15 years ago

Yeah! the time is here to start posting our lists and requesting from others.

Post your lists: During the month of April - End of Month

Mail Date: May 11th

Rules for the Swap:

Included in the swap could be items like submergable(Oxegenator) plants, floating plants, bog plants, tropicals or grasses to put around the pond or bog.

I will post a note over on the water gardening forum so they will know for those interested.

This is a a list-it/select it swap. Where you will list what you have to offer and let the others select from the list.

When you send your plants, 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 with the plants you have requested. Friendly Reminder: If the swap is a hugh success and you select a whole lot of stuff you may need two boxes - Just a note in case. If you do not want to do two boxes just don't select as much stuff from other peoples lists -But it is hard ;-)

**I know on the water forum they exange snails and other stuff like that- This is acceptable but please be sure to package them in the correct manner. Thanks.

NOTE Be sure to label each plant sent with the plant name and gwname of person it will be going to.

    A group swap is when multiple people sign-up to swap what they have. They take place under the Round Robin Exchange forum. Normally once the swap goes live the participants make a list of items they would be willing to swap and for then you pick the ones you want from the others list you can choose one of someone elses. The plants / seeds/ etc. are then mailed to the designee who swaps all the plants etc into the correct mailer and sends them back out. Thats just the quick version. They are a lot of fun. You should check out the forum and view a couple that are going on right now. I LOVE the seed swaps (they are my fav.) I get alot of awesome seeds that way. Normally whoever is doing the swapping will look at your want list and try to match up your top wants. Its pretty fun. This is the first water one I have done. Hope that helps. Tammy

    Cottage plants that dont mind wet feet

    I had the same issues, and had a landscaper come over for just an hour to give me advice. That was the best hour as he helped me design my front yard, which I in turn did myself, but he told me to dig a trench around the boggy area and start adding alot of grass and other mulch to it to built it up out of the mud. All the back yard water drains into it. This year I planted my veggie garden there. It was the only sunny place outside of the front yard, so all we had were tomatoes, jalapenos and bell peppers. This spring we will finally dig our ditches larger and add river rock. And I have piled leaves, grass, hay, and pulled weeds to that area. Will have to continue next year.

    Well, I must not have walked under any ladders or had any black cats cross my path because boy do I feel lucky!! My seed packet has arrived with the most wonderful assortment of seeds.

    wendy and fran - You are both confirmed for the willow.

    Isn't it a beauty. I was soooo excited when I found it you just wouldn't believe it. I think I embarrased DH as I had to find the person in charge to get them because they were not offered for sale yet but you bet I wasn't going to be mising them. LOL

  • ncgardengirl
    15 years ago

    OK, I have worked on the webpages again, I think I have everything corrected.
    aqua, I didn't have those plants down as your have plants, Marian had them, that must been where the mix up happen I think Elizabeth just read it wrong.

    Ok, there are so request that need to be confirmed PLEASE look over the REQUEST page for YOUR name under the person who is requesting your items, IF they are not RED PLEASE CONFIRM you have these for the person.

    Thanks!

    I KNOW a swap like this can be confusing and it is hard to keep track of the request being made, this is why I made the pages. I had hoped it would be easier on everyone to be able to see them all in one place. HOWEVER, it only works if everyone uses them :O lol....

    I confirmed Wendy's requests from me and she confirmed mine from her.

    Aquawise, I just looked at your wants page, and I have a few seeds each of peony poppies (purple) and black eyed susan vine I can send in for you. I'm hoping this is okay to offer directly to you, but since I'm asking for so many of your plants, I wanted to make sure you get something from me too! If this isn't okay, someone please let me know.

    Also, I saw that Aquawise was looking for zebra grass seedes. I also have a huge clump of zebra grass I may be able to saw a clump off of if anyone is intersted. These clumps may not be pretty, but they should grow!

    Clethra Alnifolia 'Hummingbird'

    Wendy I am glad the puppy perked up! It is worrisome when an animal gets down because we have no idea what to do.
    I was upset yesterday because my SO's beagles (BEAGLES! the most NONAGGRESSIVE DOG EVER) jumped on my new Great Pyrenees Puppy and hurt her, it nicked her eye on the outside of her eye. I was so glad they didn't mess her up physically, maybe emotional but no physical damage but they jumped her to the point the she had to be taken out of the lot with them, the thing that gets me is SHE is BIGGER then them. I don't understand what happened or why but he heard them jumping her and he said they had her down like they were going to kill her, and it was Lily and Luke! I am still shocked, I posted pics of them somewhere on here.
    At any rate, I wanted to let her roam the yard anyway but she was pulling out plant tags and I couldn't have that so I put her back in there with them, but since this happened she will be free I guess. Better safe then sorry, I can't have her getting hurt. I thank goodness she isn't. She is so sweet!

    OK, I will update the pages with the newest info tonight. I will post when it is completed.

