NEW: First Annual Spring Daylily Swap

16 years ago

Sign up now for the First annual Daylily Swap. If we have never traded please be prepared to provide references of former swaps. This will be for 5 daylilies. You will need to provide a list of daylilies you have to trade as well as a list of daylilies you would like. If you do not have a preference that is fine too.

I will be moving soon so I have to get rid of lots of daylilies and lots of other plants too. This is just a starting point. I only intend to move small clumps of my daylilies and I do not want to leave behind to many. This trade will be for named daylilies only at this time. If there are some of you that do not care about the names then by all means please feel free to join in and if there are several of you we can pair you off. Looking forward to a great colorful spring.

Welcome Jennifer and Carol,

Sorry I have not been around in a few days but have had some tragedies in the family so just have not felt much like getting online.

I am working on a questionnaire to be filled out by everyone. Also for those of you that I have never traded with and do not know please have your references ready when the questionnaire gets to you.

Looking forward to a great daylily swap.

Spring is just around the corner.

Just to let everyone know, the packages were all received by last friday. All bulbs are now swapped out, repackaged, and on their way back to you all as of today. There were 9 total participants, and a wonderful variety of interesting and healthy bulbs to swap! I think everyone got something that they wanted . . . Thank you to everyone on this forum who participated and hopefully you'll be back in the fall for the fall swap of spring-blooming bulbs (daffs, tulips, etc). I usually post the announcement sometime neat the end of August/beginning of September. I'd appreciate it if you could email me to let me know when you've received them back in the mail . . . and if there are any problems of course :) Thanks!

Laura, Thanks for the info on the sedum, I checked mine again this afternoon and still no signs of growth, but several remaining old stems seem to be snug in the ground so will wait and see if they come back this year. If you aren't sure of yours this year, don't try to divide any of them. You sure don't want to lose such a beautiful sedum. I posted a pic on the "name that plant" forum to see if anyone can identify it for us. Janice, So glad you are coming again. If you can get a pic of that unknown plant, you might want to post it on the name that plant forum and see if they can help identify it. I'd love a division of your autumn joy sedum, and if you have more than 1, Jean would love one too, (my elderly neighbor across the street that comes to the swap). It depends on what seeds you are thinking of starting as to whether it might be too late or not and if you are going to WS the outside now. We had some flooding as well, but nothing near as bad as other parts of town did, and my WS seedlings did just fine. I will have some tomato plants for the swap, just not sure which ones or how many I will have yet. Some seeds are still germinating but most of them are up and growing. Coffee cake sounds wonderful for the swap. Perfect for morning with some coffee that will be there. Fran

Marlene, we missed you last year, hopefully we will see you this year. I do remember the talk about that plant and how you did get it. Glad to hear it is doing so well for you now. Leira, doing a good job with "the, one not so little now." Sounds like she will turn into a real little gardener and she needs her own special plant just for herself to water. Got it for you too, maybe even 2 little tiny plants for her to call her own. start her off now, save the seeds from them every year and she will have those plants for years to come. So you got to come and bring her along with you. wispfox, looking forward to seeing you again this year, did you every have that vine you thought might be a morning glory bloom and get it identified? s_angel0, so glad to see you posting to the thread and plan on coming to the swap this year. I had hoped to hear from you and see you at the swap. Don't worry about not having plants, we will fill you up to start off with, just bring along some goodies for us will be fine. In return, you get the plants and seedlings to take home with you. suzieque, Welcome and no, you are not to new to attend. No one is ever too new to attend, that's how you really learn about gardening. Talking to other gardeners and hearing what has and hasn't worked for someone else is the best learning experience. Nurseries can tell you some things, but they are working from the perfect environment to grow things. Gardeners, on the other hand, are doing things from experience in a "real garden" not perfection in growing environments. We live the real thing. Besides, you are an experienced gardeners dream come true, a novice that we can get hooked on "our love of gardening" and do it with fun, swap plants, give away seedlings and do it with good company from each other, good food and just plain relaxation and fun. Just come on and join us, we will load up your car with all kinds of good stuff for the garden, just be prepared to do lots of digging in your gardens. wish I could help you out, wisfox, but I don't have any of those plants. If any has some, would love a couple of divisions of Gaillardia Arizona Sun. Fran

