| Sunday April 21 3-5 PM Indian Creek Clubhouse You do not have to live in Denton County to participate. There are tables and chairs inside. Restrooms & full kitchen as well. Eating happens inside the building. Swapping happens in the parking lot. We'll be outside a lot so you might want to wear hats and plenty of sunscreen. Bring snacks to share and what ever you want to drink. We'll provide the paper goods, silverware and ice. If you want to be in on the "door prize" drawing bring a garden related thing (not a plant) and put a gift tag on it with your own name. We'll use the gift tags to draw names. Since there isn't any shade in the parking lot you should plant to bring something to cover your tender plants from the sun with. Either a pop up canopy, or a sheet strung between some chairs or a table with a sheet over it would work. If this is your very first plant swap or you are a new gardener, you don't have to bring any plants. But are encouraged to bring items you can trade with. (Candy, pots, Please be sure to tell everyone that this is your first swap or that you are a newbie to gardening and you will see how nice everyone is and how they make you feel right at home. The basics of a plant swap: Bring plants divided from your garden beds, potted up and labeled. Each person will want to know what they are getting. By the time they get home many have forgotten what the name of the plant is, so please label each item. Some people note any tips that might help the plant's new owner be successful enough to divide the plant again in a few years. Some traders/swappers print out care sheets for each plant to hand to the new owner. But if you have labeled properly, the new owner can find info about the plant easily on line. A potted plant has roots. A cutting does not. A cutting stuck in a pot of dirt is not a potted plant. Please do not try to pass one off as such. When swappers receive plants they always put them away from those they are trading away. You might want to bring a sheet or something to lay over the plants you plan to take home. It is good etiquette to ASK if it is OK to take a certain plant. There will be a designated area for free plants for the taking. These will be extra plants that swappers will bring to give away and no trade is expected. When marking your plants, you can use permanent ink on Popsicle sticks, cut pieces of old blinds, plastic knives, forks or spoons and anything else you can be creative with! Printed labels are fine too. What if it rains? What is a pre-trade? How do I pre-trade with other gardeners before the plant swap? A pre-trade is a plant trade made with other gardeners online who are going to the scheduled plant swap. Gardeners are looking for certain plants to swap with other gardeners and agree ahead of time that they will bring those plants to the plant swap for each other. Does the plant swap cost any money to attend? You can post trades here in this thread. Let the swapping begin!!! |

| Carrie, I'd love some Turk's Cap and Fall Aster if you are interested in some rooted rosemary cuttings. It's about all I have to trade. Debbie I would be interested in the Butter n Egg and Wandering Jew if you could use some rosemary. I'm going to get some skincare samples from work as I work at a cosmetics counter. Maybe someone would want to swap for those. I'm trying to re-landscape my dad's yard as he lost most of it to the drought a couple years ago and he is too sick to redo it again. |
|
| Weenerdogg, have you down for Turk's cap and fall aster and a rosemary would be nice..............thanks. |
|
| Debbie would u like to trade White Yarrow and purple flox plant for pulla pepper plants that I grew from seed . |
|
| I'm not sure I'll have much, but will start working on a list and add more later. I have some pepper and flower seedlings. I just need to get thru this little cold spell. I'll post names later, but the peppers are mostly hot with a few sweets ands a few ornamentals. No super hots. Have: Brugmansia cuttings rooted -(these are small) ( Darlene)(Misti) This is the pepper plants I hope to have for the swap Hot Sweet Ornamental Tomato Jaune Flamme (Carrie) Seeds Black Pearl Pepper (remy) |

