UPDATE: now cut that out round robin swap #5

Yippee! We are racking up the threads! Another update.

NOW Cut that OUT! Cuttings & Bulbs swap.

This swap is for cuttings and live portions of plants of any type. Rhizomes, woody cuttings, leaf cuttings, bulbs, any part of a plant that you know will root and "clone" the plant.

This is as much an educational swap as it is about giving someone cuttings. Please research how your cuttings need to be treated so they will root. When you send your cuttings, please include directions on how to root your plant.

Now the rules:

1) Sign ups will be until March 1, 2009.

2) You will need to package and mail your cuttings in a priority mailer so they reach me on March 12 or 13, 2009.

3) I have a crew of volunteers that will sort, repackage and help ship the packages on the weekend so they can be returned in the mail on March 16, 2009 by priority mail.

4) When you send your cuttings, include postage for a small flat rate box ($10.35) and a return mailing label in your package so it can be returned to you.

5) Post on this forum what types of plants you can make cuttings and what type of cutting you are making (woody, leaf, rhizome, bulb, etc) and how many you can make like this:

Figs, Civil War Era unnamed variety: wood cuttings. (I can make as many as you like)

Lemongrass, bulbs (I have 10 to share)

Blue bearded iris, rhizome (I have 6 to share)

Pampas Grass, rhizome (I have 8 to share)

Lucky Bamboo, stem cuttings (I have 6 to share)

Butterfly Bush, woody cuttings (I can make as many as you like)

6) Read through what is being offered and send me an email what you wish to get and from whom.

7) On March 2-4, I will contact the person making available cuttings and tell them how many cuttings they need to send.

8) When sending your cuttings, wrap woody sections with a damp paper towel or newspaper and put into an zip lock bag or a cut 20 ounce soda bottle.

9) Rhizomes and bulbs need to be sent bare root or in loose peat.

10) Leaf cuttings need to be layered in damp (NOT WET) paper towels and put into a zip lock bag.

Please research your plants. There is a LOT we can all learn about cuttings and propagating them. If you have any questions, please ask.

Mark

Jeanne, I hear ya on the sneezing!! I've been sneezing for two days strait!

Have you down for both garlics - so far there is plenty and have Barb down for both as well.

Well I wish everyone well and hope that these colds and bugs subside soon :/

Take care everyone :)

Please let me know if you want anything I have to offer.

Think I'm down to one stevia start left, so if it's not accounted for, it's Marks :) (I'm thinking he's going to be receiving many extras lol so be prepared ;))

Tammy (greenthumbgrow) - I have you down for the Quinault Strawberry. I would love to try grafting that Cortland Apple. Thank you!

Barb, Wendy, Toni, & Jeanne - I sure do feel for you all... I hope you get over the bugs soon... It lasted WAY too long here at my house...... Mine was just like yours, Jeanne, I had it twice and was sick for more than a month total. I was also surprised at how bad that was.... not a typical cold or flu at all.

Blessings,
Angela

Kim - Won't have them for the summer swap, but I'll have plenty of all blue and all red to share, come the fall or spring swap. Plus Purple Majesty. Just remind me when it comes around. After the swap my initial shipment came in so my garden is like a forest of spuds. I ended up with 5 lbs of seed spuds in all blue. I'll also have LOADS of J-chokes if anyone wants any. We're still keeping you and hubby in our prayers. Stay strong! Doors are opening and I pray they bring a miraculous outcome...I know it's hard....but know you have many here pulling for the two of you. Wanted to post a quick update. As I've been posting, I've been experimenting with the grape cuttings, to see how late they would root. I've been told they have to be taken in the late fall or winter and I've been told they won't root any time but early Spring, before they come out of dormancy, so I decided to prove that to myself....I took a few cuttings on Easter, April 12th and they have rooted beautifully, but also took cuttings on April 26th and they are beginning to root like crazy too. I'm not sure, at this point, what kind of success rate the 26th cuttings will have, but they are beginning to shoot roots everywhere. Had a 9-1 rate with the 12th cuttings, so I'll keep track of the 26th cuttings. This was the bagging method AND I pinched off any larger leaf growth to force energy back down in the stem. They are now starting new leaf growth. Did the same with some new kiwi cuttings. Had to pinch out new growth from the kiwis, but they appear to be pushing roots. I don't know the success rate, but they all look good so far. I'll post again when I know. Oh bless her heart, I was in a swap with another GW'r and she sent me some REALLY Special cuttings. She started them before she sent them, so I walked her through the process, but she did such a great job! When I received the packages of cuttings, one of the cuttings already had roots over 1/4 inch long. If that isn't just amazing!!!!!!!! I love cuttings!!!!!!! I'M HOOKED!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR OPENING THIS DOOR MARK!!!!! If a new thread is opened I'll post some more pics... Oh I want to see more pics of others roots and successes. If anyone needs help posting pics, please let me know, it's very easy, I'd be happy to help. Toni

