HAVE: my common for your common

19 years ago

I did this once before and it turned out well, so thought I'd try it again. I'm listing things that I have plenty of in my gardens; nothing fancy, just things that do well here in zone 6. Maybe you have a similar list and would like to trade some of your "over load" for mine? I only ship plants in boxes and get delivery confirmation; please be willing to do the same before you respond to this post.

I'm not willing to send out boxes for postage; I set things aside for my garden club's fund raisers and there are two annual swaps in my area so I have plenty to do with my excess.

So, whacha got?

chocolate loosestrife (not scented, just brown with yellow flowers.)

tall phlox; mix of white, pink, lavender

ginger canadense

archangel

calendine poppies

geranium, hardy with large leaf and pink flowers

solomon seal and false solomon seal (when not flowering, I can't tell it apart)

monarda, bee balm, red and lavender

false sun flower, heliopsis

lunaria, honesty, money plant

may apple

tulip poplar seedlings

kwanso day lily

spearmint and "regular" mint

oregano

wine berry shoots

grape iris (lavender in color, smells like grape medicine)

violets, I think they are all purple but there may be soft yellow mixed in.

    I would simply LOVE to try some of your calendine poppies. I have the perfect bed for these jewels and it sounds like they may be hardy in zone 5?

    The only things I have excess though are:

    Obedient Plant (pink)
    Evening Primrose
    Some SMALL Campanula Punctata "Elizabeth" (invasive)
    A SMALL sprout of Rose Campion

    Do either of those interest you at all?

    Thank you,
    Kim

    Red and the purple bee balm would be great, if you have extra fellow PA'er. I think I have everything listed on my swap page but I also have extra hostas of dark green with yellow edge and blue with green edge, I have Cupid's dart started from Ws'd seed that is growing nicely also.

    I've responded to everyone, but apparently the emails do not always make it through GW. If you have not heard from me....it got lost on the internet and I'm waiting to hear from you. If you post here, I'll get that and try again. Glad to see that others are using this as a starting post to trade with others for their excesses. Thanks to everyone for jumping in.

  • 19 years ago

    Thanks to everyone for the trades. I'm officialy signing off. What has not been traded is now being potted for my garden club's next plant sale in July.
