Hey My Garden Friends---Wanda/Columbia will be there. Have no glue who she is telling will not be there. Hope all gets this message.

Wanda

Geez Dave, I would have started a new one but I wanted to see if we could hit 200

E

I'm glad we have a new one! I was hoping for a lot more last-minute posts to read tomorrow! :D

E, apparently 150 posts is the max allowed.

Thanks Dave! I think I will try both. Hmm...I am wishing now I had borrowed a few berries from the white beautyberry I saw at Cheekwood last weekend ;)

Evelyn,

It wouldn't let me post past 150, so we'll just add the two threads together to see if we can make 200!

Steve,

Maybe the San Marzano Seeds. I hear they are pretty good. If you still have that jar of pickles I'd be happy to take that off your hands!

Connie,

DO you have any of the Kumson Forsythias still available?

Wanda do you have any more lacecap hydrangeas?

Steve - Strawberry, Caryopteris for San Marzano T. Seeds, Pickles
Judy - Caryopteris for Sugar Maple
Wanda - Caryopteris, Beautyberry Cutting for Iris
Connie - Caryopteris for Z Climbing Rose
Jenn - Beautyberry for Rose
TNGreenThumb - ? for Elephant Ears
Evelyn - Beautyberry Cutting, Sedums for ?

Was there anything I've missed?

Dave, I had one Kumson Forsythia come out well, and no one has spoken for it yet, so it's all yours! :D It's not very big right now, but it's a good little starter. The leaves on this have very neat variegation. I think you'll like it!

It' Glenda that won't be joining us this year (*mope, *mope. Hope you get to feeling better, Glenda). That's who ladybug meant to reply to, Wanda.

Also, does anyone want a nice aloe plant? This one is fairly mature - I'll keep one, but I just don't feel like caring for two of them again all winter - I need the space for other plants. Any takers?

Dave: I don't have either. =( My San Marzano's never made it this year (massive BER). Maybe you saw that on someone else's list? I have a ton of seeds though...other kinds...mainly peppers. I do have one jar of pickles left I was saving for myself, but would be happy to trade it for the Caryopteris & Strawberries. Or if that's not an even trade for you, please check my list on Part 1. Let me know.

april: I'd love an Aloe plant! =) I have a friend who's been promising me a cutting off his for years that I have yet to get...lol...any special care instructions? What about Winter care?

Steve, for winter, I bring it indoors and put it somewhere where it can get at least a little bit of light. Usually, since I have many plants I overwinter that are light hogs, that means it gets stuck on the floor somewhere, with just a tiny bit of indirect light. But it does okay like that.

They do best if they are a bit crowded in their pot, and they don't reequire a great deal of water. I usually water them about once every three or four weeks in the winter months and they do just fine.

All:

If you need to find me for a pre-trade, I am going to be wearing a dark green coat with polka-dotted gloves and hat. :)

Rhonda, you have never told me what you would like in exchange for the monkey grass! I have something special we're bringing not listed on any of my previous "Haves" posts. Do you like surprises?

Dave, I took your rose cuttings today...I also have rooted roses I'm bringing with pictures in my scrapbook if you are interested in those!
Jenn

Steve,

I'm bring the grape hyacinths for you. Do you have any jalapeno peppers left?

Pat asked for the lotus first so I'm bringing that for her.

Evelyn

Sean: I'd love to trade for some chives. I have a small pot of them, but definitely want to get more started.

