Totally off topic but....Vintage Hydrangeas
Comments (36)I had an Endless Summer in NC that bloomed 3X annually. It was about 5X5 sheltered by the house such that it only received morning sun and had no competition from tree roots. The color was garish, sorta turquoise, surely some anomaly due to soil type (I only fed it Rose Tone, every plant in my life gets Rose Tone LOL). I'm going to try a Blushing Bride at this house to get the rebloom without a need for sunglasses. I also had a hedge of five Bluebird lacecaps. They were stunning! The bloom period lasted about a month then the spent blooms persisted and turned interesting shades. The nicest hydrangeas I have yet seen were in coastal Connecticut/Long Island....See MoreWANTED: my plant list for the swaps --

Comments (150)Cool. I can see y'all have been busy. Is anyone else getting that sinking feeling of, "oh no.. what have we done?" (lol) I'm not even home yet and I already feel guilty about what I'm swapping for! I hope it stops raining long enough to care for everything we'll all be hauling back. (hehe) Notes: tn_veggie gardner (Steve) - I'll see about those dwarf pomegranate seeds. I'm not sure if the fruit are quite ready or not (they do have to ripen on the plant), but if they aren't, I'll just wait a bit and run them over to you sometime (It's not as if Percy Priest is miles away or anything). The fruit should be allowed to dry out thoroughly over the winter, and then come spring you can either plant them shallowly in a pot indoors (they need soil temps of around 65 degrees or better to germinate well) or outside later in the ground once the soil is warm. This variety ('Nana') does very well in a pot, so you may just want to do that. The plants are hardy to zone 7, but just to be safe I keep mine in the pot and then put it in the unheated garage near a window. Once a month I make sure it has a bit of water and I guess it goes semi-dormant, but it always leafs right back out once it starts getting more daylight and water again. I've overwintered it for three years successfully this way. Now, I think they could be left in the ground over winter here, as long as you gave it a very sheltered position, such as adjacent to a south-facing wall. I think they'd be like bananas and rosemary then, which aren't really supposed to be hardy here, but are with a bit of care. irisaddict - I'll have to see how many fruit I have out there, but as you can see above, I leave mine out in a pot all summer and then bring it into the garage for a bit of shelter over the winter. New-gardener-123 - I have one of the Shasta daisies for you, some trumpet lily bulbs, and a Korean bellflower. I'd love a chamomile start (if you still have some) and some gourd seeds for next year. :-) Pat - can bring you a bellflower in addition to the sedums already mentioned earlier. :-) Palmetto_gardener (Judy) - I'll give that second aster I have to you for those naked ladies. Thanks so much! And of course, the trades for Joe, Connie, Velvet, and Wanda already mentioned. I sure hope it doesn't rain tomorrow - otherwise it's going to be pretty mucky work getting the last few things out of the ground. And it's getting down to 34 this weekend!

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 MorePat
