TIME: 9:00 to noonish

LOCATION: Rogiers Park, 209 Pleasant Dr., Balcones Heights, Texas

With the mild weather it should be a good year for plants. Be sure to bring a wagon or cart if you have one.

I will be there before 8:00 am to reserve the tables.

Everyone is welcome, especially new gardeners! You don't have to swap plants, bring something to share and you will be rewarded.

See you there!

Crape Myrtle Guy-Are you planning to attend the swap? This thread is for those attending the swap in San Antonio. If not, you will need to start your own thread.

Ruellia squarrosa - blue flowering groundcover
Gomphrena 'Little Grapes' - Native gomphrena
Fig Ivy
Artemesia "Oriental Limelight' (added 3/27)
Gregg's blue mistflower (added 3/28)

Hesperaloe parviflora-small seedlings

(Updated to remove Dicliptera 3/26)

I also have Ruby Crystals grass, small seedlings.

Looking forward to seeing everybody again. I thought about having an open house again since it was so much fun last time, but it will probably be better to do it in the fall when things fill in a bit after the removal of the roses. .

Seeds are always welcome!

Reading your offerings is already tempting me.

Shirley

Hope you can come. It was great meeting you at the last swap.

I need to plant the seeds you gave me still, linda. I am still getting the plants from the fall swap established.My record on keeping things alive has not been too good.

I think I will be able to make it and am looking forward to it!

I haven' t really done an inventory yet, but I do know I have silver artemesia to offer. Will get a more extensive list up soon.

Mara, I am sorry to hear about your hubby's accident, too. I hope things smooth out for you very soon.

Anyone else out there? We'd love to see you at the swap so let us know even if your list isn't ready yet.

"An open house to see your garden progress will give us something nice to look forward to in the fall Ragna!"

Well maybe, Bob has finished taking out the grass and laying paving stones in front the the cedar swing so it may be presentable even though the newly planted items will not have had time to grow in so we'll see -- that is if anyone wants to come. Let me know if you do.

I will be attempting to to root some cuttings, just dont know if they will be ready in time for the swap
- Improved Mayer Lemon
- Sweet citrus
- Morro Orange
- Variegated pink lemon
- Rex Begonias

I will also bring raw Coffee Arabica seeds, They take a while to germinate but they make a nice shiny plant and the flowers are really nice.

9 years hanging around this forum, it will be nice to meet some people. Met Roselee and hubby a few weeks ago - what a wonderful couple. Good people.

Shirley

Haves:
Cayenne pepper
Hungarian sweet banana pepper
Sweet Heat Pepperoncini
Holy mole pepper (leftovers from a 6 pack)
Society garlic
Green culinary sage (I might sneak these into everyone's box- sage is not hard to grow from seed no matter what you might read)
Mexican Feather Grass (I'm just getting a little more -ahem- diligent about keeping records. I'm about 95% sure these are Mexican Feather Grass but haven't had it confirmed. I have pics if you want to see.)
Lemongrass- can divide if anyone's interested
Aaaannnnddd - muffins! Something a little more morning friendly than chocolate cupcakes.

I would love a Gomphrena "little grapes" from rock_oak_deer, a variagated ginger from zitro_joe, and a silver artemesia from Tonya if there's anything you all want off my list.

Lisa

The Holy mole pepper would be great!

Phoenix- how about a holy mole and lemongrass :-) I'd love a couple crinums.

Lisa

Here is my list of "haves":

I can also dig up any of these that are asked for:
Barleria repens
Fanicks phlox (2)
variegate monkey grass
wooley passion flower
salvia farinacae
Brazilian rock rose (2)
Aztec sweet herb

LIsa, I have you down for some artemesia. Would love some of your culinary sage!

zJoe I am interested in a canna Intrigue, variegated ginger and variegated pink lemon (I wouldn't mind if it wasn't quite rooted yet!). Can I tempt you with anything?

Have lots of banana canna if anyone wants it let me know and I will dig it up. I`m going to try and get some more crinums dug up next week also. These are the milk and wine ditch lilies. I brought a bunch to the fall trade, super easy and hardy in your area. Will divide pond plants also, forgot the in the fall.

Otherwise it will just be a surprise cause I still haven`t got a list together. And we will bring a couple of door prizes. I`ve been digging and dividing.

Tally HO!

Tonya

Do you have any of that columnar cactus you brought last time?

I stopped by Home Depot and Shades of Green this afternoon to look at what's available. I want some flowers in containers for the patio, mostly full sun. I also want some greenery around the fence/pool and some flowers and it's partial sun. And the pencil cactus I saw on another thread? I think that's the same plant I saw in Ethiopia and would love to have some of that!

I'm happy I found this thread and hope I can meet y'all at the swap.

Baked goods are always welcome :-) That's what I brought last year. Everyone was super nice. Please come if you can.

Lisa

Zitro Joe, I'm not familiar with reginal coffees. I've only had blended coffee off HEB shelves and the like and would just like to see what a pure region is like. Just a small amount will do. Thank you!

Joey, in the next year or two when you have more claret cactus keep me in mind. I was thinking claret might be that beautiful hardy cactus you gave me years ago with the large fuschia flowers. It has done so well.

I LOVE cookies! I`ll bring you a box of plants Sundownr. I have a huge pencil tree I want to trim back so will bring you that, you can never have too much pencil cactus lol.

Tally Ho!

Tally, since pencil cactus is a euphorbia how do you recommend handling it?

