lol, I hope I would notice that!

Tonya, I can divide my pepper again, so I'll definitely bring one for you.

Thanks Shirley, that would be great.

I also have some cherry tomato seedlings, if anyone is interested.

Shirley, I have a crinum for you.

Kathy

Thank you Kathy

Shirley

Okay, our revolving plans now have me here the weekend of the swap, so unless something else happens, I plan to be there.

Linda, Kathy, Jolana, Shirley, Tonya -- I have sent you a personal email about the trades that we have been talking about.

patty

I'm so glad to hear that Patty is going to 'make the swap' -- in more ways than one :-) but unfortunately I won't be there. And it seems the 'fortune' is my own fault. I wrote down a retreat date wrong and then carefully checked it before getting the permit for the fall swap. Oh well, you can guess the rest of the story. But I got the other three retreat dates right! LOL

Anyway Kathy will be bringing the plants that have been promised and I will get any trade plants the next go round -- or not -- IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER! Like rest of you I just like to pass along plants to those who want them so don't worry about saving them for me. Go ahead to trade them with someone else. Plus I don't want to load Kathy down in bringing things back, keeping track of them and all that.

So y'all have fun! I'm VERY much looking forward to seeing ALL OF YOU at the spring swap :-)

I just wanted to say that I finally remembered I have a potted pregnant onion if anyone wants it. And this morning I noticed how many bluebonnet seedlings have come up where I don't want them, so I potted up half a dozen...we'll see if they all survive. May get more, too!

Tonya

wow, Tonya.

I thought I was up early on GardenWeb and I find you and Kathy were still here before me.

did you see Kathy's post at the top of Texas Gardening about the weather forecast for our day ? Read my reply.

patty

jolanaweb,

I'd love some of your:

flame acanthus
redbud (as many as you'd be willing to part with)
african iris (dietes)

Is there anything on my trade list (5 posts above) that you'd be interested in?

dstartz/Donna

Hello everyone -
I've been lurking for the last couple years, silently learning from your wisdom and my own trial-and-error as I clean up the 20yo overgrown landscape around my house. I would love to meet my unwitting mentors in person! ;) I don't have much to offer at the swap, just a bunch of plastic nursery pots (mostly 4" and 2-gallon sizes), and about 100 little orange daylilies of some sort (I think - I only saw a couple buds before the deer ate them). I could dig up some purple "wandering jew" or some of the many succulents (euphorbias? my grandma called them "mouse ears") that grew out of an abandoned houseplant.

Here's the stuff I'm looking for but haven't been able to find yet at the nurseries:
- cast iron plant
- sweet autumn clematis
- passionflower vine
- crinum
- ginger

Hope to meet y'all next weekend! Thanks for all your help already -
Meredith

Meredith, come on!
It doesn't make a difference whether you have plants to trade. It is always nice to have a new victim......er..um swapper.
So quit lurking!

We all have plenty of things to share and DO NOT want to pack them up and haul them home.

Remember you need to bring your own lunch and or beverage.

Are you in San Antonio?

I have you down for:
white passion vine
dancing ginger

Kathy

I forgot about name tags. If you want, you could pick up a couple packages of those stick on name tags, if that would make you feel better.

Okay Patty I read your post on discussions about your dream, too funny

I sent emails thinking I was posting on here, LOL

I have cast iron plant I'm bringing it in a hefty but it will be fine, okay?

Incense passion vine
Sweet Autumn Clematis, potted up after gopher attack but coming back, want it?

Donna - dietes
Redbud - I've only seen one but will look for more
Flame Acanthus

Donna, I would love the Fire Spike and a Butterfly plant if you have plenty
Thank you

Wow, thanks, y'all! You're very generous :) I will bring my lunch, stick-on nametags, and some money for the pavilion rental (I think I saw that suggested somewhere on here).

Can't wait! :)
- Meredith

p.s. Yes, I live in San Antonio.

