Comments (145)Christine, if Zee's tulip poplar doesn't make it (and Suja decides to stay where she is instead of moving closer in), there is a source in Bowie as well. I got one last fall that did well after transplant but didn't make it through the winter. The person I got them from has many more seedlings/saplings, and I'm sure we could go get one if we ask. You can come dig my spirea (and some hosta) whenever you like. There is a big spirea that has your name on it now. (Sigh of relief!) I'll bring some parts of smaller ones to the swap though, in case anyone else wants some. And I'll try to remember the fork, but if I forget it you can have it when you come get the spirea..oh, wait, maybe I should hold the fork hostage, and you can use it to dig up the spirea.. =) Lynne...See MoreWANTED: 2010 spring mag swap: plants you want list

Comments (18)Poly, squirrels!!! Be sure you leave the soil where the sedums "were" dry completely before watering. IÂd say thereÂs at least a 50/50 chance theyÂll come back, but itÂll take a while. When the soil is completely dry, water well, and then let it dry againÂand in a month or two I think theyÂll grow again. If theyÂre in pots, cover the top with ½" chicken wire, but it weÂre right that itÂs squirrels, youÂll need to secure it well or itÂll disappear along with the plants! Squirrels are "creative" creatures! At my last house they figured out how to shinny down a 6' long piece of wire, no thicker than sewing thread, to get to one of my bird feeders! They really are amazingÂif only they werenÂt so destructive! IÂm really surprised theyÂve been leaving your bird feeders alone! IÂll have LOTS of sedum plants and/or cuttings at the Fall Swap, so you can easily replace any that donÂt make it. If you put chicken wire over the top of the pots, the semps can go outside too, but if itÂs squirrels, theyÂll need to be protected till they multiply enough to provide a snack and still be around! IÂve never had them eat semps down to the ground! They just eat the top off of the "leaves," which makes them look pretty bad, but they survive to produce more chicks! Laura, glad to hear things are at least getting better. Sprouts also carries a lot of gluten free itemsÂthey have a little booklet of the GF things they carry. I just checked their site and theyÂre in the process of putting in a store in Ft. Collins. They have some really good deals on produce too! See you at the Fall Swap! Skybird...See More