SCPearson/Susan, You are more than welcome to join us at the swap. It is a lot of fun, a wonderful way to add to the plants you already have or are looking for, a great way to meet gardeners and have some "goodies" and lots of fun talk. wispfox/Suzanne You would have to dig up your main plants and divide the main plant into smaller plants, then pot up the smaller plants for the swap, and keep most of the main plant for yourself, (unless you didn't want to keep any for yourself.) Once you have divide up your main plant into the smaller pieces to bring to the swap, carefully replant your main plant and give it plenty of water and tender loving care. Take the small divisions that you made from the main plant, and pot those up in some soil in containers with good drainage. Keep those divisions well watered and in a sheltered, partly shaded area till the swap. hotzenplotz Welcome to you as well. Trust me when I say, you will have a car full of plant divisions and seedlings to start you on your way to beautiful gardens. And lots of us, including myself grow our own veggies, so you should be finding some veggies as well. And of course goodies are always welcome. fgirl21 Phlox taken if you don't want it. any idea what the color is? Heidi will be very happy to take it for her rock garden area. Lisa Still laughing over those "last famous words". You aren't going to take anything home this year? LOL, you must have forgotten all about those seeds you asked me to sow for you, while you sowed some for me. OK, I'll give you this. You aren't counting those that you where already planning on taking. It's all the others you aren't going to take home? Right? Yup, everyone just ignore Lisa and what she says about how much she will take home. It never works out that way and she knows it and we love you anyways, even though you keep trying and trying and trying and trying. You always find something that you weren't expecting and take it home. Just remember. wherever there is dirt, you can dig a hole and plant something in it. Fran

Hello Ladies,

Sorry I have not been around but its been a mess here, I will have the spread sheet ready to put your lists in by next week so please feel free to start sending me your haves and wants. Please send as complete a list as you can of your haves. Split it up as to haves and have to trade. That way maybe you will not get something that you already have. You have until April 5th to send me your Haves and wants. You can add to your want list up until April 15th. On or about April 16th I will partner everyone up and you will have until May 10th to ship to your partner. Will that work for everyone? I will list below those that I have for this trade. I will leave it open for others to join until April 5th. I will write more in a day or so, check back then.

Hello ladies,

Anita,

These dates where just what came to mind. We can change them. I know you have been getting hit really hard up there. I am in the DEEP SOUTH so I will have daylilies blooming in the next month. I am still working on my lists. You give me some dates you think will work for you and we will go with them.

Melinda,

I can go to your GW page and get your lists. Not a problem at all.

Jenn,

That will be fine.

As stated the dates where what came to mind. If you are running late calm down. No need to stress. Just let me know whats going on. Anita will be giving me some different dates and I will post the new and final dates when I here back from her. I will in the mean time continue to work on my have list. I keep a running want list...lol I will have some nice things coming and I always hope I get an extra fan on some along the way so I have some to share.

Mary,

Of course you may join, Not sure why everyone keeps saying "if I will still have you" makes no sense to me. I dont have a problem with any of you. My problem is with 2 people in the TD's. The rest are no problem to me. I dont think either one of those 2 will be asking to join anything I am a part of so lets move past this. I have tons of daylilies set aside to trade this year and since I am no longer part of the TD's I have no one to trade them with so I am doing this for now. I also have tons of other perennials to trade so I may do one of these for those as well.

Ok now, Anita, Mary and Carol, come up with some dates that will work for the 3 of you and we will go with those dates. The ones I came up with above where ones i just pulled out of the air, they did not mean anything. If you 3 ladies would get together and figure out those dates and either post the new dates here are email them to me that would be great.

For those of you that do not have your lists together yet please just work on it and ignore the dates above for now. i will set new dates for all when I hear back from the 3 ladies above.

Those of you that need to send me your former trade referances please do so ASAP.

Thanks

Oh, Man oh man, we are going back down, low 20's for the next week, I have been tossing any mulch I could get my hands on, on any of my 2006 additions that have tried to rush the weather. NY weather is sooooooo unpredictable. I would think in the next 2-3 weeks I will know exactly what I still have, I see I lost Lee Pickles, Luckily I got it from a wonderful seller through a Co-op & it will be replaced, I really wanted that one, I lost another but I cant remember the name right now.

Good evening ladies,

Ok I thought I would do this as I have had 2 of you email me as to what and when so look this over and let me know what this sounds like to all of you.

When to have your have list ready - May 10th
When to have your want list ready - April 22nd
When will I pick partners - May 15th
When will you ship to your partner - May 21st or May 22nd

Now as for how this swap will go. This is for a minimum of 5 daylilies. Yes if you want to send more than that to your partner or if you and your partner choose to do more than 5 that is fine. But you must do atleast 5. I am going to say single fans but again if you and your partner want to do double fans or more that will be between you and your partner.

