WANTED: Ricky's Swap-a-Que Invitations

16 years ago

Sunday - May 20th - starting at 9am!

For the veterans: Click here! In the body of the e-mail please put your Garden Web handle. If you are bringing folks with you, add them as well. And if you are bringing food (and don't want it to be a surprise) please list it there.

If you've never been here before:

Our garden is in a gated community with a manned guardhouse. What you'll get in a reply to your e-mail (the link below) is an invitation that will get you past security and a set of explicit directions so you don't get lost.

I will be cooking around 25 pounds of Boston Butt to make pulled pork. We'll also have a couple of cases of bottled water. I have an 8'x8' Ez-Up to provide shade in the driveway and there is lots of lawn space on our neighbor's yard available to us.

In the past, we started at 10am. I'm going to bring on the throngs an hour earlier since the day just seems to go by too quickly. You can start swapping plants whenever you are ready. We'll eat lunch at noon and I give tours of the garden all day long. However, feel free to explore on your own!

If you are Croton collector, I have over 300 varieties in the ground and will be more than happy to cut you a piece of many of them just before you leave. Please bring your own ziploc baggies to take them home.

If you have no plants to trade, fear not! You will not go home empty handed. As a matter of fact, not only will I insist that you take something, most of the other swappers will be shoveling plants into your car when you are not looking as we get close to the end of the day.

Additional questions? Post 'em here. Otherwise: Click here! In the body of the e-mail please put your Garden Web handle. If you are bringing folks with you, add them as well. And if you are bringing food (and don't want it to be a surprise) please list it there.

Katkin, I have enough tilandsia for you :-) I don't care what type of dragon fruit it is....right now I am into edibles and the dragon fruits is such a weird one...it will be a surprise :-) Actually the first time I had a dragon fruit was at a swap....the first time I had a mulberry was a few days ago from a plant I got at a swap...I learn so much and try so many different things because of gardenweb:-) Veronika, thank you so much....I looked up the the dragon fruit and itlooks cool I can't wait to get it:-) And my hubby has been wanting a lobster claw for awhile now. We bought some seeds once....the birds thanked us for lunch :-)

Hey everyone, I will not be able to come to the swap this weekend. I just got back from the vet and my doggie is not doing so well...apparently her spine is degenerating....anyway I can't leave her alone all day. For anyone that I was trading with I'm very sorry but hopefully I will make it to the next swap. If anyone is in the Miami area or passing through and would like to pick up their plants I am available and we can make a bar-b-que out of it.

Hi Ricky, You can count us in. Don't want to pass this next swap-a-que up. Can't commit right now, but wanted to let you know that we are hoping to make it down and over to Boca. I think with Fay's persistance and drama, it might be awhile before folks get back to you in regards to your swap-a-thon. Hopefully, there are others in this area that are interested in a carpool down your way with lots of room to spare to carry down plants and carry up plants. Hope Fay doesn't screw up an event worth checking out. Sue.

Who wants a plumeria? It's falling over and rather than replant it (I have 2 others same red-wine pinwheel flower)I want to plant another color in this spot.

it's about 3 feet with two scrawny branches that could be trimmed.

Hey Cliff. All the other plants got hauled off with the yard clippings this morning. I was able to go find some seeds on my remaining bush for you though. They should grow really fast for you. I had to make room by clearing out the extra ones I had for Tony's raspberry he is bringing me. I am putting it over by my grape arbor so it gets watered and watched better than the last one he gave me. See you at the swap, my friend!
