Comments (42)I have tons of garden wants, but here's what's been on my mind lately (greatly influenced by what I saw on your "Have" lists): Cranesbill/hardy geranium (anything other than the terribly strong, citronella-smelling kind--I have that one) Black raspberry cane Sweet woodruff Hellebore (to replace the trades I killed last year) Burgundy hellebore Lemon balm More snow drops (love these!!)

Comments (39)TINA asked me to start a new thread since I wanted to make sure that I had captured everyone's emails from my time in hospital. I am now facing complication 2, but my husband has offered to stand in for me, bring and collect everything, and even bring the food. Will everyone please look at my last because there are many things I asked for, but did not receive a response on, and I do not want people to expect we've made an agreement and not get it. Thanks, Lisa...See MoreWANTS: 2018 SPRING MAG SWAP (Sat, 5/12/18) - Plants You WANT List
Comments (31)This is Henrietta's (Garden Gramma, our swap host) list. She is on our Facebook page as she finds this too difficult to navigate these days.) Here is my wish list: Any blue blooming perennial in this area. Have sun and shade. Any vegetable, am particularly interested in oriental veggies. My Larry is turning vegetarian at age 90, he’ll survive me by tens of years. His aim is to make it to 100. Any lace hydrangea, have some already, and can share shoots or cuttings. Would love some evergreen seedlings, have corkscrew and pussy willows rooted. Would love some clematis, have some I can share. Chinese wisteria, rooted. You can dig something in my garden in exchange. Any holly seedling, have trifoliate hardy orange. Some tomatoes, please I did not start any this year. Larry? I like the bushy type, not vining and not cherry tomatoes, please. I think this is plenty, I also have cuttings of houseplants that I can share, you’ll see. All easy to grow and blooming. Oh, one more thing, any succulents, if you have spares, need to know if hardy or not, I only have the non- hardy variety and actually like them....See MoreWANTS: 2018 SPRING MAG SWAP - Plants You WANT List (5/12/18)

Separate threads will be opened for HAVES & to bring Food If you're new to the swaps, please take the time and have the courtesy to read these posts. They're here to help everyone have a good time. New to this Forum? Yes, you can come if you don't have any plants. Your assignment will be to bring food for our potluck lunch which usually starts at 12noon after we have swapped/traded plants. It takes a lot of energy to do the swapping!!!! Extra points if you bring PROTEIN! Chicken / Burgers / Hot Dogs to put on the Grill !!!! Also Veggie dishes, as we'd like to also eat healthy :-) please post FOOD in the separate Food Thread 1. Post a list of the plants you WANT on this thread, ideally with Latin names to avoid confusion, and cultivar names if they have them and you know what they are. 2. List other garden stuff, such as seeds, tools, books / magazines or all things Garden that you wish to swap or give away. 3. Do NOT arrange the swap or trade on this thread, e-mail the person to arrange it. 4. READ other people's lists. If you see things you want and would like to swap or trade for, e-mail the person directly to arrange it. Do that via private e-mail by clicking on your person's name at the top of their post. 5. Do NOT post a list of plants that you HAVE for swapping or trading on this list. There is a separate HAVE thread for this purpose. 6. Do NOT discuss who will be bringing what kind of Bavarian apple tart food to the swap. There is a separate HAVE thread for food. 7. Do UPDATE your posting here and on your member page with your Haves and Wants. THIS IS IMPORTANT: When you bring your plants, LABEL your plants if possible. We often forget which was what by the time we get them home! Popsicle stick, plastic spoons, recycle old window blinds or other "plantable markers" are great, as they can be popped right in to the ground along with the plant. Clearly mark & separate your "RESERVED PLANTS" (i.e., plants for which you have a pre-arranged swap). GENTLE REMINDER: At the swap, please do NOT take anything that is labeled for someone else, or is NOT labeled "Free" or "Please Take." Ask. That's all you have to do. If I have forgotten anything else, please add to this thread. Happy Gardening! Jette...See More- 9 years ago
