Hi - I was wondering if anyone has a columbine, herbs, flowering plants to share!
I have :
purple iris.
pink oxalis.
nite blooming cereus / huge white flowers.
loofah vine - the one that makes the bath scrubbies,
makes large yellow flowers.
fragrant, mock orange cuttings.
snow queen hibiscus cuttings- tri color leaf
( pink,cream and green) with red flowers, very easy
to root in a cup of water.
Let me know. Thanks - tina_2

I am looking for a post by someone named 'fortunegardener' who said that they had a pink brug cutting. I wanted to send an e-mail but for the life of me I can't find the post. Is that person still coming? Do you still have the pink brug and can I trade you anything for it? If not, Does anyone have a pink brug? I would love to have one and if I don't have any plants you want to trade for it, I may be compelled to wash and wax your car for it. Cheryl

I potted up 5 dame's rockets and a May Night salvia yesterday, if anybody's interested!

April

April - I am interesting in the May Night... but I am not sure what I have left for you! I think sedum and Black Eyed Susan are the only things we haven't traded for! Hmm... what else can I dig? :o)

Weldon

Weldon, thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!! What can i give you for the pink brug? Cheryl

April - i would be interested in dame's rocket and may night salvia.

April I'd some Dame's Rocket and may night too. I have other salvia's, sedum tall 8 inches makes a really nice mound takes sun to part sun, red canna, columbine to name a few thing to trade and other items I'm bring for trading.

I potted up some of my black eye susan and they don't look that great at the moment. I'll bring them and see if they make it. If they look too puny, perhaps I'll have something else to trade (barefoot and element)

I guess my email wasn't working very well, so here is my list as I have it at the moment:

Planopondnut-daylilies (for fall aster)

fairysoapgirl-hosta (for coreposis)

element--black eyed susan (I think) for rose if you have one left.

debbiedo7--chinese lanterns, torch lily and hostas (for tag and something else that I don't remember at the moment--I need to stick to one list :)

toadlily--shasta and/or lanterns (don't remember what I said in my email) for bird of paradise cutting.

tina--canna and medalian for brug (and I emailed you about the mock orange)

mommyfox--balloon flower for lantana (my gingers aren't looking good, so I'm holding off on them until possibly the fall)

mikeandbarb-desert willow for salvia (just some small seedlings at this point).
weldon--pomegrante for brugs (I emailed you that one)

sylvia--hostas for blue mist (I thought I read you didn't get them rooted--that's ok if you don't have them) and la iris

dirtmamma--rock rose for turks cap

seamommy--cleomes (they are white I believe) for brug (I don't care about color)

carrie--torch lily for ??

barefoot--black eyed susan (or something else if they get too puny) for food.

I hope I have it all straight.

alley (alison)

Dirtmomma I will bring you amaryllis. I'm sure I'll find something I would love that you have. If not they need to be thinned out anyway. I'm so confused at this point I think I'll just bring extras and hope to find extra's to trade. I know I won't be disappointed. Maureen

Maureen I know the feeling. I'm tired and worked more than I should Ouch and I'm not done sorting everything out in boxes. Hoping to get that done tonight.

I have done the same, dug up extras just in case I see something I'd like and hope to have something in exchange.

Found a clay window type pot long and narrow, good for sedum's or cactus.

April, If I have something you'd like to trade I would like to try your Gardener's Hand Scrub (sugar scrub w/ shea butter and finely ground pumice), trade value 6.95

Barb

Alley, thanks for reminding me about the brugs.
Darlene, my apologies, I said Debbie for the beard tongue, meaning you. Cheryl, I'll just look at what you have at the swap.
Bringing Killer Caker, spicy crackers and cheese for everyone==as far as it goes.

Weldon

debbiedo-this type doesn't require two to produce fruit. I orginallly just bought one and it did just fine fruiting. It took awhile though. I just love the deep burgundy leaves and the beautiful flower show it produces at the beginning of spring. I really don't eat the fruit b/c its very small. If you still want both of them, I will put you down for them. I already have some stellas, so will just have to check with you at the swap.

Carrie - I don't believe it's perilla magilla. I just love the deep purple and green colors on it. I also use it as an herb. It's great for salads, springrolls and curing a common cold. The scent is very strong so it does help to keep away some bugs. If you are still interested I will bring you some.

Barb - I would like to have one of your texas gold columbine for the purple leaf perilla.

Carla - the white rose is more like a sprawler, it will only get about one feet tall and semithornless. I would love to have cutting of your yesterday, today,tomorrow plant.

Darlene - I'm interested in your cannas. PLMK if there is anything you would like from my trade list or my table at the swap.