Once you receive your daylilies please post here. We all would love to know what you got.

This is how this will work. Your partner will choose 3 daylilies from the have to trade list of your partner. The remaining 2 daylilies will be chosen by your partner to send to you. Now if you choose newer daylilies from your partner then make sure you have the same comparable types on your list. It would hardly be fair for one partner to send $200 worth to their partner when there partner is only sending $20 worth to them. Lets make this fair to all. If you only have older daylilies to trade then consider only picking ones that are comparable to the ones you can send. If your partner say pick whatever and does not care that you will not be sending the same quality that is between both of you. Just trying to make this a fair and happy swap. If someone does not understand please feel free to ask. I will try to explain it better.

Livelyhope, flowersandbirds4ever, and Jennifer Please send me several references of others you have traded with on GW. The references need to be to me by no later than April 15th. If these are not received by then I will assume you are not interested in being part of this swap. If any of you would like my references please feel free to ask. I will be happy to give any of you a very long list of those that I have traded with. The others, Mary, Shirley, Meghan, Betty, Anita, Sandi, Carol, Melinda, and Lee I can vouch for. I have traded with all of them.

Now as for the last thing. I have tons of other perennials and things I had acquired to trade this spring and summer and currently do not have but a few to trade with so I am starting a perennial trade group to include daylilies, hostas, ect. if anyone is interested please feel free to join. Same rules apply, if I don't know you or you are not being brought in by someone I know you will have to provide references. This will be a group that will trade plants and other things. Just a friendly group of traders that would like to trade with others. Some know what I am talking about. Just an offer if anyone is interested here. I am just really leery of getting back into trading with those I do not know as I was burned many times. Been there done that and didn't even get a T-shirt.

Its getting chilly out again so I need to go move a few plants in.

Nite all,
Deni

Sounds good! I too am getting hit with freezing weather and trying to mulch and cover things again! Hope it doesn't last long. Going to loose our fruit this year I'm afraid! Azaleas are blooming and so many things up and blooming. Iris, linum, dianthus, many things! What a bummer! And I have poppy seedlings all over about 2 inches high and it makes me sick! Working hard at keeping things going but one never knows! The poppies were special ones and first time I have done them and they were doing so good! Been covering but with cold for several days they may still get hurt! Looking forward to this! Wanting so many daylilies!! But I always want something else!! LOL!
Have a great day! Melinda

Anita, Yea we had the snow here too on Tuesday and Wednesday! Some towns around here had to cancel school on Wed. It is melting today just in time for ?more Friday and Sat. Hope it goes south this time! (Sorry people south of me)
Surprisingly things do not look too bad today! The daylilies/iris are still green down by the soil. Just the top is white and mushy. The crocus are still trying to bloom! Unbelievable!
Not so sure about what will happen with the tulips and the pulmonarias will have to regrow. They are black! My coralbells may need to be trimmed up too!I plan to wait and see what happens!
I just looked and my lists at GW are gone too...POOF!
I will have to redo them.
As soon as this snow melts I will have to go see what I have to trade!

I have emailed everyone I have not heard from. As soon as I here back I will send out partners. If I do not hear back from everyone by Monday night I will post partners with the ones we have. If need be I will take on 2 partners. Not a problem. I guess I can list the partners I had already done so everyone can start looking over the lists. Then if we do not hear back from someone I will just take their place or if there is someone else that does not have a partner we can move them to be there partner. Hope this makes sense. I am brain dead with all that has gone on with Meghan this week. Her surgery went well and we came home Wednesday night. We then had to rush her back to the hospital and they found that something had been nicked when they where in there and she was bleeding into the abdomen. Scared us to death. We are back home now and she is doing well. She is ready to get this trade going. Below is the partner list. I will put brakets around those I am waiting to hear back from. If there are no brakets you can go ahead and get your trade started.

Deni's partner is (Lee)
(Lee's) partner is Deni

Meghan's partner is Shirley
Shirley's partner is Meghan

Betty's partner is (Anita)
(Anita's) partner is Betty

(Sandi's) partner is Mary_s
Mary_s's partner is (Sandi)

(Kathi's) partner is myohmy
myohmy's partner is (Kathi)

As I hear from those in the brakets I will let you know so you can get on with your trade.
