Cheryl

Cheryl

Ruthz, I am interested in the luna moth ginger. Please look over my list and if there is anything you like for a trade let me know. Cheryl

Just about anything shade or sun.

Dorothy B.

Revised list:

Haves:
Nursery Pots. Most less than 5 gallons.

- 10 1 gallon pots
- 10+ 1 inch pots

3 small Taros (elephant ears) Can be planted in the water or in a moist flower bed.

Adora Brug cuttings - very small about 1 ft cuttings. I could pot them this weekend if you want, they might even be rooted by then.

Trellis Pieces - I will only bring these if someone wants one. These range from almost a full sheet to ones that are 2 or 3 ft wide and about 4 ft tall. The smaller ones make great mini trellis' for container and new plant supports.

about 40lbs of homemade compost. Its nice and black.

A lot of seeds

Wants:
House plants for low light.
Turks Caps
Hardy Hibiscus (reds and pinks)
Blue Agave

Mike,

I might be able to get you some Confederate rose cuttings for you. Call me or send me an email so we can talk more about it.

Element, looks like I won't need those trellis after all, DH went out and bought new ones for me yesterday, sorry.
I do have some hardy hibiscus, but they are yellow and orange, called Sunset. I'm bringing a few of them.

Dorothy, I have a grunch of society garlic for you.

I am looking for the plastic plant markers that come with plants that you buy from stores like Lowes, HD, Walmart, etc. I need the ones that have the pictures of the plants on them. Any size is OK, up to about 3". I'm doing an art project and could use any that you care to part with. If they are too old and brittle to cut with sissors I can't use them, but if they are only a year or two old, they will be fine. I will have a lot of miscellaneous small plants, pots and stuff to trade for them.

Mike B, I wasn't going to bring the orange daylilies, but I will dig them if you want that color. How many would you want? I only have about 4 gozillion...and one shovel.

Sylvia, I will have some special painted clay pots for you in trade for those roses. Is there anything in particular that you are looking for? Color themes are optional, otherwise I just paint what strikes my fancy at the time that I put the pot on the table.

Cheryl

Cheryl, no color scheme in mind, but I do like greens & aquas & bright colors.

Mike, I can bring pigeonberry & Turk's cap, both shade-ish plants.

I like daffodils & iris, if you have enough.

Mike - could I please, please, pretty please get some Red Hot Poker from you? It has been on my wish list for a lonnnnng time.

Bare Foot- I will bring you some poker.

Sylvia, I will bring you iris and dafs, got lots of both. I have turks cap but would be interested in pigeonberry.

Cheryl, orange is great as I love day lilies, I know you have explained a gozillion before but I don't have that much room so maybe 1/2 a gozillion. I have some of plant markers I will bring you.

Daylilies it is, Mike.

Sylvia, I love aqua too. I brought in a big pot last night and was looking at it and thought, this one would look good in aqua!

Element, I would love an Adora brug cutting. I have a great houseplant that does very well in low light.
Cheryl

Hey Everyone, Hope the swap goes good and the sun keeps shining for ya'll. I won't be attending this year because of foot surgery that will not heal.

Cheryl, If you send me an address I will send the Hollyhock seed I promised.

Brenda, I never did have any frogs this year first time ever but when Sylvia spotted the snake we figured they got ate. The snake met a fatal accident so maybe next Spring they'll be back.

I have seeds of Yellow an Pink 4 O'clocks,Cherry Cleome,Purple,pink White Larkspurs. for anyone who wants them. Just send me a address and what you would like.

Have fun!

Brenda, I forgot that you wanted frogs. I have tadpoles and have a lot of little frogs too. I'll try to catch some frogs if I can, but I know I can catch the tadpoles so I'll bring you some if you would like them. Cheryl

Okay! I just got word last night that the Mesquite Pee Wee Football League made a mistake! We didn't make it to the playoffs after all. I get to come to the swap!! Yeah!!

Okay, here's my wish list:

Element: I'm interested in one of your adora brugs and some of your trellis pieces for pots. See my list above and see if anything interests you.

