WANTED: Anyone getting a 'spring fever' for trading?

16 years ago

I am sitting here wondering if anyone else is getting spring fever to do a spring trade. I am putting a list of leaves and plantlets together to trade. Anyone else care to join me, if you are just send me a email with what you have and how many you would like to trade. I am thinking because of the high cost of postage we could do about 25 leaves in a trade, or if anyone is interested we could do a double up (50 leaves) trade as well. I would love to find someone who would like to trade verigated varieties for verigated as well. I have about 50 varieties of verigated plants. THINK SPRING...

Are you talking about a round-robin kind of trade, or just a trade between yourself and another person? :3
If it's round robin, I'm in.

Yes, I was talking about a round robin kind of trade..but it would depend upon how many would like to do it. I have been in exchanges before and its always fun and a inexpensive way to add to our collections.

Danielle, I'm so glad you want the Gold Lace Juniper and I've already got it potted up for you! It's pretty large (I didn't prune it before potting), but it's in a nice, 3-gallon-ish fiberglass/plastic(?) pot I had laying around so it's not heavy. I would love the Navajo Salvia and the trailing Veronica sounds great too. Thanks!

Hi! Tim, I think we traded hostas last year. I see sme on your list that we do not have, and also some on your wish list. We have had a strange winter, so we need to see what will be available when they come up. If you think you might like to trade again let us know. We do not have the info from last year down here with us, but we will be home later in March. Let us hear if you are interested in trading again. Betty

Interested in a spring trade. I lost a lot of plants due to a series of power outages in December. But should have enough survivors to do a fairly large trade. Prefer one-on-one to round robin. Working on updating my list. Have some variegated.

We will do our SPRING FLING TRADE the end of April (or the very beginning of May) weather permitting. I am keeping a folder of anyone who would like to join in on our round robin trade. You can send me a list of your trades, and be sure to mark ~if it is a leaf, starter, verigated, semi, mini, trailer, or standard. This is a great way for everyone to increase there collections, and have fun doing it, all for the cost of postage! If you want to do more then one trade (limit 2) let me know. Hoping more sign up.

I'd love to participate. I have only 19 named varieties, but figure this will be a great way to increase my collection. Could you explain exactly how the round robin works? Emailing my list to you...
