Can't wait for the swap....

15 years ago

how bout ya'll? I'm getting really excited about this swap. I've got a new area to plant. I had my son dig up a lot of big old overgrown, ratty things from the area, and I'm replanting it. It's in full sun, so I'm trying to put butterfly plants, nectar and host, there. I planted lots of seed, but we had torrential rains and that cold snap and I'm afraid I'm not going to get much germination from them. I've arranged some trades for more seed and some other sun loving plants too. If anyone has any coneflowers, rubeckia, or other plants butterflies like please go check my trade list and see if I have anything you'd like to trade for them. :)

Hi Jan, I do have some Asclepias tuberose (Butterfly Weed) seed that I could mail to you or bring to the swap @ Jemison on the 2nd. I put a lot of the seed out across the road from my house, when the cable company buried the cable, maybe some will flower this year. Let me know if you want some.

Jan,

I just wanted to post a reminder on things to bring to take your new babies home in. I snagged this from Sam's post on the exchange page: You will want to bring items such as papertowels to wrap cuttings in, a marker to mark your items, some name tape or something to mark what you're giving away (or have name tags stuck in each pot). Bring boxes to put your plants in to take home, paper bags, baggies, anything you can think of to make the transporting of your new babies easier on you and them. You will be amazed at the variety of the plants and other items that you will see at this swap. Bring......chairs to sit in Bring......Hats or umbrellas if you're sensitive to sitting out in the sun Bring......tables for your plants Bring......Bags, labels, pins, markers Bring......A bucket to put water in to transport more tender plants home Here is a link that might be useful: details here

Cindee, I am not really good at posting pictures yet. I hope this works. This is something I made for your swap. I don't know how you want to either give it away or what but it is yours to do whatever you want. The plants inside are called "Cryptanthus" or Pink Starlite.

idig: I would love the rudbeckia and cone flowers, but I think you have me mixed up with the other Jan (birdlady), I don't think you and I have arranged any trades. Take a look at my trade list and see what I have that you want. :)

tweetypie: If you want hummers, I'll bring you some blue anise sage (Salvia guaranitica) 3+', light blue flowers, full/part sun, hummingbirds love it! I was surprised that the blue color attracted them so much, but there's always a hummer(s) feeding on them when they're blooming. Email me if you want some.