Mike: I'm interested in your banana tree. Please see my list above and see if I can bring you anything from it.

RunningGardener: I'm interested in your hummingbird shrub, eve's neckalce, and cowpen daisies. What are you looking for? Please also see my list above.

Ruthz: I'm interested in your blue potato vine. Can I bring you something from my list?

Thanks!

Darlene

Yay, Darlene!

I'll bring you a Cashmere Bouquet for St John's Wort!

just a reminder...

Please read the other threads about rules & etiquette.

We want everyone to have a good time, & we do *not* want anyone to be taken advantage of.

If your trading partner does not bring you what you thought you were getting or does not bring you anything at all (we've had trouble in the past with claims of total gadren failure by the same person for several swaps in a row), you do *not* have to hand over your nice plants.

You can say sorry, no thanks.

If the person wanted to be fair, he/she would let you know in advance & offer you an alternative, such as brownies or flower pots or tools.

The key word here is brownies - I'm pretty sure Sylvia will trade you her car for a pan of them, and maybe some good coffee to go with it. And come to think of it, I'm quite fond of brownies myself.

I'm really looking forward to this swap. I will actually have more painted pots than I was expecting to have. Should have at least one for everyone in attendance. I will also be bringing more plants than I thought I would have.

Mike, I thinned my daylilies yesterday and filled a half-bushel basket for you. You may not want that many so I'll bring some grocery sacks so you can pick out the ones you want. I actually only thinned one 12' flower bed but they were very thick. You're gonna want to plant them about 1' apart.

Need to start thinking about a door prize too. Remember you have to bring one if you wanna get one. I've noticed that the quality of prizes has gotten better each year. First couple years there were some dusty old macrame yarn plant hangers and embroidered owl pictures. Last year there were some really nice goody bags with balms, soaps, gloves, garden totes and small garden hand tools.

Cheryl

Thank you, Sylvia! Cheryl, I'm interested in your red monarda and shasta daisies. Is there anything from my list above that interests you. If not, I might can dig up some noid variegated ginger for you for shade. Just let me know. Thanks!

I'm a new gardener and don't have a lot to trade. So I will be bringing:

Brownies
Purple Wandering Jew
Lavender Iris

dcarpenter -
I can get a couple of brugs for you. They will be less than 2 feet long w/o a branching. Its about to blush again :) I will cut them and put them in water tomorrow. As for the green running elephant ears. Are those the greens one that are sometimes called taros? What size trellis pieces are you looking for? I would like to trade for the Rock Rose...

Seamommy -
Thats great the whole ones might do better for you. As for the hardy Hibiscus sunsets, sound like a great plant. Are they plants, cuttings or seeds?I can trade those for the brugs. How many are you wanting?

Cheryl - I'll bring you plant markers (or ?? from my list) in exchange for the society garlic you mentioned.

Have had no other responses to my "have" list - so will just bring a variety for "on site" trades.

Brenda - did you see anything on my list you want??

Dorothy B.

welcome Sigrid_r,
Look over my list and see if there is anything I can trade you for some brownies, I love brownies.

Darlene I got the banana tree for you, got my eye on the Green Runners or the salvia volcano.

Does anybody have any Tall Blue Mealy Sage? Mine passed away during the move.

Here are the trades that I would like to have, if everyone approves/agrees/concurs:

MikeB - Orange Daylilies for Gerbera Daisies

Dirtmomma(Dorothy) - Society Garlic and ??? for Crinum

Element - Hardy Hibiscus and Houseplant for Adora Brug and Confederate Rose cuttings

DCarpenter(Darlene) - Monarda and Shasta Daisies for NOID Variegated Ginger

Sylvia - Painted Pots and Plant Stand for Roses and maybe a tiny sprig of Apple Mint too please? (BTW, you got me confused with Dirtmomma about the Oak Leaf Hydrangea, but if she already promised it to someone else, I will gladly bring you some cuttings)

Brenda - Tadpoles

Armbarangel - Hardy Hibiscus for Baby Century Plant

RuthZ - ??? for Luna Moth Ginger

My Revised List is:

Light Blue Passion Vine
Spring Blooming Violets
Red Monarda
Shasta Daisy Clumps
Hardy Hibiscus
Garden Pots and Seed Starting Flats
Painted Flower Pots (terra cotta)
Glass Garden Totems (For a sunny location)

I won't have any seeds this time.