    Ok ya'll I am sorry but I haven't had time to check the threads to get the updates done, I have been busy. Trying to get seeds started, watering plants, moving the fishes and cleaning the tank, dividing the plants for this swap, planting stuff.
    There is honestly NOT enough time in the day to do all that needs to be done!

    I will get those pages done. I will try my best before Monday gets here.

    I am going to bed in the next few minutes....wow where did the day go?

  • victorian_bellefonte

    What a day! The Festival Gods were smiling, and we had perfect weather for the art festival. Crowds were way down, but lots of returning customers made it a great day for us despite the economy...whew! My new line of ginkgo, morning glory, naturtium and oak leaf hydreange leaves in earrings and pendants did really well...thank goodness!

    Anyway, I'm back to gardening for now until late June, so I can focus again! Everyone is confirmed that had requests from me. I'm not looking forward to sawing up the zebra grass, but hopefully DH can be cajoled into helping!

    NEW REQUEST
    Wild daffodils from Fran

    Fran, we are dealing with agression issues with our new pug puppy, Grace. We have two engl. springer spaniels, one who loves her, one who would happily eat her. We've tried a bunch of things, but the one just won't accept her. We've been keeping them separated, but giving Grace time with the one that likes her. It's a pain doing the constant shuffling, as I'd like to have them all outside with me while gardening. My sis is a vet out in NV, and suggested a behavioralist to help work on it. I just don't know how they'd be able to do anything different...

    Hope your little girl is doing better...our neighbors had a Great Pyrenees, Savannah, and she was such a wonderful dog.

    Elizabeth

  • ncgardengirl
    15 years ago

    Ah Elizabeth, Stormy is fine, so fine in fact I came to the conclusion that is was a conspiracy they cook up just so she could get out of the dog lot! She had been getting out everyday but after removing several plant tags and chewing them up I decided she was too much puppy right now to be allowed around the tags so in she stayed.
    She is happy as a lark being out of the lot, and she seems to be doing a little better with the tags, those that are sticking up are still to much for her to pass up on and she grabs them, I guess I will have unnamed plants thanks to her.
    She is a fabulous dog though she has a great personality and disposition I am THRILLED to have her, she is going to make a great guard dog which is the reason for getting her so I am happy with what I see from her so far.
    Ya'll I have been so busy today, I haven't had time for much else. I apologize for not getting to the pages yet but I WILL I promise!
    Well need to get outside and see if anything needs more watering...
    Later everyone, BTW Elizabeth I have you on the daffs!

    Good Evening all!
    I have good news. I divided the lotus and have a bunch of tubers. Enough that I can send two tubers to each who have requested them in the past. Most of the White water lilies are ready and I only have two totes of yellow to divide and I will be ready. The bad news is the lotus are really starting to put out shoots so they are more fragile to ship.
    So far I have them for:

    Tammy, I am so sorry you are ill. Seems like you just can't catch a break! I hope you recover quickly maybe all those antibiotics in your system helped kick the flus fanny!
    I didn't mean for you to go confirming I could have waited until you are MUCH better, now I feel quilty LOL.
    But thanks I appreicate it.

    Don thanks too, I am glad you have confirmed the request for your plants as well.

    Iris, how are you? Did you get moved? Is everything going ok? Do you have internet yet? Are you going to be able to still participate with us? What's going on? Let us know as soon as you can...we worry!

    Becky, I am so sorry you are having all the trouble you are having. I sure hope you get everything worked out.
    Are you going to be able to continue this swap too? It will not be too much on you will it? I would hate for you to have to dropout now, but we understand if you have too.
    I hope you don't but really, your health is more important then becoming exhausted over a swap and over exert yourself just for us, although I would love for you to be able to continue but if you can't then we will understand. You know I am hoping for the best for you and a speedy recovery after all the procedures needed. Take care lady! Please keep us updated on whatever thread you can.

    :) Fran

    Ahh, Aqua you are so sweet! That is nice of you to fill every request you can! Are you SURE you saw EVERYTHING we all asked for? LOL.

    I am going to try to do a check list Tammy when you feel better will you email me so we can talk about doing a confirmation list on the thread? Thanks hon.

    Well it is going to be a nice day so I better get out in the yard and do stuff.

    I will check back in soon, well when I take a break.

    :) Fran

    Fran ~ consider me confirmed hon. :) and btw, yes to the Rosemary in the email you sent. I haven't had time to respond at length, but that's not a problem at all. My internet is supposed to go down starting sometime this evening and will be off for at least a week or so. Just fyi :) Tammy, I will be checking in when I can from my bro's house when I'm able to. Will def be back before mailing date w/ some more offers as well.

    Hugs,
    Wendy

  • ncgardengirl

    Man Wendy, I really HATE that but at least you will not be down long...right?
    Thank you you are so sweet! I really appreicate it. REALLY REALLY....
    We will miss you while your gone so check in as often as you can and let us know when you are back up and running lol.

