Comments (1)At one house, I nabbed some bags of what I thought were leaves (We have chickens, and a good way to keep the run from stinking is to dump leaves and other organic stuff on top. It rots down and never seems to get any higher . . . ) and upon dumping it into the run, to the surprise of me and the chickens I found I had three huge bags of cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior). I had no desire for any of it, so I put it up for grabs on Craigslist. Man was it popular. I had to dole it out but no one complained about getting a full grocery bag of the stuff. I'm bored to death with it so I was rather surprised at all the people, some who drove twenty miles to get it (They called and asked, and then drove knowing full well what they were getting when they arrived). I have also gotten african irises. Here and there someone tosses in dog poop or beer cans, but hey, that is the luck of the draw when you are curb snatching....See MoreWANTED: Houseplants.......some common

Comments (44)Nicole, don't know why I didn't notice your comment originally, sorry. Thanks so much for adding that info! The box of cheap 'rubber gloves' I have doesn't say 'latex free' on the label but they don't seem to bother me, strange. But I mention this because susceptibility of reaction to latex rubber and to latex sap don't seem to be interchangeable. Being able to wear a glove or prophylactic with latex isn't an indication of whether a plant with latex sap will give you a rash. The rash from heart-leaf Philodendron vine is just as bad, but easy to avoid now that I know, just don't touch the sap when taking cuttings. Guttation moisture doesn't seem to cause me a rash, just the sap. I KNOW I was not allergic to this before, I've taken cuttings many times over the many years I've had it around. Excellent point about those foods, thanks! Hementia, thanks! Carol, you never know when the Lantana might 'attack' you more severely! Good plan! DH finagled an outdoor sink for me, from a cracked bathroom sink we found on the curb. It's not pretty, but I can wash hands w/o tromping inside constantly. This bears repeating in italics: "You can develop an allergy overnight to something that has never bothered you before. So strange how that happens." Man, you ain't kiddin'! The only thing worse is not being able to figure out what's going on. Soooo glad I did (at least for now, and possibly partially. I suspect a lot of my 'house plants' have unfriendly sap - to my skin.)...See MoreHAVE: October Plant Trade Continued
Comments (109)If you missed the plant swap,I'm sorry for you!! It was great. Beautiful plants, good food, and the opportunity to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. Time to start thinking about the Spring Swap. Can I ask for some help? I got a varigated Ginger, and one person told me I could leave it outside,well mulched;another said it would die.HELP!!...See MoreRuss1023 (central Fla)
