Spring Fling 2021 plant list

5 years ago

I figured I’d go ahead and start this so that those of us starting plants now can start what we need or make offers for SF. I’m intending this to be in companion to the separate grow lists posted earlier this month.


I just started my last 7 seeds of the Costoluto Genovese tomatoes that Dawn sent me several years ago. I’ll plant at least one here, if they grow, so if they do I can share. We all need a little piece of Dawn in our harden this year.

    HJ, I’ve got a bed full of paste tomatoes. Is there anyone at church who cans? Any food banks with gardens?


    Megan...I only need one Bertha after today’s shopping trip. *hangs head in shame*


    Once I finish planting tomatoes tomorrow and separate what I’m giving to my boss, I’ll know what I have. Although, it sounds like we have enough of those.

  • 5 years ago

    HJ, I gave away all my leftovers on freecycle last year. Guy showed up & scooped them all.

  • 5 years ago

    I need paste tomatoes. Jennifer and I have you down for all that

  • 5 years ago

    Very few requests (and I'm bringing nothing to trade, sadly).

    We could use a few bearded iris (any color), and perennial flowers that are dependable in sandy loam and that do well in partial shade to shade.

    So appreciate you all - can't wait!


    Sharon

  • 5 years ago

    I have flat-leaf Italian parsley volunteering is an wants some.

  • 5 years ago

    Sounds like Sharon needs some evening primrose, too. LOL I know! Wild geraniums (cept I don't have any for you.); aquilegia (again, I don't have any I can spare); heuchera?

  • 5 years ago

    Kim, I wouldn’t mind trying a Craig’s Grande Jalapeño?


    Megan, is the parsley coming back from last years plant, or is it volunteers from seed?

  • 5 years ago

    Wild evening primrose would be ok if it doesn't grow too tall (like over 20-24" or so).

    Heuchera would be lovely if anyone has any :)

  • 5 years ago

    That's just about how tall it grows, Sharon; maybe just a little shorter, 16-20" in my yard. Do you all remember how Dawn warned us about it??

  • 5 years ago

    Bruce, the parsley is coming up from seed dropped by last year's plants. I had it in a pot. This is coming up in the dirt next to the pot.

  • 5 years ago

    Megan, if you pot any up, save me one?

  • 5 years ago

    I’m adding a couple of tomato varieties to the list of plants I’ll have available.

    True Black Brandywine and I’m playing with some seed I saved from mini Kumato.

    The later is purely an experiment and who knows how they’ll grow out?

    Nancy -- Jet Setter and Cardinal Climber

    Rebecca -- Cardinal Climber

    Lisa -- Cardinal Climber ???

    Amy, if the LB petunias show up, I'll scoop some of those up. There is something coming up, but I don't remember what it is. I recognize it, though. I would hate to bring you a common weed. LOL. Possibilities would be LB petunia or possibly morning glories. But, a comparison picture doesn't look like either. I'll take a picture of it.

    Regina, I have comfrey but the plants are big. I can dig them up and see if they'll transplant well for you. They are hardy plants for sure. The first one I received from Dawn years ago, was put down--still in it's pot--in it's current location and forgotten about really. Its roots grew through the holes in the bottom of the pot. The following year I cut the pot away from it and it is doing great. Has made babies.

    I am happy to share honeysuckle too, but I don't see any runners. I can try to propagate it. I pulled a piece off to try for Kim. I can do another one for you too.

    Kim, how many Amish Paste do you want?

    I have

    11 Amish Paste

    9 Jet Setters

    1 Black Cherry

    1 Snow White Cherry


    And 2 tomatillos.

  • 5 years ago

    Jennifer
    I would like 2 Amish
    1 jet setter
    Please

    I have super paste but not sure how they will do and I really want to can this year

  • 5 years ago

    I'm sorry, Kim and Jen--I forgot pineapple sage is a latecomer. I don't see hide nor hair of it yet. And now remember that it comes up much later than most of the stuff. And Lisa!

    I would love some Frog Fruit, if you find you have a bit extra!

  • 5 years ago

    Soapwort anyone? Or feverfew?

  • 5 years ago

    Yeah, would love some soapwort!

  • 5 years ago

    Here's what I have folks down for and what I still have up for grabs. There are some additions to this list.