I have some plants in azalea pots and some gallon contains of plants and of cuttings to swap.

AP - 2 year old Amaryllis (OP, probably red) - 2-4
AP - Christmas cactus - 1 @ of white, pink, fuchsia, salmon, orange & red
GC - Hibiscus 'Snow Queen' - 3
GC - Philippine Violets - 3
GP - Red Yuccas - 5 (4 fingerlings per container)
GP - Vitiver - lots
GP - Lespedeza bicolor 'Little Buddy' - several

I have 16 - 8"+ cuttings of violet/maroon blooming Desert Willow rooting. When I checked them several weeks ago they still had no roots, but had lots of leaves. If anyone is interested in 1 or some I'd be happy to check them again and pot them up if they've rooted.

Ragnaa, I'll be bringing your 2 'water gardens'.

I'm afraid that I agree with you about the hot, dry summer. It looks like La Nina may give up before her brother takes over this fall.

Tally, if you're willing to drive to Kerrville, I have 25 acres of rocks! I'd gladly trade for some of your milk and wine ditch lilies and/or pond plants.

I'm interested in the Lespedeza. Could I interest you in some baby agave bracteosa 'Calamar' and/or A. green goblet?

Will also have some several kinds of seeds, (which I must get around to listing).

I was so looking forward to spending time in your garden again. =(
But I do have another 'medieval' event that day (this time in San Antonio) that I need attend, so I will placate myself with that.

Tally- you can go to Donna's for the rocks and to my place for the mesquite. Practically one stop shopping :-)

Lisa

(I've modified my list above to included the new trades.)

zJoe

I have you down for your 3 requests!

Tonya

Purple Datura please

I have always thought of barleria repens as more of an orange, who can I pawn...er, give some of this to? It self-sows everywhere, climbs fences and plants...

Tally HO!

honeybunny2 - Barbara: I am interested in the meyers improved lemon rooted cuttings. Are you interested in any thing from my list posted above?

- lots of self-rooted pink fall-blooming trumpet vine (smells great, not as aggressive as regular trumpet vine)
- reve d'or rose from Roselee which I still haven't found a spot for; if someone has a great spot for it, I'd be willing to part with it
- lots of plastic nursery pots of all sizes, 4", quart, gallon, 5-gallon
- I'm a much better cook than I am a gardener, so I'd be happy to trade food! Muffins, cupcakes, cookies, lunch - tell me what you like and I'll make it.

I'm interested in the following, if you can find anything worthy of a trade:
- rock_oak_deer (shirley): artemesia, ruby crystals grass
- phoenix (joey): agastache
- southofsa: society garlic, sage, feather grass
- nbtonya: artemesia, rock rose

I'm always interested in any salvias, frost-hardy succulents, turk's cap (especially pink) and cast iron plant you want to get rid of.

See y'all soon!
- m

I'd like the rose, already have one and wished I had another to go with it.

Anyone else interested in some rooted cuttings I'd be happy to pick them for you and I can either meet you at the medical center in SA Monday or I can bring them to you at the swap on the 6th.

It seems to me that the person I spoke with said they had 3 varieties for sale, but all I can remember for sure is the Arbequina. If the variety matters to you, let me know what you' like ~in the order that you would like them~ and I will use that list tomorrow. (see this page for the varieties of large trees they have listed)

phoenix7801: Thanks for the names of the plants.

I am interested in white color rose if any one has it.

Lisa

Lisa: any allergies I should be aware of? Chocolate, nuts, fruits?

Tonya: what can I bring you?

Gardenlover: I have Mme Antoine Carriere (climbing bourbon) and Champney's Pink Cluster (noisette) that are mostly white, slightly tinged pink - want some cuttings?

Lisa

I also found a Brazos Penstemon, a variegated Philippine Violet and some oregano, if anyone is interested...

Tonya

Tonya

meriberi - sure, I would like to try your cuttings too.

Hope at least one of them will root.

Tonya, I would love Lizette de lizzy if you have any left

does anone have a variegated phillipine violet? Cuttings will work.

Meredith, we'll eat about anything , I just can't eat, or be near mangoes. But if you ever want to kill me that will do it lol!
Tally HO!

I have plenty Lizettes so put you down for one and a variegated philippine violet.

Tonya

Spending my 2nd night at SAMMC. I'm ready to break out this place...

Sorry to hear you are having to spend time in the hospital. Hope you have made it home by now and are feeling much better.

Tonya

I will be at the park before 8:00 and most people arrive by 9:00. If you need to leave plants, I will help get them to the right person.

Thanks, all.
I scraped my leg and it turned into Staph/MRSA...put me down. Three days of antibiotics through an IV.
Just released to go home.

Kathy, you are so right, it is the one I got from you, so I wrote the name tag wrong. Thanks for clarifying that!

Mara, sorry to hear about your husband, hope he is in the mend now.

As for vegetables from me; I have some Purple Tomatillio seedlings that came up last week. still small but should be transplant size soon. Nasturtiums can be used an herb (real spicy). I tend to throw them in my salads to liven it up. I have plenty of those. Columbine seeds just germinated this week as well. I have a list of more stuff locate up top.

Thanks
zJoe

Thanks Mamachile, see you at the swap.

leapingfroglady: I am interested in hibiscus and tomato. I have seeds - okra, yard long beans, egg plant, cantalope, honey dew melon.

I will bring some shrimp plant cuttings on Sat if anyone would like some. They are so easy to root. See pic

Just realized I posted the magic 150th post so I guess its time to start a new thread.
