extras - how do you give them away
Comments (21)I'm sorry that you are so far away from me. Swapping plants is a great way to get a larger variety. Senior Center, local gardening club, high school agriculture classes, 4-H, local library.... I would have thought Craigslist, but I had extra pecan trees and placed an ad. I got a dozen people who wanted one and then never showed up. 6 trees went to friends who garden and I have 34 pecan trees for myself. I'm putting a pecan in every empty space I can find. I am NOT throwing away pecan trees!!!! Oh, just thought. Maybe your local junior college offers gardening classes. Parks and Recreation offers classes and I think I've seen gardening classes offered. If you have a thrift store you like to support, maybe they would take them to try and sell them. Tons of plants and veggie starts get sold by the local stores, so somebody is growing veg. Do you have a local farmer's market?...See MoreWho cares for the plants while away? Do you get away?
Comments (23)Hey everyone....Thanks for all your tips and experiences... Larry....How are you? lol..You are too funny...I once almost hired a kid to water mine until he watered my fakes plastic ones too... Danielle..Congrats on that...If I meant away for a week and someone forgot to water my plants for just two days, many would croak..I've thought of having just succulents, but I can't seem to do away with my fragrant ones... Linda..Yes it has been a while..What's happening? I hope your fish made it this year..Boy it was brutal...All mine did. The water never froze because I kept it turbulent..Thanks for visiting and your ideas.. I'm sure you would do that for me. You are so kind:-))) Planto..Thank you so much..Yes, it is a bummer..It makes my heart heavy with sadness..Such a good guy and destroying his family...I hope he recovers. He loves my plants and the thought of taking care of them got him and I excited.. Purple...I am so glad you got to go away and came back to no issues...That's my plan...I hope you had a great time..You needed it I am sure.. Yes, being able to wake up and go to bed any time you want is something I have not done in years...Not to have to look at the clock is a luxery..I miss those days. I live in Northern Ma...Just on the border of N.H almost near the coast....So it can get cold here still by May which leaves me no choice except to wait until the end of May when all are safe outside. Ia m hoping to go to Florida..Far from here. I tried that stay home and relax thing and it did not work out. All I wanted to do was work on the house and more..Not good. I am talking about sleeping on a beach for days or reading a book on a chair at teh beach or by a pool, maybe Pugs house, Laurs or Patty's..lol I get up at 5 every day, run a cleaning buisiness, then work full time..Work out 4 days a week after work at 8 pm and then care for my parents about that. I also care for my home, feed the birds, cat, fish and plants...lol MIke...See MoreGive Away: sept 23 trade
Comments (27)Unfortunately, the Gaura roots rotted, so I'm crossing this off the list. Nightnurse -- I have you down for an Aster 'Puff', Anemone 'Honorine Joubert', and Eryngium 'Sapphire Blue'. Ruth -- You can have a Deutzia and a couple P.Ternata seedlings. I can offer you a couple 4" E. 'Sapphire blue', the gallons are gone, and I'll bring extra sedums including a couple I didn't list. Jeno--Yes, take them! (except the gaura; it's is no good)....See MoreHow to Give Away Daylillies?
Comments (5)If it is only going to be a day or two, trim the leaves (they will be easier to plant) and skip the water. They can rot in water especially if there are any cuts in the fans made while digging them. You can wrap the roots if you like. You can keep them in water quite awhile if you change it every other day or so to keep it fresh....See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
