2015 Spring Swap HAVE's List

11 years ago

HAVES LIST DOs and DONTs:

DO post a list of the plants you HAVE on this thread. Please add Latin names and cultivar names, as applicable, if you can.

DO list any other garden stuff, such as seeds, tools, pots,
magazines, books, and gnomes, that you wish to swap or give away.
Somebody else might want it!

DO read other people's lists. If you see things you want, please
e-mail the person directly via private e-mail to arrange the trade. To
e-mail the person, click on their name at the top of their post.

DO update your lists when you think of more things you want.

DO feel free to update your member page with your Haves and Wants and
to link your post here to any Plant Exchange page you may have.

DO NOT arrange trades on this thread. Please arrange them via private e-mail.

DO NOT use this thread your Wants. That's what the Want: 2015 MAG spring swap thread is for.

DOs and DONTs for the SWAP:

DO wear a nametag.

DO label your motor vehicle with a big, visible label.

DO mark reserved plants (i.e., plants which you already arranged a trade for) so that other people do not take them by mistake.

DO label your plants. The plant labels do not need to be fancy. Popsicle sticks, plastic spoons, or masking tape are fine.

DO take plants labeled Free or Please Take.

DO ask if you are not sure whether it is ok for you to take the plants.

DO, when you leave, take home the plants you brought that nobody wanted.

DO NOT take anything marked "Reserved" or labeled for someone else.

DO NOT leave any unwanted plants for Gardengramma to have to deal with.

FAQ #1: CAN I COME EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANTS TO TRADE?

Answer: Yes, you can come even though you don't have any plants to
trade. Your main assignment is to bring food or other items for the pot
luck. (Chocolate-containing foods are strongly encouraged.) Please
discuss your potluck contributions at the MAG Spring Swap Food thread,
not here. Also, note that, in many cases, the reason people are bringing
these particular plants to the swap for you to take home is because the
plants are, um, vigorous. In a few years, you, too, will have
lots of plants to trade.

Happy gardening!

    This past weekend I potted up some blue monkshood aconitum napellus. They'll probably still be a little small this year by swap time. I'll have to see what else will be up and dividable and post here in the coming weeks.

    I always have bleeding heart babies to offer. And I have always had balloon flower in the past - I haven't seen them so far this year, but I'm assuming they'll be along before the swap...

    I will also have black eyed susan

  • 11 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Sweet Sakura,

    I can't seem to send you an email. I'd like to get some of your tatarian aster and oregano.

    KimKa

  • 11 years ago

    kimka (Zone 6B) I can't figure out how to send you an email either. I'd like to have the Butterfly bush nanho blue. tkatt1111


  • 11 years ago

    Kimka, Also I'd like elephant ears. Thanks


  • 11 years ago

    Does anyone have coleus? I'd like to have a few plants. My favorite. Thanks


  • 11 years ago

    Is there someone with a good grasp of how to make emails accessible and how to access them who can post the instructions here, so we can move the reserved trading off list. Unlike Gardenweb, where I felt pretty comfortable just dumping my email out there in lots of emails with @ replaced by "at" to defeat the email address robots, I'd like to make it a little less public than putting it here and saying email me.

    I'm happy to fill Tkatt1111's requests; Tkatt111, do you have any plants you are planning to bring that we might trade. I can use almost anything for part shade to full shade?


  • 11 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Tkatt1111, its also a good idea to post your wants over on the 2015 swap want list.

  • 11 years ago

    Like Kimka, I have no idea how to get to the email piece. I have looked at my account and don't see how to generate emails.

  • 11 years ago

    Does this Help Faq have anything to do with what you need?

    You can message any other user on Houzz that has enabled messaging
    for their profile. There are three settings available for messaging on
    your Houzz profile. Click Edit Profile, then Advanced Settings to select
    one of the following options.

    • Do not allow users to message me
    • Allow my followers to message me
    • Allow anyone to message me



  • 11 years ago

    Kimka, thanks for your response. I do not have plants to swap but will contribute to food.


