P AT, I SENT YOU AN EMAIL JUST NOW BUT IT DID NOT GO THROUGH... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I CUT AND PASTED YOUR ADDY BUT IT GAVE ME AN ERROR MSG.

WHAT I SAID WAS THAT ALL OF MY ORCHIDS DIED,, I CAN'T GROW TOMATOES BECAUSE THE CRITTERS EAT THEM, BUT THANKS,

MsRed, did you accidentally copy the period into the email address. That is easy to do.

I have a few of these potted. But can also bring cuttings since they root easy. Here are the details about this plant.

That plant goes by the name of Sambung Nyawa, or Life sustainable plant. This plant has a reknowned reputation as a blood balancer. Reports are that if Diabetics eat 6-12 leaves a day they will no longer require insulin. Scientific studies on rats verify this. Satisfy yourself by googling this plant and searching YouTube.
Diabetes Plant is reputed to have other medicinal values like lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure and inhibiting cancer cells. Diabetes Plant tastes fine and can be eaten raw, in smoothies, salads, and stir-fries. Good in a tea. Fast growing in all areas….fleshy-leaved evergreen. Full sunlight shade.

Let me know if you want one and what you have to trade. Thanks

I have one that I got from Ragna and it lived through my non gardening during the summer. I kept it in a pot in the shade and it rewarded me heartily I did do daily watering. That is the only thing that gets that attention. I just heard that Longevity spinach might come back from the roots. HMMMMM. I am not going to chance my only plant , but I might start rooting a plant to put out in my wet zone next year. It is good in salads and stir fry. If you want one of my plants, just ask ( @ Leaping Frog) No need to trade.

@thank you so much but I was telling people I have these already potted. Just would rather take to those that want to trade. :)

Pat, would you like a pink Canna to trade with that diabetes plant one or two.

Swap is tomorrow! Please bring the $1 to pay for the park reservation. Please make sure you don't park in front of people's mailboxes or their driveways. Looking forward to seeing many of you!

i can get DH to help you with it.

I had a good day. Leaving home in the fog and rain in the dark pre dawn kind a scared me but I continued on through the fog as they say. The rain stopped as I drove passed Bulverde. I am glad I did not turn around. I brought home some great salvias, redbuds, coralvines , shrimp plants, agaves, succulents. WE had many people who showed that did not do the pre trade and we had new faces. One man came down from Roundrock with many nice sized Salvia darcyii and Black and Blue. I didn't catch his name. Thank you all for coming and participating. Thank You Mamachile for the donuts and coffee. Thank You one and Thank you all.

Pat, thanks for the bear grass, i had to look it uo because i did kmow what it was... i love it! i will put it up high so my cat can't eat it ;;-) ... The photos on the web are so pretty; Thanks so much!

irene

Thank you everyone for coming and to Hope and Gaylon, new members. Missed our usuals: Ragna, Patty and Karen. Irene, the bear grass was from me, it's a Texas native and should be planted outside in the full sun.

I'm going to try and make it next spring! I'm already thinking about what to propagate between now and then to bring. I trust that Karen and Patty will be there too, if I have to drag them I will, or they may be dragging me ... LOL I'm happy to hear there were new people attending!!! Yea!

Yes, please do. Either day will be fine. What can I dig for you? ... :-)

"-----The swap never dies.------" LOL

The swap never dies, but my plants do. Lol

Irene, I didn't stop by, I gave them to Pat to give to you.

Mamachili, Thats why we don't stop coming back.

At the swap, I had a conversation with Sheila, Pat & Rosie about water rooting things. There was a YouTube or website mentioned that showed the process, can one of you share that info again? Thanks!,

Is there a spring swap planned for this year? I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a bunch flower and vegetable sets to swap as I've been planting the last 2 weeks.
