Nice to have met you in person, Helen.

I would like to get a banyan tree cutting or other source that I could use to start a tree for bonsai. Let me know if you have anything that can help me get this tree started. Thank you. Dave

Looking for Passiflora seeds
Q
Comments (0)
Hey Everyone, I am looking for any passiflora seeds besides edulis and incarnata. I currently have the following fresh seeds: king palm seeds, red currant seeds, musa acuminata banana seeds, and pink nerium oleander. I also have a lot of passiflora edulis seeds that I would trade for just a few seeds of another type. Please let me know if you have any. Thank you, Dave

hybrid willow

Yeah leyland cypress don't like wet feet one bit. You could plant hybrid willow which..... eeh not such a remarkable plant or possibly someone will have some other more unique and desirable planting ideas for you. And yes you can root them with cuttings from a branch, reportedly you need only stick them in the ground. I haven't tried it myself.

Edwin Thanks for all your help. Winter in Denmark is really hard for me. Everything is so dark... And that's the reason I'm choosing plants that will give me some color when everything looks dead. Can you see a big apple tree in the corner of one of my pictures? That tree will be put it down and because I have a good view to that corner from my living room I'll love to have a splash of color there. I like P. orientalis 'Skylands' very much but a gold Pinus could also look great. Your suggestions (beautiful) looks like the gold foliage is spring growth to me. Is that right?? I just saw a Pinus cembra (aureovariegata??) at my local nursery that is showing a dull gold foliage but I'll like to have some more glowing :-) And definitely I need to buy a tree already with a good size for that spot! Any suggestion? I'm trying to post a picture I took from the tree in the terrace but photobucket is not working well for me today, but I think you are right (again) !!! :-) Agnes

Yes, absolutely THANK YOU DAVE!!! I came back with some nice stuff too. It was fun seeing familiar faces and the new ones as well. I took many photos and will hopefully be able to post them within the next couple of days. Now I have to figure out what to do with all my new plants :)

Thanks to Dave for posting this swap to the Minnesota FishKeepers Forum as well. I wouldn't have ever heard about it otherwise. It was a fun event and I'm really pleased with the stuff I got. What a great way to spend part of a sunny Saturday in June.

As I'm typing this I'm finishing the last piece of Dottie's rhubard pie. mmmm.

Thanks to everyone for putting up with my "work in progress". It was nice to meet some new people and see some old friends! Time sure flew by...didn't have enough time to talk to everyone.

Who's going to volunteer for the fall swap?

I thought Sandy was going to do the Fall Swap.

I'd do the Winter Blues Seed Swap again if everyone doesn't mind driving to Apple Valley again.

OOPS! I posted in the other forum. Here is again:

Thank you Dave for hosting the swap. I had a great time visiting with your family, especially your mom. Glad that she could come too. Thanks everyone for bring your favorite plants. I really enjoy getting new plants and finding out more about them. The swaps were great experiences for me to learn about plants and to meet people. Nice to see all of you again! Happy gardening!

Dave - A big thanks to you for hosting. Your work in progress is great! If I only had half the space you have.

It was great seeing those I haven't seen in a while and meeting many new gardening friends. Thanks to everyone for making it such a great swap!

I did volunteer, way back when, to host this falls swap. I'm in Champlin (northwest suburb of Mpls) just off hwy 169 and 109th, so pretty easy to get to. We can discuss a bit later in summer.

Thanks again for such a great Saturday afternoon. Now to finish getting those new treasures in the garden.

Yes, Thanks Dave!!!
It was so nice to know that I'm not the only one who gets lost trying to find your place as well <:>It was great to meet new people. I'm still trying to get my plants in the ground and I hope I can participate in the fall swap as well.

Thanks!!!

For those of you who purchased a button at the swap thanks for helping Zoey complete one of the requirements for the ambassador program.

If you happen to go to a parade over the next year there's a good chance you'll be able to see her as we now have royalty in our house! Last night she was crowned Jr Miss St Francis.