Thank you, jolanaweb!

jolanaweb & Tonya,

I was just rereading this thread - I have several different varieties of oleanders I grew from cuttings I collected around South Texas. If y'all would be interested I'd be more than happy to bring some cuttings in water for y'all. (That's how I rooted all of mine.)

I have a petite clear pink, cherry red from a plant that was well over 10' tall, a 6'+ off white & a 6'+ med pink.

Thursday & Friday are good days for root development, so I would collected them then.

LMK,

dstartz/Donna

Donna, thanks for thinking of us and the oleander. I would love any cuttings you can spare, we are trying to plant a bunch of them on some new property we have. I have one that I have rooted some from in water, but my success rate is not so great. I think I have had 2 root out of 10-15 cuttings. What is your secret to getting them to root?

Tonya

Hey y'all -
I found a 1 gal. duranta erecta at Lowe's for $1.50, then got home and realized it was deer candy and would never survive in the spots I have available. So if anyone would like it, I'd be happy to bring it to the swap.

Hi meriberi!

Please bring it to the swap, I am getting one from someone else, but if nobody else wants yours,I will take it off your hands. They are very pretty.

If anyone one else wants it, by all means you go first!

Tonya

I'm glad you decided to join us and I look forward to meeting you.

Hey, Jolana !

you forgot me ! :-(

I have the 2 salvia madrensis for you, and you were bringing African iris and feather grass for me.

Since Roselee can't make it, I picked up her trades today and will be bringing the plants she has for you. I'll deliver her goodies back to her when she gets back from her field trip.

Phoenix, I left a message for you on the other thread, on the first page of Tx Gardening, where you put more of your list.

I'd also like some of the cactus/succulent soil for my babies that need something different. I didn't know you had it last year.

:-)
patty

Patty,

Put me down for variegated artemesia.

Thanks - Shirley

Hi y'all -
I'm really looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow! Thanks for your generosity (especially Jolana and Kathy). Tonya, I will bring the duranta for you, along with nametags and money for the pavilion.

Phoenix, if you happen to see this in time, I'd be interested in your crinum, but I don't have anything to offer in exchange (unless you want some orange daylilies or plastic nursery pots). So no expectations, but if it needs a home, I'd be happy to oblige!

Can't wait to meet you all tomorrow!
- Meredith

Well, all I can say is, "you guys have fun", and no dueling over plants ...........LOL>

Thanks Carrie

I am bringing a couple of baby Turk's cap

Roselee, we missed you. I just wanted to tell you that I got all of your plants, including the Cherry so be expecting a ransom letter when you return, lol

Linda, if you read this would you please email me, please
If you would do it through GW so I don't have to write my addy here if you don't have it, Thank you
jolana

Linda or Linda? I think there was two at the swap...or am I mistaken?

Linda that I traded with, lol

you silly.

Jolana, did you get my email?

No ma'am I didn't

Well, for yahoo.com, mine is flameflowerx. Don't know how many times I've tried to email people on GW...and it doesn't get through. One thing I like about DG's site, their d-mail always works!

I know, that reminds me, I need to check my email with yahoo and d mail
Okay I will go through there

"Well folks!
Had a lot of you ask if we can get together and have a swap before the SA Festival one. YEP!
Over at Vivians Saturday morning on May 22nd. She has been gracious enough one time to host a swap and she is doing it again!"

Plant Swap and You are very welcome to come!! Started out as a Bloomin' Buds activity, but got posted on craigs list and has now opened itself up so - more plants!!
22 May - About 9:30/10 am 'til everyone is done.

For trading newbies: Everything may be traded as long as plants are healthy and have true leaves started. Labeled cuttings with care instructions, rooted cuttings, Seeds (especially rare types) are welcome. Bare root is acceptable for appropriate plants. Please label plants/seeds if you know what they are.

If you have no plants to trade: Probably no cash, but you can trade potting soil, mulch, anything a gardener might want or need. For instance, I am laying garden walks, so I am quite willing to trade for bricks, flagstones and 2"x4's!! We also welcome shares for new arrivals to the area who have no plants to trade.

btw: My neighbor is having a garage sale the same day.
