Susan, You have the plants requested. I also have from you want list: Ornamental grasses - Maiden grass, variegated grass(I think miscanthus sinensis variegatus), Zebra grass, and Fountain grass. LMK if you want these.
Tony

Susan, I'd like a Canna Bengal tiger on your list. I have a sedum and probably a little hakone grass I could bring you.

Tony, I have all three of the grassed you listed. Thanks anyway. Is there anything else I can bring for you?
Susan

Susan, I saw where you were interested in dark leaf canna with red flowers. I have dark leaf one with red flower that gets about 6' +. If interested, LMK. Tony

Does anyone have the native Crab apple and the pink flowering one with dark leaves. Al. Power cut mine when they cut my moso bamboo. If you have them and want to trade, check my posts and my trade page. Tony

I had posted that I planned to bring oriental eggplant transplants. I will stil be bringing a few, but germination was very poor on 3 of the 4 varieties I planted. Sunday I will plant seeds of some exotic winter squash and melons, for those who may be interested in that. Thiose should be ready just in time for the swap.

Kenneth-I would love to have a couple of your eggplant transplants. Please let me know what you would like. I have added more plants to my list.

Please encourage members of your gardening association to attend. I will bring extra plants.

Nelson, Daffodillady (Beth), Alice, Moonfire - I hope you
are planning to attend the swap. Invite your friends and neighbors as well.

Don't forget to sign up to bring food for our potluck luncheon.

Thanks,
Susan

Susan, I would like the Pavonia hastate if you still have it, bunny ears cuttings, euphorbia milli cuttings and teucrium chaemadrys-germander. Tony

Susan, Alice and I do plan to come, and Sunita tells me she does plan to be back.

Today I have been repotting winter squash seedlings, they germinated nicely, as has cantaloupe "Noir Des Carmes". I also have just replanted seeds of eggplants.

I just updated my trade list. As I previously mentioned, some of my planned veggie transpplants have not worked out, others may still work out but be very small. I have added some ornamentals.. I plan another update about April 30.

Hey everyone, well due to some unforseen problems the GA group's swap has all but been cancelled. They may try to relocate to another home but for some reason this year not many folks were responding to the call so turnout was going to be scant. On top of that my friend who wanted to go to the GA swap backed out as well so I am freed up to come to Birmingham. If it's not too late to get in on the swapping action, here is my list of HAVES/WANTS:

HAVES (most of my haves are young rooted cuttings, not large mature plants):

Especially looking for 'Caribbean Whipped Cream' to replace one that died.
Water Lilies
Those large purple hydrangeas people have been growing in the South for years. I know localized pH affects color but these don't look like my Nikkos when I see them in people's yards.
A truly red Crape Myrtle -- not hot pink/magenta. I've seen them in yards, just can't find them in stores.

Rebar of any length and thickness
Round brooder style lights, sometimes they have a clamp

Danielle,
I'm sorry your swap got cancelled but glad that we will be seeing you again. I have emailed you for a trade.
Susan

Between the MG plant sale, scrambling to clear storm debris and salvage what plants I can, plus various church and civic responsibilities, I haven't gotten my list updated or much potted up. I will be at the swap, though, mostly to see everyone and visit. I finally did some checking today and can bring at least some:
dicliptera humming bird plant
alstromeria Peruvian lily
hot lips salvia
Amsonia blue star
ribbon grass (strawberries and cream?)

If there's something you want from my old list, which I haven't updated yet, let me know. I may be able to bring it.

Look for emails From me today everyone

I m looking for old blinds to use as plant labels. I will be happy to bring you a plant for one. Please let me know.

There's a 40% chance of rain on Saturday. This means that there is a 60% chance that it won't rain! Let's hope for the best!

Susan

Thanks,

Nelson

Nelson, The Red Hot Poker is yours. I am getting more than enough from you. If you see anything else you want, let me know, Thanks, Tony

Hey guys,

my Mom dug up some 'Miss Jessie' daylilies from her garden to bring. They are beautiful, tall and multiply like crazy. We'll have them for open swap at the park or if anyone in particular would like some just let me know and I'll set some aside for you.

Also, my dad is asking for green liriope to replace some that animals dug up. If anyone has extra they can bring he'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Susan, Don't worry about the rain. I will bring the soap and someone else can bring the I found one small Hot Trumpets Salvia (qt. size). Do you want it? I want some of your Sedum mediovariegata. Also, I will have several dark leaf sedum for fall trade. Go over my sedum list and let me know which ones you want me to root for you. Tony

Tony, I will bring you the crinum and mediovariegata sedum. I would like an Elsie's gold sedum, if you have one now or in the fall. I will email you later about rooting sedums for the fall. I'm at work and don't want to be seen googling sedums here!
So let's have the swap at the usual time-around 10 am.
Susan

10 sounds good to me. I already have you an Elysie's Gold in the car. My rat mobile is packed to the top, all ready to go.

I can bring a few Hostas, also bagged up some mosaic tiles I cut from plates, have scrap stained glass, making approximately 10 sea shell jars for trade, have lots of Morning glory seedlings, scarlet runner bean plants, and more.

Toni,, could I please get some zebra grass from you. I have wanted this for years!