Just stopped in to say Hi to everyone. Dan so glad you got your surprise! I am looking forward to the fall swap and with God's help, John will have had his transplant and be healthy again. If I miss the posting for the swap later in the year, I am counting on you all to let me know. I had a picture of all my rooted plants all potted up but I was cleaning pictures out of my FULL camera and must have accidently erased it. They all went into the new hoop house my husband built me (except the house plants and banana). All the cuttings went into the propagator. I put the 3 cut potatoes into large pots and will either leave them there or very carefully transplant them out into a larger home when the frost has past...but it will probably be too late by then. I still have 10 more potatoes to plant, YIPEE, when the time is right. I put all the iris into a huge pot and am sure it will be beautiful. Later in the year, they should have multiplied (as iris do) and then I can divide and replant out in permanent beds. I was hoping to get some flower beds together this year but it probably won't happen until the fall now. Of course the more stressed I get, the more work I seem to get done LOL. I get a nervous energy that I wish I could package..well that and insomina due to worry (that I could do without). I still have to figure out what to do with the garlic since technically it should be planted in the fall. I think I can plant into pots or garden and let grow in the summer and then transplant in the fall. I have some growing in the hoop house now that I planted last fall (if you look at my blog you will see where) behind the lettuce. My next job is to make a list of 1) everything already planted 2) everything in the propagator and 3) what I have left to plant (potatoes and garlic). I want to put this on my blog. I especially want to be able to update the blog later to let everyone know how my plants are doing. Oh yeah, Jordan was over for a couple hours last night and just kept saying OH COOL! when we looked at all the plants...and of course she helped me pot up a few things. Well gotta TRY to sleep as I work the next 2 days, 12 hour shifts. If it is not too crazy at work, I may have a few minutes to check in. Kim Here is a link that might be useful: Kim's blog

Hi Jeanne, There were several who sent in yukons, I'm not sure if any I sent in went your direction or not, but they may have been from someone else as well. That's so exciting that you have already had potatoes!!! Mine are growing like crazy as well and I'll have bunches of blues and reds for a fall swap...so I hope everyone wants some lol. Garlic is going crazy and so are J-Chokes - will have PLENTY to share next time around!!!!!! Here's a sad story that turned out awesome!!! Amazingly, bad circumstances with rooting cuttings can be turned around if caught in time. There was one cutting offered, of Night Blooming Cereus and it was sent my direction. The cutting looked beautiful and I planted it as soon as it arrived - with the method I learned long ago. It did nothing but turn slimy and had like green goo on the bottom and I figured it was a lost cause. So I pulled it from the pot and looked closely at it. I could see that half of the leaf was still strong, but the bottom just gave up. Out came the scissors and I trimmed away most of the bottom portion of the leaf, only leaving the center vein or what ever it's called. I left only the top green part and put it back in the starting pot. It has a new leaf now YAY!!!! So it made it beautifully! My dragon fruit also has a new section growing, which has an additional root growing from it. The new one is almost 3 inches tall now WOOOHOOO! I planted out my Candace grape, Concord Grapes and a BUNCH of Pinot Noir grapes. Also have three more types that were sent from a friend in another swap. They are rooting like CRAZY! My Zin is doing beautifully and a bunch of other cuttings are doing great as well. Not quite sure why, but the Civil War Fig didn't make it. Both methods I used to root them didn't work. I wonder if they needed end cuttings as that's what I've had success rooting on others. I have some beautiful figs, Brown Turkey and Celeste, from cuttings and was sent some more Celeste figs from the same friend as the grapes above. I walked her through the bagging method, which she did before sending. Upon their arrival, they had roots already going crazy! Needless to say I have some beautiful starts going! YAY!!! Kiwis are in pots and growing like weeds. If you don't have roots on your kiwis and only the puffy callus and the look of roots or white bulging breaking through the sides, plant them...fertilze them and watch them grow!!!!! For some reason, the roots don't seem to like light. They are extremely timid showing their roots and in the clear bottles, the only ones getting roots are the ones that don't show in the rooting mixture. I had a long branch of kiwi that I thought was dead, so I pulled it out of the rooting mixture and used it in a pot to stake up another plant....THE BLASTED THING IS GROWING NOW!!! I have to carefully try to get it out of the pot and put it in its own lol. Can't wait 'til Mark posts the next one. I joined the one posted above (Thank you Jeanne) as well and what a wonderful group to swap with. Can't wait til my partner gets her cuttings! I'm so grateful for all I've learned in this swap!!! And it has gone so much further 'cause I understand what is meant with so many other things with the verbiage that is involved with taking cuttings. I am able to understand the difference between hardwood cuttings and softwood cuttings and know that so many other things can be cloned with this method. Thank you everyone :) Take care....gotta get back to planting...the veggie garden STILL isn't done lol. Toni

I agree with Barb, Toni. You are so very generous to share with us all what you ordered. The extra garlic start is especially exciting for me since I'm Italian. I can't wait to grow that one, so thanks for putting me down. Is there anything in particular that you're hoping for? I would love to pick some up to share with you if I can get it locally. Please, let me know. I really wish I had more to send your way with all you're sending my way!