Cheryl

So far only 5 people have posted on the head count thread. If you haven't done so already, please post to let me know who is coming and how many in your party. Chery - I would love to have tadpoles.

ruthz - if you have enough japanese morning glory seeds, I would like to have some in exchange for lunch.

Anybody I haven't agreed to a swap with yet, I'll probably just wait till the swap. I have trouble keeping up with the posts sometimes. Guess I'm gettin senile in my old age.

Sylvia - Ruben wants some choclate mint. Silly man loves that stuff.

Element, the brug cuttings sound good to me. I will also bring you the rock rose. Not sure about the green runner elephant ears. I just know they get huge and run like crazy! I need some trellis pieces for vines that I have growing in pots, so whatever size you think would be okay. I'm not picky.

Mike, green runner elephant ears and salvia volcano it is! Thanks.

Seamommy, I'll dig the ginger tonight and see how it goes. It's so pretty.

Thanks.

I also have the following to add to my list:

variegated morning glories
sunchokes
umbrella palm
green perilla
purple perilla
horsetail rush
lemon balm
variegated carex (I think that's what it is)

Mike,
I would like to try the red hot poker (that sounds kinda naughty). I would also like some day lilies. How many brownies can you eat??

Everyone else,
I guess I fibbed about my purple wandering jew. I started them several weeks ago but only two of them actually have rooted. I borrowed them from a neighbor and I'm sure if I went back I could get some if anyone would like.

I'm still good for brownies and Lavender Iris'. I also have two tiny red buds. When I say tiny I mean they are about 3 inches tall.

I have a couple of 6' Texas native redbud trees that DH wants to move or cut down. Not sure if we could dig them out but if we can I will bring them. Cheryl

dcarpenter, I didn't get the cowpen daisies transplanted before they got too big. I do have lots of cowpen daisy seeds. I will bring the hummingbird shrub and Eve's necklace for you. The Eve's necklace is 2 years old and is still very small.

At this moment, I have no specific wants other than something that doesn't need a lot of TLC and can handle the heat.

I also have some creeping phlox (blue), a native phlox that blooms in the spring - common name bouncing Betty and a guara. If anyone is interested I have some compass plant and liatrus seeds along with a few West Texas yellowbell seeds.

If I can summon the strength, I can separate a couple of forsythia volunteers from the mother shrub if anyone wants them.

Running Gardner: Cowpen daisy seeds will be just fine. Everything on my list doesn't require a lot of TLC and can handle the heat. Just pick whatever you like. I think I would also like to try some of your compass plant seeds. Thanks!

Dorothy, please look over my list & let me know what I can bring you for a red yucca if you have enough.

Sigrid, I'd love some brownies! & lavender iris if you have enough. Please let me know what I can bring you.

I'll check back on this site late Thursday.

Dorothy B.

dirtmomma, if you can trade the oakleaf hydrangea for something you want, please don't hold it for me.
I probably won't bring much other than pre-trades, unless it's already potted.

dcarpenter -
I will bring what I can for the Trellis and brugs. Okay I think we may have the same stuff. I am trying to get rid a couple of that I potted up over the summer. Are you in an SUV or a Truck?

Cheryl -
I went out and checked on the Confederate Rose and none of the plant's branches are ready to be used as cuttings. To small and thin. If you want to try I could cut some, but I doubt they will take root. I am hoping to to get more cuttings from the original Plant in Nov. If it hasn't died back from Winter Frost. Check back with me in the Spring... Sorry about that.

So it looks like will only be trading the brug cutting for the Hardy Hibiscus.

I just went outside and dug/potted a few things if they survive:

ajuga (2)
tall bearded iris (3 small)
lavender grape scented bearded iris (1 small)
baby 4:00's probably light orange (2)
Ming Toy daylily (1)