    OH, I see up there I said I better get outside and do stuff well I DID and NOW I am BACK inside AGAIN...lol

    Tammy I will go remove the Black Mondry grass...

    Hey I have a QUESTION? Has ANYONE ever started that from seed OR the Blue Fescue Grass from seeds? I have tried many times and NEVER gotten any of them to grow no matter what method I use....and info or tips would be nice lol.

    :) Fran

    Ok, Don't forget to also look at the dates something was asked for IF there are no dates it was BEFORE I started the webpages and most of that had already been confirmed BUT the person who asked for something first is who the item should go to....So don't forget who requested first SHOULD receive it, unless it is TAMMY and I think she should get 1st pick.

  • victorian_bellefonte

    Hi Fran,

    Please confirm each and every one of my requests...sorry, I had though I had done it, but must have missed them. Everything asked for I will send!

    I spent about 20 minutes and got the zebra grass about 2/3 way out of the ground. One side is still attached, and no amount of jumping on the shovel seems to work. I'm going to find a big serrated knife and attack it tomorrow when the weather cools off. :)

    thanks,
    Elizabeth

  • proudgm_03

    Fran, I think that I will be able to complete this swap. Hopefully all will go well Thursday and if the blockage is fixable with angioplasty or a stent they will do it then and since we don't have to mail out until the 11th I should have time to get things together. I'll let everyone know how things go on Thursday. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Hopefully I'll have some more extra winter sown babies to offer. I haven't been able to get out and check them much.

    On my personal list I had Fran down for some sedum sarmentosum but didn't see it on the requested page (unless I missed it). Did you still want that Fran?

  • sassybutterfly_2008

    Proudgm ~ I hope everything goes well for you hon. I'll keep you in my thoughts & prayers! You take it easy tho :) I know us gardeners don't know the meaning of that.. lol But take care of yourself, ok?

    Hugs,
    Wendy

  • sissifriss

    Fran really I had NO trouble with either of them. I just use a shallow pan or plastic shoe box and sow on the surface and cover with vermiculite and mist daily I had them both to germinate within 7-10 days. I have grown many times. Black moundry I have, but would have welcomed more from tammy, my seeds that I started this year I already had plans for, but blue fescue you can winter sow also I did last year, but this year started some in greenhouse in August they were in gallon pots by jan. Second sowing which you are getting was Feb and they are now in 4 inch pots, but could easily go up. HMMM did you sow on the surface. I have found that with grass seed it is imperative to use pans and not plugs or divided seed start containers. Just fill a container with dirt and they love it. I did not use bottom heat for the blue fescue, but did for the moundry. Black mondo which I was looking for is just a black mondo grass. Thompson and Morgan has seeds I may try it is so expensive for plugs, the same for Japanese Forest GRass, but I guess I will have to bite the bullet in the fall.

    Evening all.

    Proudgm-Don't worry about he stent or angioplasty. At least they realize there is a problem. I set off my episode on Jan 5 just walking up the stairs. I eat right, never smoked or drank and am very active. They checked, found the problem (99% blocked) and fixed it in under 2 hours and I don't even remember the procedure even though I was fully awake. A week later I was back at work and felt great. Stress was my problem and worring doesn't help. Keep the faith and you'll be back in the garden in no time. You will be in all our thoughts and prayers. We can compare stories afterwards about the hospital food!
    Sissifris-I have you down for lotus and a spider lily. Below is my mailing information:

    Don Bailey
    618 Lord St.
    Osage City, KS 66523

    And yes with an address like that there are 3 churches within 75 yards of my home.

    Good night all!

    You girls are great doing all the work for this swap. WE all want you to know how much we appreciate it. I for one wish you the very best. I will do my trades and send some extras for those that want them. Love you all and thanks.

  • ncgardengirl
    15 years ago

    OK I have heard from Mouse, she said:
    I am sorry I have not been active for a while we are having very odd computer issues where due to our new security software certain sites are blocked. (even though we have them listed as safe). Gardenweb and the needs/wants/have site are two of the sites I can't access. I have everyones wants from the last time I logged into gardenweb but none since then.

    She said at this time she will say she is out of everything just to be on the safe side.
    I will email her and let her know what request she has had since then and then will fix her comfirmation when I heard from her.
    Hopefully she will be back up and running soon.

    ON another note, I have been working on the request for the last 2 days, I wrote them down and then forgot to go back and put some on the pages. I will go over it one more time post and update and then Tammy and I are going to work on something else to help confirm FOR SURE what has been requested.
    If you think we are beating this in the ground well YEA, we want to make SURE the request have been seen. It is possible to miss something even when you think you didn't!

    Ok, I am tuckered out I am headed to bed finally! WIll post more in the AM.