Hi Weldon - I'd love a pink coral vine, I have no idea what of mine you'd like but I'll bring whatever I have and maybe you can "browse". I could probably find a Kerria Japonica (japanese rose) or cuttings from a dark pink seven sisters rose (almost red).

Please let me know - THANKS!

Lin (barkingdogwoods)

Attention Debbiedo, Weldon, Planopondnut, Barkingdogwoods and dcarpenter....

I just found out that what I thought was Persian Shield is actually Perilla frutescens. The original seed that I started with was labeled incorrectly. I am sooooo sorry! Now I am feeling even more stressed about the swap!!! First, I am worried that my seedlings are too small and now this. Ugh!

I will competely understand if you don't need/want the perilla and it won't hurt my feelings one bit! I just want everyone to me happy!

Again, my apologies.

Necia

Ack, crap - I just noticed that some of my seedlings have aphids. Anyone know a good way to get rid of them quickly so I don't bring aphids to the swap???

Cheryl, mix 1/3 cup Murphy's oil soap and one tblsp soda to a gallon of water and spray them. It make take a couple of sprayings. This is recommended for spider mites, but works on aphids, also.

necia - don't stress - just come to swap and enjoy and have fun. We've all had plant issues at one time or another. The important thing is the relax and enjoy yourself.

Necia, please don't worry, we're all having fun here. I'll take your Perilla frutescens for my fern and enjoy it. :-) I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. Sounds like the weather will be marvellous!

Hi Necia - I had persian shield one year and it didn't do well for me. Waaayyy too finicky of a plant for me.
You got me wondering.... So, I looked up the plant that you have.
Actually it sounds a lot easier , than the p. shield.
Here is a pic. if anyone's interested in it.
It is a lovely plant and for full sun, can't beat that!
By the way - If you have enough , can you bring me a few?
I, just love the striking color of them!
I will have several xtra plants at the swap and you can browse- pick something you like. Okay? Let me know.
Thank you. tina_2

Hi - I am so glad, you are coming! I got, some great plants from you last time!!!
And, it's so nice to see a familiar face!
I will have xtra plants, maybe you can browse my table and see if you need anything of mine?
As, I know you will have some cooool plants!
Thanks - tina_2

Necia,
don't fret it's not the first time that happened & won't be the last either. haha
I have sprouts that the paper name label got wet & well I have some guessing to do & so will anyone picking them up from our table.

Cheryl,
If you don't have murphy oil - use lemon dish soap mixed 1 tsp to a gal. Spray on plants wash off the next day - do that for a few days til ya don't see any critters. (this will also kill bees & butterflies so be careful & don't get to soap happy) you can also spray your yard for fleas with this method.

See ya Saturday - TOMORROW - OH MY I GOT WORK TO DO

Debbie

Y'all got yer "mommies" backerds:

mommyfox is Julie,
seamommy is Cheryl!

I've been clearing out space by the Tradescent (Tradescant?) roses for artemesia or some such;
plopped a bunch of cannas & daylilies in there a number of years ago, thinking "gold goes with burgundy".

Bleah.

I've given *vivid orange* next to burgundy chance after chance to look better, & it just don't work.

+ I thinned the canna indica Indian shot (coral flowers, attractive to hummingbirds),so I have *boxes* of that as well as green-leaved Wyoming (7'tall orange), lemon yellow Conestoga, & then another box of Kwanzo daylilies.

I'll look at any trade at all;
whatever is left over, I'll take to Ovilla next week, & then it's off to my sis-in-law's in the country.

Make me an offer.

(what a rush it is to talk like Donald Trump!)
bwaaaa haaaa haaaaa

I am a pretty new gardener and all my cuttings failed... the only thing I really have to offer is a few "Moon & Stars" watermelon seeds. Should I even bother coming to the swap?

Hey Sylvia - I will be happy to take the coral cannas!!!!!
Thank you. - tina_2

Hey rebeccaindfw - Yes, come to our swap and you can bring anything, related to gardening.
Such as:

potting soil.
perlite.
peat pots to plant seeds in.
pots of any size , hanging baskets.
bamboo steaks, to keep plants upright.
fertilizers.
garden art.
plant markers.
any type seed packets.
any type plant, cutting, start.
And if you have any plants or shrubs in your
yard- bring some cuttings.
and anything else, the list is endless.......
You can even find a LOT of gardening stuff, at the dollar stores.... for just a dollar. Just in case.
So, come on now!!! We won't let you leave
empty handed!!!lol
Goodluck - tina_2

Weldon, I e-mailed you before I saw your post. Thanks! What else can I bring you?

AprilinTx, I would like some of your dames rocket if you have any left. My tradelist is listed under yesterday's posts. Let me know if you see anything you like.

Kay, I have plenty of cannas. Just drop by my table.