  • 11 years ago

    Sadly, it looks like I will not be able to attend due to job workload issues. I can't seem to edit my earlier post, so please note that that list is now defunct. (Have a fabulous swap!)


  • 11 years ago

    Finally got to look at what is coming up.

    I have:
    climbing hydrangea
    carex ice maiden
    pachysandra
    vinca both solid green and variegated
    lilac Miss Kim
    If you want any of the above please send messages I probably won't dig many unless I am sure they will be taken

    also will bring in limited quantities:
    oregano
    swiss chard
    some wintersown either cabbage or cauliflower but I've lost the label
    a few baby hosta (large green leaves 10" when grown
    daffodils (white with yellow center that fades to light lemon)
    sweet woodruff

    Will add if i find anything more

  • 11 years ago

    hi Lisa: good to know you're coming back even if in turmoil. You don't have messages enabled so if no one else has spoken for the moonflower, i'd love to adopt it

    Thanks See you Saturday


  • 11 years ago

    UPDATE *** I made an oops on my calendar schedule, and found I double-booked myself with the KomenDC race. Sorry, I won't be able to make this year's MAGSWAP. If you all see any plants on my HAVES list that you are interested in, just email me, and we can make alternate arrangements to meet in the Gaithersburg/Bethesda area. Jette (busyasabee)

    meipo aka bugmagnet

    I have tons of chocolate mint and walking onions and will bring a few clumps of each.
    Also have some spare veggie and herb starts including okra, calendula, dill, nasturtium, and maybe some sweet peppers.
    I also have what I think are cup plant seedlings that I'll bring if anyone wants them :)

    I would love love any of these from the lists above (will also post in the wants); posting here because what I read in the FAQ says I can only message someone who follows me, and I'm sure no one does.. apologies for the transgression! variegated hosta (kmpsmom or ssmdgardener?), variegated Solomon's Seal (if any remain, bugmagnet?), bleeding heart (nancy123), and sweet woodruff and small allium (springplanter). I'm on the FB group so can be messaged there if it's easier for anyone else! (ETA: forgot to say my initials on FB are RT)

  • 11 years ago

    Gina, I would love some of your chocolate mint. My little patch died over the winter here. I will look and see if I have any boneset for you.


  • 11 years ago

    Shadysite - I don't think you've enabled your messaging, so I can't email you. I would LOVE some marigolds if it's not too late. Thank you!

    Nancy

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks so much, kmpsmom - just as happy with a variegated hosta if that's easier! :)
    (I enabled messaging by anyone but still don't know how to message anyone else)

  • 11 years ago

    To message someone, you click on their name to go to their profile. On their profile page, click on message and then you get a window to type your message. If there isn't a message box to click on (it should be next to the "follow" box) it's because they haven't enabled it.

  • 11 years ago

    One coreopsis and one golden hosta.

  • 11 years ago

    My Toyota Matrix is now stuffed with plants and I want them all gone, so stop by. In addtion to some of the above, have 7-8 pots of Joe Pye weed; finally had to thin mine out. 16 small dixie cups each of tall verbena and rose campion babies and if you want more we can arrange after the swap.


  • 11 years ago

    Sounds like people are up and about early! Adding to my list above, I am als bringing some Shasta daisies, forget met nots, kalanchoe with pink blooms, hardy geranium NOID with lavender pink blooms, a few peach colored mums, lemon balm, and more I don't remember. Like Larry, I want them all gone too!


  • 11 years ago

    My car is pretty full, too. Most of the plants are pre-arranged trades, but I also have some obedient plant and mint and black-eyed susans to give away to anyone who wants them.
    Liz


  • 11 years ago

    Help with hardy ginger please. Will the person who left out hardy ginger please contact ame with some details? I have looked up but there seem to be a number of varieties and I would love more info on what this one is
    Thanks