| Ilovemyroses, I am very interested in your belinda's dream. I will try to find something very special to swap. How about a rooted Confederate Rose Hibiscus? Misti |
|
- Posted by mistigardens none (My Page) on Sun, Mar 24, 13 at 20:47
| carrie751, was informed that we are basically neighbors. No wonder we both have *copper canyon* daisies for trade. Hope to meet you soon! |
|
| Do you live in Copper Canyon as well??? Send me an email. |
|
- Posted by mistigardens tx 7/8 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 24, 13 at 23:13
| carrie751 sent email |
|
| remy101, In response to your email (was unable to respond via email). I probably have 50 to 100 kinds of pepper seeds. Too many to list. If your looking for a particular kind I'll be happy to see if I have it and bring you some. I don't normally bring seeds to the swap but will be happy to if requested. I got 100% germination on some of my pepper seeds and ended up with more plants than I have room for. Will post names of extra plants as soon as I am confident they will survive. |
|
| I will definitely be interested in a few pepper plants, Ruth. You know I am NOT a good seed mama, and mine did not survive. Have replanted, but probably with the same results. |
|
| Carrie, I have you down for pepper plants and tomatoes if you want them. I only did these 3 tomatoes this year. I keep saying I'm giving up on tomatoes. I got a late start with WS this year, so they are pretty small but should be fine if I can get them thru tomorrow's weather. Jaune Flamme JD's Special C-Tex Sun Gold |
|
| Ruthzthank you for your answer. I am interested in black pearl ,black olive,mini sweet peppers. I u list the name it will be easier for me to choose; also ,are u interested in pepper seeds. I have pulla,arbol,Fresno,tobasco,red cayenne, orange habanero,orange manzano ,mint,rosemary,mint and mini rose plant. |
|
| Yes, Ruth, the tomatoes as well please. What do you want this year? |
|
- Posted by mistigardens (My Page) on Tue, Mar 26, 13 at 23:14
| Anyone interested in cast iron plant or heavenly nandinas? Not from my yard but we removed tons from a landscape job today.. Please if you need stuff like this let me know. This is the time of year we yank plants from customers yards and just trash everything. I told workers to save anything from now till swap. so like monkey grass, asian jasmine basic landscape stuff I can get for freeeeeeeee! Oh and if you need plant containers I can get those as well. I grow all my veggies in containers until I can amend my soil, maybe others need some as well. |

|
| Misti, if the containers are large I would love some if you have extra. |
|
- Posted by mistigardens tx 7/8 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 27, 13 at 7:25
| Ruth, lots of 5 t0 7 gallons, great for peppers and tomato. I can get almost any size if you let me know what your looking for. I also like the 4 inch pots and trays to reuse for starting seeds. I can get lots of those and 1 gallons daily Remy, what kind of mints do you have? |
|
| misti, I would be interested in some of the containers as well...............four inch are always nice. I also have two very large containers that I use for mixing my potting soil. How large are the larger ones you spoke of? I don't know the size of the two I have, but probably 3 feet in diameter. |
|
| Carrie, sounds like your pots are 25 gal. or larger. I have several 25 gal. size and love them. Misti, the larger the pot, the better, but I do reuse the 4" pots to start seeds also. My dog destroys the one and two gallon pots. She slings them around dumping everything in them, then chews them up. Sometimes I never find the plants she dumps out. Remy, I have Black Pearl pepper seeds, but not the other two. I'll bring some to the swap for you. Any interest in rooted Brugmansia cuttings? |

| Carrie and ruth..I have huge pots I will save for you both. I end up with lots of last seasons plants and just dump them into pots at least 30" and and let them rot for good soil. I am saving every pot we have from now to the swap so I will have enough for all. closer to the swap I will take measurements and count. I have some large enough to plant a whole herb garden in! |
|
| Misti, that's great. I was thinking of doing just that and have it on the patio. What types of things are you looking for? abarbie4me2, have you down for passiflora and milkweed. Can I get from you |

| Hi Ruth - if you have another of the Corona de Cristo passion vines, I think I lost mine in the drought. I have for you (if you'd like it) an Emerald Frost brugmansia, rooted/potted cutting - it's green-on-green variegated with pink flowers. If you don't have the passion vine left, maybe we can talk brugs! Lin |
|
| Lin, sent you and email. |

| abarbie4me2...do you have more bush morning glory? latin name please? what are you wanting...thanks |
|
| Misti, I have worlds of chocolate mint, but would advise growing it only in a container. I will have some dug for you if you want it. I also have a pink fairy rose climber. Can be invasive if canes not kept cut or on trellis. Beautiful little double rose and it blooms a lot. |

|
| misti, I still need to find something for you in exchange for the pots. I don't have plants, but I do have seeds of the bush morning glory and also seeds of Brazilian Morning glory (Ipomoea setosa). I saw where you were wanting a Confederate Rose that blooms white and turns pink. I lost my inground one, but have a potted one that I can take a small cutting from. I also have Melaleuca Renew lotion. |
|
| Misti, I am very interested in your cast iron plants. Have you posted a want list? If you did I haven't found it yet. I do have some pineapple sage I can divide.