This is my current non-spoken-for list of items i'll have:

Haves:

PICKLED STUFF
*2 jars whole (minus stem) pickled cayenne peppers
*2 jars sliced pickled jalapeno's

FRESH STUFF
*green & red cherry tomatoes (2 dozen or so) that can be used for seed or fresh
*green & red Early Girl tomatoes (about 15-20) that can be used fresh or for "what will the hybrid produce?" seed...lol
*about 20-30 green (maybe a few red by swap time) Serrano peppers

SEEDS
###Unless specified, all seeds are taken from plants of mine.
Jalapeno Early Organic (Ferry Morse - store)
Sweet Basil (store)
Garlic Chives (Ferry Morse - store)
Hot Banana pepper family-made hybrid
California Wonder Bell pepper
Yellow bell pepper
Yellow wax bean

I'll probably have some other various stuff too, i'm sure. Let me know if anything looks like a good trade for the chives to you. =)

- Steve

Dave: I just now noticed I do have San Marzano seeds on my list...lol...so, just pick one other thing for the Strawberry & Caryopteris trade then...sorry. =)

Steve,

How about the garlic chives?

OK. My fingers are frozen. I just collected cuttings for everyone who has asked to this point. Beautyberry, Lady Banks Climbing Rose and Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose. You will get three cuttings each. Hopefully at least one will root. Maybe if you're very talented, all three will! I left some berries on the beautyberries when I could, so perhaps there's the possibility of sowing those also.

Evelyn, I hope you are still bringing grape hyacinths for me too!

I'm excited about the swap! Mom and I are getting everything ready and labeling plants tonight.

Connie, You are very sweet. I would feel bad taking your special stuff for liriope. I am going to hold you on taking the liriope though. I made a typo in the previous have/wants post. Wanda (Columbiastock) will be at the swap. I meant to address the post to Glenda who is sick and had to cancel. I am very sorry that Glenda will not be with us tomorrow but most definitely WANDA will be there. I too will be bringing stuff I did not list so come check it out gang. Rhonda

Connie: Awesome...thanks! I'll need your assistance (information) on how to get the Zephrine cuttings goin'. =)

Dave: That'll work.

I must apologize that some plants are just in bags instead of pots since it started raining on me this evening. Also, I am bringing:
celadine poppy
wineberry (like a raspberry)
Black Pearl pepper (I think) for people to take pepper pods for seeds.

In the truck are the following for each person:
april_h_o/April - Oakleaf hydrangea (just ripped out of
ground),
Euphorbia (mole plant)
naked ladies (red spider)
burwoodbelle/Pat - Lotus, Lenten Rose (sorry no Luxury Lace)
Columbia Stock/Wanda - "pardon me" "Siloam Double Classic"
Connie - amsonia huebrechia (sinced you asked nicely)
grape hyacinths (please put me on the list for
"Black Stockings" for the next swap and we'll
figure out what I can bring you)
new-gardener123 - redbud
tn_veggie_gardner-grape hyacinths

Hope I remembered everyone. See you in the morning!

Evelyn/Irisaddict

Evelyn! You are the best!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

Question--is anyone worried about the plants staying in the cold, considering some have just been potted within the last 'say' 4-3 weeks besides me? Maybe have boxes and coverings? Some suggestions.

Wanda

Connie Grape hycinths for some shasta daisies?

Rebecca Moonflowers/Grape hycinth/chives for Solomons seal, chamomile and rose of sharon?

Steve I'll have some chives for you.

Ok, my final list is this:

1 pink bleeding heart
3 clumps of monkey grass
2 orange Asiatic lillies
4 yellow canna lillies
4 hellebore's (Lenten rose) green
1 Hosta
Several 1 gallon pots
Several hand painted stones that look like lady bugs of numerous colors.
A few hand painted larger stones that say Bless This Garden.

Looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow!

Blessings,
Jennifer

jjireh, yes! That would be awesome! Come find me!

Jennifer, don't know if you'll see this before tomorrow, but I'm interested in several things on your list: Monkey grass, yellow canna and orange Asiatic lily. Hope we can trade! :)

Evelyn: Thanks...you're awesome! I give you permission to eat the last piece of chicken now. ;-)

jjireh: Thanks! I'm sure i'll have something you'll like.

columbiajen: I'd love one of your stones. I think I saw them in the Spring & they look neat! =)

- Steve

Steve and Connie absolutely would love to trade!
