Sorry, J D 's special C - Tex is not a cherry type tomato.
You can find various information if you google it.
This is from Tatiana's tomatobase.

80 days, indet., regular leaf plants, average production of round, 8-12 oz purple-black fruits, outstanding flavor. Developed by a JD in Conroe, Texas, exact history is not known for certain, but it is thought to be a stabilized selection from a cross between Brandywine x an unknown black, based on info that was passed on when seeds were shared with a fellow tomato grower about 3 years ago.

I wish I knew the name of that tomato plant, Ruth......it has been a lifesaver for me ......... just give it a little water and it will provide you with tomatoes until frost.

I've been looking for some to produce during the summer months.
The cherry/grape tomatoes are supposed to handle the heat better.
I saved the seeds from a couple of tomatoes I brought home from your house in November.
Germination was very good on them. I have several extra plants.

They are "volunteering" in my garden,,,,,,,,,LOL>

Sounds like I need one of those tomato plants. :)

Or two...........or three........

WOW, this place seems to be THE place! Thanks Carrie for filling me in. Altho I will be out of town on the 15th, I hope to get some things to Carrie (just what she needs... another load of plants) I promise that it won't be a big load.
Some of what I would consider.
Rooted cutting of Buck's Quietness rose
small pregnant onions
young scheflera (small leaf) plants
possible Irsene (BEAUTIFUL red)
OK, I said Not a Big load.
Things that I would consider trading for:
Old HARDY, fragrant roses (1800's or early 1900)
Named reblooming daylillies ( might should wait until Fall after they have bloomed)
Hosta
things HARDY and shade loving.

Weldon
The Grass is Greener Where you Water it.

Anyone wanting to trade with Weldon, please post here and I will take his plants to the swap, and bring back what you trade. I will get them to him at a later date.

I'm hoping to make it,though I don't have much to trade (the winter wiped out a lot of my perennials)

I do have:
Chocolate mint
Obedient Plants
4O'clocks (speak up if you might want any -I weed these out of my garden)

Carolyn

We're 2 weeks out!!!

Posted my list of 'haves' in the thread titled:

Denton County Spring Plant Swap 2011

Here is a link that might be useful: DFW Plant Exchange

This is a great forum, but if you have difficulty navigating it, please feel free to post here.......... I check here daily, and I am certain others do as well.

The Ft Worth swap was a blast. We got to meet a few new people & of course always good to see old friends.

We seem to have lots of plants left over - even with twisting peoples arms to take more at the ft wth swap.

My next door neighbor, Donna & myself plan on attending & hopefully distribute these fine babies & adopt some new plants for the garden. It's been at least a year or 2 since we visited with ya'll out in Denton.

Looking forward to Sunday the 15th ;o)

Melvalena -I'd love a papyrus division.

You got it Equinecpa!

I also have prickly pear pods and a large yucca plant if anyone might want.

Hollyhock starters
Hollyhock seeds
Shasta Daisy starters
Oak tree starters

Some others starters that need to be verified so off to Calloways on Monday.
Will also be bringing a red wagon to share for transporting plants.

Okay, fellow gardeners, after surveying my position with plants, I would like to know if anyone would like to come back by my house (I live a short distance from the swap) and pick up tall red cannas (they are excellent for hummers) or wood ferns? I will not be able to bring these to the swap as they are too heavy to load and unload and carry the distance to the swap. Or, if you live near by and would like to pick these up in advance....email me please.

My apologies to all, Carrie in particular, I will not get my
plants to Carrie for the swap. I am swamped!, Tired and plumb
worn out. Have fun, enjoy and hope to see you in the fall.

Weldon

Ruth, I would like to request a castor bean, a Center of Calm and Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate. I have nothing unusual to offer this year, but how would you like a Phygelius (red) that grows well in part shade?

Lady in Red salvia
Blue Mist flower -- 2 small
Turk's Cap -- 1 small
Mexican hydranges...1
Henry Duelberg salvia ---1 small
Creeping Jenny
Large leaf sedum (blooms yellow_
Flame Acanthus
Datmansia ---- 1 but have lots of seed for these

I just removed my prickly pear cactus -I have pads of that available if anyone want some. It's the kind with thorns and yellow bloom. Very hardy.

I can also bring fresh cuttings of black/blue salvia (sorry I haven't rooted any but can cut that morning)

Carrie-I'd be interested in sedum..I was just about to post that I'm looking for some. I'm looking for small succulents to fill a cute pot I have.

Does anyone have any creeping rosemary? I've only seen large expensive pots at the nurseries I've been to this Spring..just looking for a couple of small specimens for a pot.

Okay, will add the sedum to your list. My creeping rosemary froze this past winter.......guess it's roots just couldn't take all that freezing weather.

I'll put your name on those Carrie.
Let me know if I have anything else you'd like.
Your bringing Crinum for me.