More than I'd ever get planted in the rest of my lifetime! |

| Since I am not able to be at the upcoming swap, I had a pre-swap with Carrie and Ruth yesterday - left here before 8am and didn't get home till almost 8:30p.m! If you want some glorious, healthy, vigorous plants, be sure to get in the swap with Carrie and Ruth! My gardens will be packed full this spring with the new items - I can't wait! Everything will be in the ground (or pots) today so they can catch this week's rain. Ruth was talking about her Mystic Spires salvia - that's one you don't want to miss! Between that and the black-and-blue and Henry Duelberg from Carrie, you'll have blue-on-blue, but no heartache in your garden. Thanks, ladies, for letting me swap in advance of the swap! I sure appreciate your generosity! Lin |
|
| Yes, and thanks to you and Ruth, my veggie garden won't be as bare. I am sorry you cannot make the swap, but glad you could make it yesterday...........I can tell all of you that no one DIGS as well as Lin. |
|
| I add more stuff . Please check it out

| Ok, spent 3 hours tilling in new beds...heck, who needs a shake weight when your tilling. lol I have a mother daughter pass along plant class to teach Saturday, with my mother. smile Then Redbud days and then the great swap. I plan to go thru every post tomorrow and make notes and respond. I have extra plants everywhere so keep watch...many are basic since I live in landscape but will try to add anything exciting that I can. See you at the swap! |
|
| Good to see you posting, Misti................you must have been busy. I will be watching for your list. |
|
| Just noticed mock orange sprouts that I will be pulling out tomorrow.......................anyone interested in these??? |
|
| Carrie, Hubby has been commenting favorably on the one I got from you a few years ago. I could use more. :) |
|
| Got you down for a few, Gail.................good to find a home for them. Otherwise, I have to toss them as I certainly don't need anymore. They are blooming now, and adding such a nice contrast to the more vibrant things blooming like my azalea and clematis. |
|
| In my quest to make gardening easier I'm clearing out and culling my stock pile of pots. I have also vowed to not pull in plants this winter ---- so everything goes in the ground this year! I may make one or two concessions on this but I won't be stuffing the garage and house with plants anymore. I have tons of nursery pots of various sizes and some cheap plastic decorative pots too. No trades expected. |
|
| I'll take the cheap decorative pots ............thanks. |
|
| I just posted the pepper plants I should have for the swap. Hoping the 30's nights are over for now and I don't lose any more seedlings. Carrie, just let me know which ones, or how many you want. |
|
| Ruth, if you have a couple of jalapenos and then whatever else you and Dan like. You know these are for my DH and I have no preference for hot peppers. Do you also have some sweet peppers? If so, I would love to have two or three of them. Thanks, Ruth !!! |
|
- Posted by abarbie4me2 8 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 14, 13 at 19:38
| I would like to try a mock orange Carrie, if you have another sprout |
|
| Got you down for a mock orange, "barbie" !!!! |
|
| OK Carrie... the cheap decorative pots are yours! |
|
| Can I have some pots too melvalena ? |
|
| Can I have some pots too melvalena ? |
|
| Can I have some pots too melvalena ? |
|
| There are plenty of the nursery pots of various sizes. Only a have a handful of the cheap decorative pots, but as I plant everything in ground the pile grows. Hope to have everything planted out by this weekend. |
|
| Darlene, these are the rooted brugs I have. Do you have a preference? I may not bring all of them if I don't have other requests. I know a few people not coming to the swap that would like a cutting. Frosty Pink |