Hi all, still having computer problems but put on a pop up blocker which is working ok but now my computer is running very sssssllllooooowwww!!! Angela could you put me down for an asparagus? Out weather is not cooperating for me to get outside and look around :(

I did get some of the plums propagating and they are getting blooms...I hope this means things are rooting but I am not sure. I will send these and cuttings which are dormant just in case. The geraniums are not too happy with my new method of propagating...usually I just stick them in water. These look like they were too moist. I guess I needed 2 propagators...one to keep really humid and one not so humid. I will send cuttings of the geranium if these don't look too good. The clematis is barely budding out and I hope this will not be a problem as is the redtwig dogwood. Well I have to say I am at least learning a few things here.

Well I cannot play too much as it takes almost 2 minutes just to load one page...if dh ever opens another email like the last one he is a dead man! Kim

Angela, That's okay, there will be other swaps :) I'm just happy to share and learn along the way! I'm having so much fun finding new stuff...rooting things and learning about cuttings! Believe me, what I'm learning is well worth the time and things I'm picking up. And remember, I'm only buying things that I'll be planting myself, just sharing what I've purchased.

As you may recall, I am working on a community project, so I've been doing quite a bunch of purchasing for that as well. There will be a load of time involved in helping others learn, but it will be worth it! Buying bulk has been a wonderful thing! I do tend to get carried away, but it's still fun lol.

Have to share....DS has a favorite program "Survivor Man". Well a few episodes ago, Survivor man found "cocona" in Panama, which is a close relative to a tomato. Well we purchased "cocona" seed for him from tradewinds....(I love tradewinds!!!) He is SO stoked!!! We planted some in those pop bottle greenhouses and THEY'RE SPROUTING!!! They're supposed to take 2-3 months, but it's only been 2 weeks. So he's just elated!!!!!

WOW! Great posting today. That helped out a lot folks.

Angela, May I have one of the Quinolt strawberries? I would also like the mini pink crepe myrtle.

Toni, If you want to cut the potatoes before you send them, that would be fine. I think they will survive that long cut from what I read.

I am still dealing with my bronchitis. I have had it on and off since October and am tired of it. Two weeks ago the coughing was so bad, my ribs hurt too. Now, I have lost my voice. My students are happy!

Toni (dirtdiggin) - NO WAY, girlfriend! That is just TOO cool! I'm so excited for you and your son! Our family just loved that show for the longest time. We just got tired of watching that poor guy never eat, though. LOL!!! BTW, I think Tradewinds is the best place on earth.... LOL

Kim - I have you down for the asparagus.

Mark - I put you down for both, no problem. I can't believe how long you've been sick!!! That sounds pretty bad. What did the doctor say?

Angela, thanks for asking....

Doctor said not much we can do. It is simply inflamation. No bacterial, no pneumonia. Changed asthma meds again, but still not getting rid of it. I get bronchitis about every year, some years worse than others. It goes away eventually....

I had 11 students out in my classes today. All the teachers are saying they have large numbers of students out. We also have 9 sick teachers... something going around.

Maybe that good, strong garlic will help!

It sure sounds like a lot of people are out sick. I'm more concerned about you, though, especially with you getting this so often! I think you might be on to something with the strong garlic for sure, but you might also look into other plants that help. I am a firm believer in garlic for health benefits, but I've also recently read about some medicinal plants that might help something like what you have. I'll TRY to remember to look into this again real soon online and see if I have any seeds I can send you. I don't have very many medicinal herbs yet, so I probably don't have the right ones, but it's sure worth checking into.

We have a local restaraunt that hangs Pothos (the indestructable house plant) between each booth. They cut back all the longer growth and root them and put them back in the pots. They get so beautiful and full. Love Pothos!!

