Spring swap - Interested in plants of these?

13 years ago

I just planted seeds of some exotic cucumbers and winter squash and have lots of seed left over. If anyone would like some transplants, I wil start some more seeds and bring transplants to the spring swap, otherwise I will advertise in the seed trading forum. I think these are all heirlooms.

Cucumbers:

Boothby's Blonde

Long Anglais

Japanese Long

Crystal Apple

White

Winter squash:

Potimarron

Jack Be Little

Honey Boat Delicata

Thelma Sanders

Table Queen

I want to either plant seeds or put them in the other forum by next Friday, so please let me knoe as soon as possible.

If you still have Dicliptera, that sounds great! Otherwise, I'm sure I'll find something! I'l start the seeds this afternoon, weather permitting.

Hi All, A few of you invited me to this swap and I am excited to meet some fellow gardners. By the time I found out about it I hadn't planned a lot of extra seedlings but I will definately have some of my extra veggie and herb starts. Maybe not a huge selection... but a start. I'm just looking forward to meeting some folks that know about gardening. Kim

Anyone interested in a spring swap at my house?
Q

I am glad to hear there is a developing interest in putting together a swap at my house. I figure we can wait until Febuary to set an exact date and still give everyone time to get the day off and make travel plans. I like the idea of a Saturday "Lunch Swap" so that we can swap, munch, and hang out before hurrying home with your goodies! Then have Sunday to settle your new babies in! Please, anyone who has been to a swap where they partically enjoyed something, let me know so I can work it into the plans. Do you like the idea of nametags? How about a prize for the one who travels the fartherest? Would it be alright if I supply an main dish and beverages and ask for a covered dish? Should we prearrange trades or just bring what you have and trade here? I am already looking forward to this! Send me or post your suggestions here and I will try to put together a swap that everyone will enjoy!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your support! Susan

Hi Everyone, I am trying to get names of anyone who is interested in attending my plant swap next spring. It will be in late June/early July. I live in the Fingerlakes region, near Seneca Lake between Watkins Glen and Dundee. I hosted a swap in 2003 and we had a wonderful time, so thought I would do it again. If you are interested please e-mail me and I will be glad to send you the exact date and all other info a little closer to the time. I am just trying to get an idea of how many might be attending. Feel free to "bring a friend" if they want me to send them the info, just include their e-mail as well. thanks, juspeachy
