Atlanta area GW plant trade - lets find a date.

16 years ago

Hey All,

it's time to think about the Atlanta area GW plant trade.

Lets find a date, and then post on the "exchanges" side after that.

As for location, we can have it at my place if you like.

I'm thinking that April would be great for me. What about you?

April 12th, 19th or 26th?

If you'd like it at another location, that is fine too. Or another month, that is fine. I can't do anything here in May.

Thanks!

GGG

This sounds lovely. Thank you for putting it forward. I'm new to the whole plant trade scene, so I'll just sit back and see how it works. Of course I hope to help (as in bring food and plants).

I just realized that April 26th is the Inman Park festival and that may not be a good day for me. I may need to work that.

Hey, squirrelly! I will go ahead pot up the guara and salvias for you. I would love to just bring them to you, and meet your garden helpers. Can i just come and see your daylilies when they are peaking. i would really love any of them, they are so beautiful, I do like the darker ones, too. The one plant you can dig up and divide when they are blooming, and they dont suffer. I also have been to a daylily farm in SC around Columbia, went crazy. I have some of mine on my fb page, you might want some. I did not see any red in your colllection, I do have a huge red one with a yellow throat. I'll still take the other plants if you stil have them ready. I have mexican petunia. Ruellia purple showers, we are going to dig them up and keep them in pots, i found out they can be invasive, so I hope I ge it all. My husband will be doing the digging for me, you might want some of it, they are great for the tall plant in big pots. Let me know, Lorinda

vnginger, I'm so sorry that I didn't get your email! I don't know what's going on with gardenweb lately. No emails get through and they wiped out my trade list months ago, too. Since there are 2 of the terrariums, I could give Kathy one of them and give you the other, if that would be ok with her? Or else I'll look and see if I have something similar at the house to bring for you. I won't have internet access tonight or tomorrow, though, so I'll have to assume it will work out for the best. I know she also wanted hummingbird feeders and I'll be bringing some of those for her. I'm also going to bring some regular hummingbird feeders for the general trade - I've decided to give up on feeders for hummingbirds, as I can't seem to attract them. So I'm getting rid of not only the fancy glass ones I bought at Pike's and posted photos of, but also the regular ones with the red plastic feeder ports. I have 2 of those to bring, one of which I think is sort of nice, except that it needs a new plastic bottle (any sort of shampoo or soap bottle can work). And I found a few other things to bring, including a very large, very sturdy macrame plant hanger. This thing was made by someone probably in the 60's, it is a dark orange color with some large beads incorporated in the macrame. It looks like it can hold a very large and heavy plant, for someone who's into things from that era. Also I dug up a piece of a miniature hosta that I don't know the name of, but it's a pretty golden yellow color, and a small division of arum italicum, and found a couple of pots of creeping raspberry (groundcover). Also potted a volunteer coneflower (probably pink) and volunteer blackeyed susans, and a yellow variegated vinca. These things will all have to go into the general trade since I won't have email tonight or tomorrow. Debbie

Uli, Thanks for offering to host. I think there was just not enough time for everyone to pull it together. I just covered most of my perennials since I hope to propagate or dig some of them. I may have a fern or two for you and would love to have a Heucheras or Helleborus. Hopefully this is just a temporary cold spell. If you want to meet please let me know. Thanks. -Linda

Hi you guys... I'm realbusy on GW. (Gina from NJ)....Good to see some of your old names here and I've even traded with many of you... I've lost the addresses of many a gardening friend over the years now and I'm not happy about that. But oh well, what can you do? Hope everyone will come back on here...I know I was in a round robin exchange but I can't remember who the admin was *sigh*.....maybe ishareflowers ? Anyway, maybe when I have time I will go back over the old e-mails from over a year ago now I guess... Trade on!!! I've posted my new list under my profile.. I have no idea if that is where it is supposed to go but that's where I put it...LOL... gotta figure how to navigate this new site.....

Oh yay! I was itching for this thread to be started but didn't know if I'd be jumping the gun lol. I'm in for probably any date ya'll pick.

I would think mid-April to the first week of May would be good. Any earlier might be pushing it a little for some plants, especially if we wind up with another late freeze like last year, but hopefully that won't happen.

Glynis,
Thanks for starting this thread... Didn't know if we were going to have one with the drought!

Hope we don't schedule the 5th or 12th (Spring Break.) So I guess that leaves the 19th for me.

I am looking forward to it.
Thanks.

Anything but the first week in June, for me.

I'm looking forward to it. :)

May 10th is the only day in May that could work for me to have the trade here that month. The first Sat. of each month is our plant sale at Holy Comforter and I won't let anything stand in the way of that, lol!

I am not sure my wife will allow me to find a date for the trade but, I will ask anyway. I hope she doesn't hit me. April, May, June are all good for me.

Ha Vroomp! you're funny. I think pretty much any date works for me. I'm going to give birth any day now (supposed to be a girl this time!), so I may have the little one in a papoose or something. So, my trading will be on the light side.

Pam, I'm sure it won't be difficult for you to find a spare arm for the little one so that you can trade "heavier", lol.

Best wishes for a happy baby!

Just saw that April 26 is the 11th Annual Old Timey Seed Swap at Agrarian Connections Farm in Oglethorpe County. I don't want to miss that.

April 12th is the Spring Garden Expo at Chicopee Woods Agricultural Center (Hall County). I've taken the day off of work to go on the 11th, but wanted to bring it up in case some others might have plans to go to this on the 12th but didn't remember.

Hmm, it's looking like April 19 or May 3 are the only dates that haven't been objected to so far. I'm still good with either.

It'll have to be April 19th then, if it is at my house. May 3rd is out for here because it is the 3rd Holy Comforter plant sale date, and I need to be there!!

I'm down for that thing. I can dig up any number of plants from my garden.

What we should do now is come up with WANT IT, HAVE IT, GOT SEEDS, and make a list.

Off the top of my head I have some awesome anisse hyssop, avocado tree seedlings, cilantro plants, many mint plants, oregano, echinacea and chamomile.

These are the plants that are growing well now( most outside) and that I can dig up or bring potted samples of.

Perhaps I have the time if a stone date is set so I can plan in advance... Post more exact details closer to time and maybe there will be a swell turnout!

Herboil, if you go over on the exchange page the plant trade thread is being continued there and that's where you can post your want/have list. Usually once someone posts a list the others start piling in too! I gotta' go clean up all my beds and see what's growing so I can update mine.