Necia, don't worry about it. I would be happy to share my plants with you anyway. I've already got them packed and ready to go. Thanks!

Darlene

Thank you, tina_2! I have been so bummed out that I don't really have anything to offer.

Speak now or forever hold your peace!=) (I'll be gathering it up around 6:00 tonight!)

April

Sylvia,

I would take some more kwanzo's....I will be bringing lots of nursery pots you are welcome to. I also found a ice plant in the greenhouse (we always called them fire and ice) succulent leaves with tiny hot pinkish red blooms. Would you like a pot of it??

rebeccaindfw- I sent you an email....come see me at the swap!

April -- I missed that you had Dame's rocket! I would love some if you still have any.
Here is what I have left:
coral honeysuckle
volcano salvia
red bee balm
native red salvia (hummers love it!)
purple iris

necia - don't stress - just come to swap and enjoy and have fun. We've all had plant issues at one time or another. The important thing is the relax and enjoy yourself.

Ooooh, Necia, Perilla - that's even better than Persian Shield - something that's not in the garden centers. SCORE!!! That sounds (and looks) like something I'd really like, so I'm all for this trade. I looked it up, and one of the web sites said, "Rub leaves on your skin and clothes on hikes to repel ticks." I can use that in my 15 acres of woods!!

Lin

OH ME GOSH MISS MOLLY!!! I'VE LIED AND MISLED THE WHOLE BUNCH OF YOU. IN MY STUPOR, I'VE BEEN SAYIHNG "CORAL" VINE WHEN INFACT, WHAT I HAVE IS "CYPRESS" VINE. SO SORRY.

rebeccaindfwm, don't you dare miss this swap! I'll have SOMETHNG you can get, just for showing up.

Weldon

ECOVERT, Nice article! I would love some worms, come see me and lets trade!

I have a native red salvia that the hummers love if you want some, or stop by to see what else I have.

ANYBODY ELSE-- have any coral vine?? I had forgotten about it until Weldon posted now I want some!!

Okay everybody - I'm about ready to head home for the day and may not check back in. But for anyone who is directionally challenged and would like my cell phone number it is:
4 6 9 2 3 5 3 5 0 1. Feel free to call if you get lost or can't find us once you get to the park. See y'all tomorrow. Come hungry.

Kay, I put you down for some Texas gold columbine

Boy, y'all have been busy LOL....I'm tired after all the work I did today and still have to load up my truck.

The best I can hope for is that I've kept everyone straight with who get's what.

I have a list so I should be ok and those that are getting more then 2 plants have their own boxes.

See y'all tomorrow

Hi Erin

I'll take some of your worms. Check my table for what you want tomorrow.

Debbie

Thank you, Everyone, for your kind words! I was just a little stressed out earlier. I have all of my plants labeled and boxed up into April's car. Now, it's time for a little Kahulua and Cream!

Tina, I put you down for the last Perilla!

Erin, so glad that you can come! I think that a bag of worms would be really cool. Maybe you can do a little, tiny talk about how to raise them.....! Like Debbie said, just check at my table tomorrow to find something for trade.

Rebecca, thanks for posting your phone number. April and I will be leaving at 8:00 in the morning (right after I stop and buy the donuts! We can never take a road trip without donuts!) Hopefully we won't have any trouble finding our way. Will there be bathrooms at the park?

See you all soon!
Necia

I plan on bringing roses, bagged coffee grounds, and 2 to 3 gal pots.

Dannab1, I have a few coral vine seeds if you want to try them. I don't know anything about getting them to germinate, I haven't tried them yet. Let me know

Hope

Hope,
I will try the seeds! We had the vine in Austin and it seems like babies came up around it that weren't attached.

CASTINGS--Not sure if anyone will see this but a friend gave me a quart ziploc bag of fresh earthworm castings with lots of eggs. If you are interested in a trade she would like something that attracts butterflies or hummers.

danna, believe me, I have enough Kwanzos to go around!

Tina, I have bunches of coral Indicas (April is taking some, & there are still about a million!)

Rebecca, come on out! I my own personal self have 4 o'clocks, cannas, Kwanzo daylilies...easy stuff that *grows*, & you can take quite a bit home!

ecovert, welcome & thanks for the wonderful article!
I will bring you some lamb's ear; it looks only a little bit depressed, so it's on its way to getting perky (lamb's ear always seems to go into a decline when you move it;
it does recover & grows well.)

sylvia
signing off for the night, I hope!

Hi Erin - glad you're coming! I would love some worms, but I really don't know if I have anything (not already spoken for) that you'd want. Maybe you can stroll down to my table - I'll be the frazzled one with the big dog - and look through my "mis-count" stash!

Lin
