Plant Swap - Early September

16 years ago

I know this board doesnt get very much traffic. BUT>>> I have a plant shipment that should be coming in September and that means - MAJOR GARDEN OVERHAUL. I am already planning stuff in my head! I will most likely have a few plants to trade and would love to chat with some people locally - and maybe we can get together.

I live in Martville NY - A tiny little town with only a post office! I am about 20 minutes from Oswego/Fulton and 50 minutes from Syracuse. Is there anyone within convenient driving distance of me? LOL, I doubt it.

Hi Rhonda, this will be in the High Point - Greensboro - Winston Salem area. We've had visitors from as far as Raleigh and Charlotte before. Newbs are very welcome, there is always plenty to share. We do have a pot luck after the swap and you can always make up something yummy for that! :)

Good Morning everyone, I am finding a lot of seeds germinating in the garden. Right now I have a lot of Columbine Woodside Variegata coming up every where, these will either bloom pink or dark purple, the leaves are variegated light green and dark green. And I also have a few Keys of Heaven also germinating. If anyone is interested in these I will pot them up for the trade in September. They are growing nicely but I want to add mulch to the area they are growing and they need to come out. Thanks, Cathy

What Happens When Garlic Planted Early (September)?
Q
Comments (16)
Over the course of the summer I have dug a couple to check. The last one was about a week ago and it was about a quarter in diameter. This set were the surviving cloves from a set of hardneck bulbs that had mostly dried out in warm storage. They had not been subject to any cooling period since they were dug in August of 2014, and all sprouted quickly when planted in June of 2015. Not one of them sent up a scape either this year, but all stand up to about 12" to 15" tall with almost no drying leaves nor has that situation changed at all for a long time. They haven't been watered either after they showed good initial growth. The real question in my mind was whether I could get large single rounds out of the small cloves. I think I can at this point but I do not know if I can get them to cure. I may have to use them green. The second question is whether they will winter from an early summer planting, which I think is likely, and then hopefully produce an increased size bulb next summer. edit: garlic almost certainly needs a rest period before it can sprout, but I do not think it needs cooling for that. What it needs cooling for is to start the blooming scape (sorta sounds like tulips doesn't it - same sort of thing IMO). I do not store my garlic cold, but rather at room temperature in a corner of the kitchen. The variety in the summer bed sends up scapes real easily when fall planted and wintered over in the ground. Even bulbils often do. But this summer bed never showed a single bolt. I intend to do this again perhaps on a larger scale depending on what this set of two dozen cloves ends up producing. So far whatever they end up doing they are all behaving very much alike, really uniform to this point.

You can find it on the Facebook group Waxahachie plants share. This is the first plant swap for this group, so nobody knows quite what to expect, but I think there will be a good turnout. It is at getzendaner Park, not too far off I-35 e.

I live in Syracuse a could meet you.
I'm new to gardening (gardens are only a few years old). I do have a few plants (e.g., bachelor button, veronica spicatta) that I think need to be divided.

I am still waiting patiently for my Red Buckeye to arrive that I ordered last Sunday.....Hopefully it will be here by Monday to replace a maple that died and had to be removed. I shipped out some La. Irises to a gardener in Alabama on Wednesday and she already has them planted in the ground. Last week I got a Crossvine from one of our humgardeners in Philly and it is in the ground around my arbor. Thursday I removed quite a few hostas, since I know longer have a mostly shade garden to pass along to a new local gardener who just got married and moved into a new home and included some irises and a couple of Lily of the valley I know this is a swap thread but just wanted to emphasize the excitement we gardeners experience when we receive or share plants and seeds to further promote our addiction.

HI Guys,

due to the slow traffic on here I am moving this post to the exchange thread so these plants can get in the ground asap.