| Gail, I've still got that mailbox I promised you months ago. I'll bring it this weekend. ~ Amy |
|
| Thank you melvalena |
|
| Thanks Amy, and you're welcome Remy101. I look forward to seeing all my old friends and meeting the many new people!
|
|
| Well, it won't be long, and I would like to remind you that if you want to participate in the "door prize" ,... Don't forget your "gift" !! |
|
| Carrie/melvalena, Is there a suggested price range that the door prize gifts should be within? |
|
| I usually try to keep mine withing th $10 range, Ruth. |
|
| This is first time going to plant swap. I am very excited |
|
| Suggestions for all the new people: Bring a few cardboard boxes to put your plants in. Knowing the lay out of the place I suggest anyone bringing plants that need to be kept shaded also bring a card table, some chairs, large laundry basket or something to place over them, A large sheet thrown over that should shield them from the blazing sun but you'll need to anchor it so that the wind doesn't carry it off. Bring your own drinks, and snacks to share if you'd like. We do have access to the club house for those who may need or want to get indoors for a bit. How our door prize works: Be sure to put a gift tag with YOUR OWN NAME on it on the item. We place these on a table and when its time we'll pull off all the gift tags and use them to draw names. When your name is called you can pick from the table whichever item you'd like to have. Dress comfortable for outdoors. You may want to bring or wear a hat. The parking lot is pretty sunny. We're usually clean but not necessarily dressed up in our garden lady finest! :) If I've forgotten anything, or anyone has other suggestions please post! |

| I will not make it to the swap this year. I just got back from a trip that the kids took me on and need to be in McKinney to help out with the 2 yr old twins the next week end. I do have potted and ready for a swap: thyme (4); upright oregano (2) regular oregano (2); creeping phlox (2) an ornamental pepper (seed pods turn green, orange, purple), Kale -blue curly Scotch (2) from Baker Creek; year old daylily seedlings (6); small trees (twigs) that I got through the arbor society. I only want a tomato that will be really good for drying or paste,and maybe something native. If anyone wants to meet me in McKinney on Fri. 26 or Sat. 27, they can contact me by e-mail or phone -- 817 253 - 0530. I will be there Fri. 26 and Sat. 27. |

| Remy, I got that curry tree from a lady who posted on the forum a few years ago. She was moving out of state and couldn't take any of her plants with her. I wanted her turks caps. They were all in pots on her apartment patio. She was so concerned about getting her plants to a good home. I told her I'd take them all so she'd have one less thing to stress out over. She and her husband helped carry them all down to my car. She only had the one curry tree which I knew nothing about at the time. I have no idea where she got it from or where someone would find one to purchase or take cuttings from. I can't even remember who took it off my hands. |

| Nana I have tons of 1 and 5 gallon pots. I am interested in bay leaf, guava,blue mist and a fig for our zone that is tasty. I've only ever tried turkey fig I believe. Let me know how many pots you want. |
|
- Posted by mistigardens TX 7/8 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 22:39
| thanks remy! yes carrie, I am excited. |
|
| Nana, welcome............so nice to see you are coming to the swap. I would like to try one of the Celeste and one of the Violette de Bordeaux figs if there is anything I have you would like to swap. |
|
- Posted by mistigardens TX 7/8 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 19, 13 at 23:37
| Was getting ready for bed and thought heck, I might as well post. Anyone need a kitten or two? I have six, no trade required! lol |
|
| Misti, I have you down for a bay leaf, guava, blue mist and 4 types of figs. Celeste does well here and produce sweet figs. It is cold tolerant once established. The other 3 are better tasting in my opinion but perhaps not as cold hardy. You will have to bring them in the garage for a couple of years but it is worth the effort. After that you can plant them in ground . The mission fig may have to be brought in every year. I have had those 3 types only for a couple of years while my Celeste mother tree has been in ground for about 10 yrs and now and produce close to 50lb in fruit each year. I can use about 10-20 1 gal pots and about 5 assorted sizes 5 gal and greater. Thank you! Carrie, thank you! I have you down for a Celeste and a Violette De Bordeaux. Celeste fruit is amber colored while VDB is black in color with a reddish interior. |

|
| Misti, I have a very large verbena on a stick that needs a good home, but I cannot dig it. Would you be willing to come over and dig it?? |