    Bruce

    Parsley


    Kim

    Mineral tubs (5) - I'll meet you at Moni's over the weekend so it's fewer to transport to SF.


    Rebecca

    Mineral tubs (5)


    HJ

    Trail of Tears black bean seeds

    BRINGING

    Patio Palm - I have a patio palm that does wonderfully on my east-facing patio in the growing season but struggles when brought in for the winter. It must need to go to a better houseplant parent. I'll only drag it along if someone wants it.


    California Wonder Bell (2)

    Big Bertha Bell (3)

    Campfire plant starts (3)

    Trail of Tears black bean seeds

  • 5 years ago
    last modified: 5 years ago

    I dug up my huge clump of comfrey. I put a part in a plastic bag from potting soil, and promptly forgot about it till two days ago.


    They still look viable. I separated and potted 6.

    I have a lot of basil too. Sweet basil... guess I should look at the packet?

    its Burpee Genovese I really have a WHOLE lot of them!


    Jen I would love some raspberry plants, if there are plenty.


    Megan, I would love a sungold Tomato if there is still one up for grabs.

    Megan I sowed oregano. I want quite a bit myself... to put in my extra parking space... :) But, let me know. I can bring you some, but they are TINY.

    I also have one Borage, that I will bring if the one in the ground survives.


    What are LB petunias? Thanks Sharon, Laura Bush! I would love to have one, if there is one left.

    post purple and yellow iris pictures

    Sharon, I'll put you down for Iris. :)

    yellow big and bright

    and purple to go too


    I need to look at my seedlings in the morning, in daylight... and see about editing.


    I have 6 more Marigolds to go, its from Burpee, climax mixed colors, 30-36 inches in height. Just a packet that was given to me. Should have read the height... it's a bit tall, was thinking of the short ones. LOL

    One cucumber plant, MI gardener, Beit Alpha cucumber

    Tomato, one MI gardener Chocolate Stripe, one baker creek black vernissage, two MI gardeners crimson sprinter
    Moni

  • 5 years ago

    Moni...iris look great! LB petunias are "Laura Bush"... they're amazing in the heat AND the cold, and will often survive from one year to the next. One plant can fill a space a foot square, at least...often double or triple that. They're prolific bloomers, too.

    Nancy...heuchera and evening primrose sound great - thank you.

    Under 2 weeks!


  • 5 years ago

    Moni, if Megan doesn’t have Sungold, I’m pretty sure I’ll have extras.

    I wouldn’t mind a yellow iris, if you have enough!

  • 5 years ago
    last modified: 5 years ago

    Moni, I think I have 1 Sungold left. I actually have 2 labeled sungold but I'm fairly certain one was mislabeled so I'll bring you the one that I'm confident is actually sungold. I'm covered on oregano. I think I'm getting two! :)

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks guys for the sungold...

    Bruce have you down for a yellow iris or two. :)

    Moni

  • 5 years ago

    I think my Iris might be pale

  • 5 years ago

    I’ll collect a few iris

  • 5 years ago

    I plan on bringing extras. My sister gifted me bunches

  • 5 years ago

    Any interest in a partly mystery plant? I think it's cutleaf coneflower. Planted 3 years ago, last year was the first year it bloomed. Plant got taller tham me & covered in small yellow flowers.



  • 5 years ago

    Bruce I have you for Craig’s grande jalapeño

  • 5 years ago

    The toothache plant & boneset look pretty sad so I may not be able to bring them. But if I do I'll put your name on them.


    Lisa:

    *Toothache plant

    *boneset


    HJ:

    *boneset

    Soapwort

    Feverfew


    Nancy:

    *boneset

    Cajun belle pepper

    Hungarian cheese pepper

    Chili pie pepper


    Kim:

    Moni:

    Raspberry



    Bringing:

    Basil: cinnamon, lemon, lime, newton, purple

    Chives if anyone interested

    Cutleaf coneflower

    Soapwort (1 or 2 more)

    Feverfew (1 or 2 more)

    Tomatoes & peppers (see list above)


    These are really tiny seedlings that I can pot up if anyone is interested.

    Mint: strawberry, mojito

    Lavender: lady, munstead

    Columbine

    milkweed



    Also bringing the seed hoard, if you're looking for anything specific let me know & I'll pull them out.


