange.

Susan

Heather, yay hooray for a daylily!

Brenda, I'll pot up a bunch of (dis)obedient plants :)

Joyce/beauswatch - the bay tree is yours; do you have an extra Formosan lily in exchange? If not a Japanese maple seedling would be fun :)

Thanks!
Lin

barkingdogwoods, I will bring you some Formosan Lilies and a J. maple seedling.

Thank You!
Joyce

NOIDs: cuttings are from cuttings taken from Carrie few season back I think. Colors range from lite pinks, whites, and peaches.

I do have several NOIDs that may have survived our cold weather from last winter. Each one was cut back to the ground before first frost and look like they may have survied. I will dig these up for trade for something special. All brug cuttings will be cuttings without a Y's and may not bloom this year.

Adora (not sure if this is the right name) Brug cuttings.

Wants:
Indoor house plants. Low light to medium light conditions. Sweet heart plants, pathos, and other types of indoor plants

Named Brugs

Dr Seuss Brug

Daturas

Honey Suckles

Passion Vine

Shrimp Plant red or yellow

Candel Stick plant

Succulents

Sedums

Milk and Wine Lily Crinum zeylanicum

Turk's caps

Esperanza also know as Yellow Bells, Hardy Yellow Trumpet, Trumpet-flower, Yellow Elder

Texas Star Hibiscus

Hardy Hibiscus

I will also have:

Candy Stripe Cosmos seeds
Butterfly Orchid seeds
Danish Flag Poppy Seeds

Lin

I'd like some Danish Flag poppy seeds as well - is there anything else on my list you'd like?

Lin

Susan, I will bring your seeds as well.

What I've Got:
salvia (mealy cup sage)
limelight artemisia
regular silver artemisia
butter and eggs wildflowers (asian toadflax - invasive but tough)
grape hyacinth
random irises running wild in the yard in great herds, like the bison of the Old West
Pots, mostly gallon sized
Will probably have other random perennials, but heck if I can think of them right now.

What I Might Have:
Light blue/purple passion flower (it's not up yet)
Dark blue columbine (only trading for something pretty cool that I don't have)
Asian jasmine and liriope, but I'm only digging up that stuff if someone asks for it.

What I Want:
Edible things
Herbs
Mints (the chickens ate all mine. They have now been exiled from the veg garden.)
Shade things
Purple, blue, pink perennials
Rain lilies
A pony

On a note that is only slightly related, do any of you gardening folk raise fiber animals? Because I recently started spinning yarn, and I would so trade plants for fiber! Long shot, but I figured hey, it's worth mentioning.

Thanks!
Lin

This is so disappointing. I was hoping to make some new friends and pick up a few plants along the way.

I am so sorry! I had some great trades lined up, too!

Joyce

& we have an autumn swap, too.

momfox, I was just getting ready to send out a search party!

I'll bring mints for sure, chocolate mint, spearmint, apple mint, lemon mint, maybe peppermint, although it hasn't stuck its head out of the dirt yet, & I planted about a zillion lettuces which are sprouting; if they make it to the transplant stage, I'll bring you some of those.

The dark blue columbine sounds glorious, but I don't know what I have that would be a fair trade;
I don't have any actual rain lilies, but I do have some schoolhouse lilies, soft red amaryllids that bloom in the autumn after their foliage dies back.

Also have hyacinthoides hispanica, Spanish bluebells, glorious, beautiful blue things that come up & bloom in the spring & disappear til next spring.

They like bright shade or semi-shade-
mine like their spot on the northeast side of a deciduous tree.

Haves:
Tall White Yarrow (gets 3-4' tall)
Pink Flowering Jade (rooted cuttings)
Painted Terra Cotta Pots (these are original paintings on terra cotta pots painted with my own little sweaty hands, all with floral themes)
Orange Day Lilies(ya seen one ya seen em all)
Elephant Garlic cloves(you could flavor your spaghetti sauce with just the aroma from one of these bad boys)
Seed starting flats/trays (Gently used of course)

For:
Phyllis-Jade for a bit of your blue sedum, por favor?
Randi-I'm sorry that Dreamweaver Rose was budding out and then it just died dead as a hammer.
Lin-Painted Pots-I know we did make a trade for these, I just thought you'd like them, you've given me so many nice things the past couple of years.
Barefootie-Elephant Garlic Cloves(wards off vampire elephants-ya don't want one of them biting your neck)

Cheryl

But you know I'd love to unload on you, I mean give something to you in trade :) Just LMK what you're looking for (sun/shade, or even indoor plants) and I'll poke around and find something that might tickle your fancy.

Mark Harmon stays with me though (I think I just found the name for my next boy puppy :)

My cousin used to make soaps, & she had one called something like ocean rain or ocean mist; it was exquisite!

maybe you could dump a whole schoolroom of 'em on her all at once & she'd never know the difference.

But hey, where is Julie anyway? I'm all broke up about losing those Ameraucanas, but not absolutely certain that I've lost my roo. I would still be in the market for another roo chick or even a big roo if she has one to spare. Cheryl

Will be bringing some friends so I want to have all my facts straight....

Thank you in advance
Ruthie

I would love some of your solidago - is there anything on my list you would want?

Lin (barkingdogwoods)

From I-30, go *south* on University & turn left at Colonial toward the zoo.

Follow the road into a curving area, & when you see the ballfields on your right, take the next (immediate) right into the parking lot.

The pavilion will be right in front of you.

seems like we claim to start at 10, but there will be people there earlier & people who arrive later.

You might look over the other Ft Worth Swap threads;
I know there's one that starts "It's Official!" that explains a lot of things, & a separate one for the Door Prizes.

look forward to seeing you there!

Susan

jalapeno pepper plants
probably other kinds of peppers
& slicing tomato plants (rather than cherry or salad tomatoes)

Since I'll have boucoups of extra stuff, I'll be happy to bring you something in exchange for peppers & tomatoes for him.

Thanks!

(He has acreage, will be able to use lots of garden plants)

Haves:
I did some spring cleaning and I came across some wooden Trellis scrap. These vary in size from small to medium size (need an SUV to haul away). If interested contact me via email for a trade. Some of these I can carry to the swap. but the larger ones you will have to pick up.

NOIDs: cuttings are from cuttings taken from Carrie few season back I think. Colors range from lite pinks, whites, and peaches.

I do have several NOIDs that may have survived our cold weather from last winter. Each one was cut back to the ground before first frost and look like they may have survied.