Yes, I am ..........is that all you want??? Need another willow swithch for rooting???

Carrie, I'm sure there will be stuff at the swap that I'll think I can't live without.

I would really like a Meyer Lemon cutting if anyone has one.
I keep eyeing them at the nursery but they are rather expensive.
I can bring a few cuttings of Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro' if anyone would like some.

I thought of something else I have if anyone is interested.... Rudbeckia herbstsonne. These are NOT potted so will not be bringing except by request.

Hey everyone! Its almost time!

Don't forget your door prize item. Put it in a gift bag with a gift tag that has YOUR name on it. If it won't fit in a bag, then just put the tag on the item.

I'll bring hot coffee service, and a cooler with iced down bottled water.

here's my list:

rooted brugmansia cuttings, not potted:
UConn (1)
Eternity (2)
Cherub white (4)

The following are in pots:

small potted yarrow white (6)

Verbena bonariensis sprouts (11)

salvia greggii sprouts (4)

Umbrella Papyrus divisions from mother plant (5)
--1 promised to Carolyn

Curry Tree: Murraya koenigii (1)

Plants from Carrie's garden:
small potted wood ferns: (5)
potted mock orange (2)
potted giant crinums white (11)

Carrie, is this the Rudebeckia with the large leathery leaves that you brought to the fall swap? I got two from you and I couldn't remember the name.
Thanks,
Susan

I am looking for a Mexican Buck Eye Tree

2 - 4 tomato plants (small cherry or grape size)

1 -2 Okra plants

Bringing columbine seeds, hollyhock seeds (2010) hollyhock plants & daisy plants in pots. I thought it was basil (purple) plants but now don't know but will bring it anyway. It is growing in my front garden.
**My scrapbook of my front yard.**
My wagon to transport.

Any questions please call me. I don't think I will be on the computer this weekend. 469-223-0982 Gretchen's cell

1 or 2 okra plants

Anyone have any lambs ear they can part with?

Gretchen, I can bring you some tomato plants that are volunteers for me. It is a large "cherry" that produces all summer until frost.

Susan, I think I brought some of these to the last swap. I grow them mostly for their foliage.......makes an excellent border plant.

In checking, I have decided that my volunteer basil is not going to come back this year..........I put the greenhouse over it, and it is sulking. If anyone has any extra they would like to share, I would appreciate it.

Carrie, I looked up Phygelius (red) and I would like one if you have enough, if I can trade you something other than seedlings for it.
I have a White Variegated Duranta or a small Acanthus spinosa. I also still have several Bridal Bouquet Asarina.
Or let know what I have that you'd like.
I don't remember if you got one of the asarina vines in the fall, but I tried overwintering one inground and it did survive.

Oh, that is so good to know about the asarina, Ruth.....I did get one in the fall, but overwintered it in the greenhouse......now I know I can put it outside if yours survived last winter. Wonder how well it would do in part shade????
The phygelius is potted, but not very large, Ruth and I will be happy for you to have it. I will put it with your crinums.
See you tomorrow..............

I drove around yesterday and this morning passing out fliers about our swap to homes that looked like someone gardened.

One lady has emailed me back her list of plants she can bring.
I asked her to please post them here. I hope she does.

So there's a good possibility there will be more people there who aren't posting here.

melvalena, my 10 year old grandson Mason is coming with us.
He'll help anyone who needs him to.

That's great, Ruth..............I will probably need help. Thanks !!!!!!!!

Wonderful Ruth!!!
See y'all there soon.

Thanks to everyone who made this such a great swap, and my especial thanks to Gail who worked so diligently to make it fun for all of us..........see you in the Fall.

I hope everyone is happy with what they went home with. (or with out. If anyone has questions about something they took home, just post and we'll try to answer them.

Thanks to everyone who made it out and spent such a wonderful afternoon with us.

It's so appreciated that ya'll put the swap together! Had a great time yesterday meeting so many nice fellow garden addicts! Came home with a trunk full and still having a blast finding new homes for all of my new plant babies! :)

What a great swap, it was good seeing old friends & meeting new friends. We were hoping to off load (hehe) more stuff & we ended up coming home with the same amount after getting our wonderful new plants.
Thank You to all that swaped with us - now to free cycle the rest.
Hope to see you in the fall.
Gail & Carrie you did a fabulous job!!
Debbie

Thanks for a great swap.
Some pictures

OH my gosh!! Some one took pictures!!!
I had my camera and planned to do it, but just forgot. Thank you Ruth for taking the photos!

I'm so delighted with what I went home with. I've been out in the yard off and on trying to get them in the perfect spots while grand baby naps. Its slow, but gives me time to think and plan. :)

Thanks, Ruth and Dan...........great shots. I went home with much more than I intended to, but no surprise there.

Great Pictures. Thanks for posting them