  • 5 years ago

    Thx Jen--soapwort will be good. Thx!

  • 5 years ago

    Moni - the plant that I had mentally marked as sungold is egg yolk in real life. I still have one that is labeled sungold that I suspect is actually bendigo moon. I think you’d enjoy either but if you want to know for sure what you’re growing you might want to get a plant from Bruce.


    Jen - I’ll take some lemon basil, mojito mint and milkweed.

  • 5 years ago

    Thanks Megan and Bruce... I will take one from Bruce I guess. :)


  • 5 years ago

    Jen, I'll take mint (whatever kinds you have), lavender, and milkweed too.


    I think I have LB petunia seedlings. I moved the pots with them into the greenhouse tonight for the big freeze.

    I'll pot up a few and bring them. If I am wrong, don't kill me. LOL

    I'm pretty sure they are LBP.


  • 5 years ago

    I have a few more wants/needs if they are still available.


    Megan, can I have a Lemon Boy?

    Bruce, can I have a Supersonic, a Juliet, and an Arkansas Traveler?


    I'll be back tomorrow with my list of things for people just to make sure I remembered everything.



  • 5 years ago

    Jennifer, I added them to my list.

  • 5 years ago
    last modified: 5 years ago

    Sorry I put my plants in the wrong section: but here is what I will be brining: 5 extra peppers (2 cayenne and 3 bells (Corona or Super Shepherd). I did have lots of tomatoes too but the 'frost' killed all mine that were planted - even though we covered them up!!! :(

    I saw Nancy has me down for some comfrey - thank you! If there will be some left-over tomatoes I wouldn't mind a few extras.

  • 5 years ago

    Hi Regina--will you put my name on one of the cayennes, please? Thank you!

  • 5 years ago

    sure thing Nancy.

  • 5 years ago

    Scrolled through & noticed I haven't really requested anything. Guess I'll be doing a lot of shopping tomorrow lol.


    Nancy, if you have one more comfrey I'd be appreciative.


    HJ, got one more LB petunia?


    Megan, if that bendigo moon/sungold mystery tomato isn't claimed, I'd like . I love sungolds, but I'm also interested in trying dwarfs so either way I'll like it.

  • 5 years ago

    Hi Everyone. Got eggs boiling for deviled eggs and am about to organize plants too.


    Regina, I have extra Jet Setters and Amish Paste and one Roma if you're interested in any of those.


    Jen, I am about to dig up several of those tiny seedlings that I think are LB petunias. I'll bring several, but will put your name on one.


    Here's what I have down. I tried to put notes on my phone, but may have missed something.


    Nancy--Jet Setter and cardinal climber

    Rebecca -- cardinal climber

    Amy--LB petunia

    Lisa--cardinal climber

    Kim--2 Amish Paste and 1 Jet Setter

    Jen--LB petunia


    Kim, I took a piece of the coral honeysuckle and put it in a jar of water a week or two ago, but it didn't make roots. I recently read that a LARGE 3 ft. piece of plant needs to be put in water. The piece I took was much smaller. Do you want me to bring (in water) a 3 ft piece to try?


    Okay, let me know what I've forgotten.

  • 5 years ago




    First pic: Jet Setter

    second: Amish Paste

    third: cherry tomatoes (sun gold, black cherry and snow white)


    they are large healthy plants with strong stems.

    these are all extra if anyone wants them, otherwise ill

    dig a hole in the field and plant them there. lol.

  • 5 years ago

    Regina, I feel pretty safe in saying there will be plenty of tomatoes to choose from. Everyone seems to grow gobs more than they have room, and all the extras get swapped around. And I'll be bringing mine; they're not very big like everyone else's but they should take off once they get in the ground.

  • 5 years ago

    We want them all Jennifer

  • 5 years ago

    Hahaha, Kim! Funny stuff. I'll bring ya a dwarf., Jen, and will run out and grab another little clump of comfrey in the morning. It's raining cats and dogs, but at my place, it doesn't really get all that muddy so shouldn't be a problem. I WISH I had a field to put all the extras in, Jennifer!

    See you all tomorrow, God willing and the creek don't rise.

  • 5 years ago

    HJ - my lemon boys didn’t make it. They dried out on one of our windy days. Houzz wouldnt let me go back and edit. sorry.
