I missed the replies because I am not so good at checking that email as I get lots of mail there. I changed it, so I will be more likely to get updates. I appreciate the replies, even though I am late reading them! I believe I have a Brunswick Fig. I dug up 2 suckers in August and I thought I let them die over the winter, but one is leafing out and I think the other one will, too. I would love a pomegranate. I have a friend in Murfreesboro who has one. I actually never got grapes off the wild vines, I use the leaves to stuff with a rice filing. I cut them way back this year. I would like a domestic grape variety. I always have less money to spend on my garden than I would like. I'm sure I'm not the only one with that problem!. I am growing more asparagus from seed. If they make it, I know it will be a few years before I will be eating from them, but i am growing enough Mary Washington plants that I should be able to share at some point. I would like very much to try my hand at growing paw paws. I read somewhere that they can be frozen whole and peeled and eaten "like ice cream" (with big seeds, I guess!) My pear tree is standard size, but I will only be getting dwarf trees from now on, I think. My 5 year old daughter wants a cherry tree. I saw some cool, but expensive 4 in 1 cherry trees. I am not sure how well they would do. I definitely want a peach tree and an apple tree at some point. I am in Nashville and don't have a good enough car to want to travel very far from home. I know there are some swaps around here, if i would pay enough attention. I need to always keep my calendar on me to take notes when I see things!

WANTED: H. Acetosella (edible burgundy hibiscus) seeds

I have H. sabdariffa, Double Purple datura and a single white fragrant datura seeds to trade. My H. acetosella seeds never came up, and I think they may have been bad seeds. I got them from a government program, and thought they looked rather small, but planted them anyway, with no success. I'm trying to turn my yard into a food forest, and this is one of the plants I want to make a hedge of sorts with. Please email me with offers. Thanks!

I have many of these shrubs and can give you lots of large cuttings which root very, very, easily. I'm in NW Hillsborough...I think you've been to the swaps that use to be at my house?? I haven't been active on the site here in years, just now getting back to it. Lori
