and the 2023 threads therein.

I plan to be there. It's a favorite. I started things from seed early this year so hopefully some will continue on and I can bring them to the swap. Many of the things I've gotten in years past are doing great for me!

On my calendar and looking forward to it, pending knee schedule in my household (not mine). Seems like May is the month for knees.

I put it in my calendar! already potted some things up to bring!

Also wanna thank whoever brought tulip bulbs to the fall swap- they have been such a delight

Yay.... John is Back.! Count me in.

I have

1. luffa sponges and Luffa squash seeds

2. Pumpkin seeds

3. Hot chili seeds

4. Beautiful red stem and leaves Ricinus communis L., Castor bean seeds . I grew them for deterring voles/moles. They 6 ft tall

Not sure if it worked but was a showy plant.

5. Raspberry plant cuttings root fast

6. black berry plant cuttings... root real fast..

7. Jewels of opar, aka Suriname spinach

8. Choclate vine is aggresive

Will add more as I find more.

wish List

Not looking for much this year. However, always looking for something edible, fragrant (Madagascar Jasmine comes to mind..:-))). Oh and if anyone is thinking of thinning the daylilies, Irises, please add me on the list of recipients.

Sabji, i do hope to get some castor bean seeds!

so far i’ve set aside bonfire peach seedlings, a cactus, weigelia ”pink princess”, and a butterfly bush for this swap.

wishlist: dahlia roots (any variety!)

Love to swap Bonfire peach seedlings and butterfly bush for castor bean seeds. I am starting them too. If the seedlings are big enough, will bring them for you. Can give you some devils trumpet seeds aka Datura seeds too

Sounds great!

Aster – unknown purple

Aster ‘Ezo Murasaki’

Hi Val, Love the hibiscus. The major wheeler was removed to replace the Deck. I still have the stump and it seems to be greening up. I am sure I will be able to give stems in next fall or spring. I can swap with the Castor bean and Chili pepper seeds. I am attending a local garden event tomorrow, Will watch out for Major wheeler for you.

which colors are the Hibiscus?

Sabji, this is the hibiscus you brought to a swap as branches. It's a double-flowered purplish/pink color and is a hardy shrub.

Screenwriter, I have tiarella. Any chance of some white cristata?

Brenda, I'm sorry, but a gardener just told me I don't have crestata iris, but another. The leaves are only 4" high, and it has a spike with a number of flowers. It runs a lot, but easy to pull. I have yellow bearded iris with a white fall, if you want a bearded iris.

No problem, Val, I will try your short iris - sounds interesting

Val, I would love some ajuga if it's available. I don't have VA bluebells, but I have Spanish bluebells. They have just finished blooming and it seems the foliage dies back about a month after that, but I can dig and bring some of the little bulbs they grow from. I moved some of it by planting the bulbs to different spots in the garden last year and they came up really well for me. Pictured below from when they bloomed - the purplish blue flowers. Another choice would be your Canna Bengal Tiger. Cannas have done well for me here. Always happy with what people share. I have lots of seedlings from things I planted about 5 weeks ago - likely some tomatoes and peppers and we'll see what else continues to grow from now to then.

Brenda, I have a note you were going to bring me a Blood root and rue anemone this spring.

Brenda, for a special trade for those above, I have daylily 'My Sleeping Angel,' Pulmonaria, and phlox diverticulata 'Blue Moon.'

Sandlapper, I would love the Spanish bluebells. I do have ajuga and 'Bengal Tiger' for you.

Hi Val, This is so amazing, that you have my rose of Sharon. I lost the huge plant when the winds toppled it over. it was lanky. I would love to grow it again if the scarlet castor bean and the chili pepper seeds work for you.

Sabji, they are perfect.

screenwriter, no problem you got it

I don‘t have a list, but i have only special items potted up, so looking for what everyone is looking for

Val, I’m also interested in your short white not cristata iris that runs. I started seed from Arisaema sikokianum over the winter and have a small pot of seedlings that’s not already spoken for that I can bring you.

Karen, I would love to have the Arisaema sikokianum seedlings.

I just potted up two small Yucca 'Color Guard' plants.

I moved a Vitex 'Bailtextwo' and found seedlings in the path.