About geranium seeds, the other day as I was taking off the yellow and dried leaves from my geranium and dead heading them, I was so thrilled to find in my hand among the spent dried up flowers , one cluster, of very unusual cool deep red geranium, actually had seeds with little tails on them with a little fluff on each tail! I planted those, about 6 of them, if they come true , they will be my very first geranium babies! This geranium is the one that has a slender, lower spreading woody stems, with waxy 5 pointed lobed leaves.
hope i didn't miss anything else I'd regret missing :( Chris

prickly pear cactus
Nelly Moser Clematis
Rosemary
Hens and Chicks
Forsythia
Brandywine, suduth
Garlic, one of each please
Wild Blackberry, a few if you can. That is on my list to start a patch this year. Do you let yours go in a patch or do you trellis it or???

Thanks everyone. Hope everyone gets to feeling better. I know we have stomach flu going around at school. Kids are going to offic, but unless they have a fever, the nurse sends them back to class. We have 3 or 4 puke all over their desks and oooh gross. We have had weird luck with gall bladder prob's among the teachers in our hall. Does anyone know what would cause gall stones?? It is weird. 5 out of 9 teachers have had it this year and 1 already has hers out so she does not count.

Off to school

Hi, Patti - Welcome!

I would like a Snowball Bush cutting, Quince, and some garlic - all four if you have enough and if not, Chesnok Red and Silverskin Italian.

Thank you so much. I will try to do like some others did and put up a list of what I am sending and what I am receiving. I know I still have some things that are unclaimed.

Mark, that is terrible that you have been sick for so long. I used to teach and losing your voice is so horrid.
Get well soon.

I can hardly keep up. I hope Mark is because I am LOST.

I guess I'd better start requesting items or my box is going to come home empty.

PATTI, May I please have:
I just copy and pasted, I mean 1 offer of each.

5 offers - Chives
10 or more - Wild Blackberry - I have tons just have to get to them to dig roots.

10 or more offers of each - Garlic - Oregon Blue, Purple Glazer, Chesnok Red and Silverskin Italian

I would like one of each of the garlic but will take whatever is left. No problems.

Dirtdiggin/Toni

I would like from your list, if possible:

Alpine / wild strawberry
himalayian blackberry
evergreen blackberry
stevia
mammoth dill seed
fingerling potato
all blue potato
purple majesty potato
yukon gold potato
all red potato
garlic - california white
garlic - lorz italian red

Since I could not keep up, does anyone have:
Jerusalem Artichokes
Horseradish
Shallots
Onion starts

I would also LOVE any kind of strawberries & blackberries (prefer thornless but I will not be picky).

Okay, last question. Does anyone know if I can ship Figs that have already rooted? Can I just wrap them in moist vermiculite in a baggie and rubberband it? If I can get some answers on this one, I can offer figs. The timing of this swap does not coincide w/ my zone and the figs are not dormant anymore.

Nancy ~ I read that if they are already rooted and shipped fairly quickly they should be fine to mail (figs) If they are going to someone who is still covered in snow, they will need to baby them of course til a good planting time outside. IF you do send may I please have one ?? I have an Italian bf and my gosh he loves his figs! lol

I've got to do some looking around and checking lists to be sure I'm on track myself!

Off to p/u kiddos

Here are two more. I think I listed the viburnum before but I don't think there were any "takers." I'm sorry I don't know the variety. The leaves are evergreen here. It was labeled when I bought it, but I looked up the picture when I got home and it was not the one in the picture - so mislabeled. I have only had it for one growing season, so I can't tell you a lot about it.
I have not listed this rose before but I have cuttings of it. I think the patent has run out on it. If I hear differently, I will pull it from the offers. I try to be really careful not to trade cuttings of anything that is under patent. The bush grows to 4 feet for me, but the roses are small. The flowers remind you of popped popcorn.

Toni (dirtdiggin) - I'd like a white j-choke, please.

Patti - I'd also like Lemon Balm, please.

Nancy - I'm so glad to see you posting and looking through lists! I was wondering where you were! On the figs that aren't dormant, I would think shipping them would be fine. Others are sending in live plants, not just dormant cuttings. I'd love to have one of the figs, if you don't mind sending it in for me! Mark has five people working with him, to repackage everything quickly and get it right back out to us, so hopefully the plants won't go through too much shock from transit.

Blessings,
Angela

Patti - It looks like my original list of requests disappeared! My list from you should be:

Angela - Angelady

Quince (a few cuttings)
Valerian Root
Wild Blackberry
and one each of the 4 garlics
Lemon Balm

Nancy - I have Quinault Strawberry starts. I have you down for one offer, but that might only be one plant, just so you know.

I have everyone down for what they requested in order they requested. If I run out when I start packing, then I didn't have any more to send. Feel free to request, though, in case I have enough! So far it looks like I'm able to fill all the recent requests for at least one item per person of what they requested except for possibly the pink 4:00 tubers and Dragon Fruit.

Blessings,
Angela
