Spring swap 2024

last month

Is it always me that starts the spring swap thread? I seem to have spring fever again! Any interest or volunteers to host?

We are a little feverish over here also. :-) Very interested in coming. We see the purple globe flowers we got at the last one are coming up along with many of our other swap plants. Always get the most hardy prolific plants there!

Hi Cat! Good to see you around here!

I don't have time to do anything about this right now, but a month or more ago arborwolf/Camille, in a private email to TreeBarb, was asking about a spring swap, and offered to host it at her house again this spring--where it was last spring!

If you have time maybe you could go to her "fall swap" post below and then go to her page and PM her if she still wants to host it--and that she could come post on your thread here to get it started if she still does!?!

I have my Spring Trip coming up in May, but if I'm on the right side of the mountains whenever it winds up being, I'll be there!

Gotta go,

Skybird

I'll try to take photos if I go to any of the Modernism Week events, but the Kaufmann house garden tour (which I won't be able to do) does not allow cameras for some reason. I did know that Kaufmann had also commissioned FLW to build Fallingwater. The Neutra house in Palm Springs was designed as a winter residence only, I believe, and so it was renovated by subsequent owners to make it habitable all year. Fortunately, the latest owners have restore it to Neutra's designs, as much as possible, while keeping habitable all year. I've been spending a fair amount of my time here in the summer, and I have found it very livable, since I have a pool - otherwise I would not consider it. My sister is arriving this afternoon and will stay with us for five days. I was thinking of taking her on a drive-by tour of the Kaufmann house, and also of Bob Hope's house, designed by John Lautner, another architect that I especially like. Bob Hope's wife Delores did not like Lautner's design, and she forced him to make some unfortunate changes in the design. The first change was to make the roof wood instead of concrete, but that roof burned (for two days), and so they ended up with a concrete roof anyway. Our roof here is made of concrete tiles, and I have not seen any wooden roofs in this area at all.

I second @showa_omori inputs about Wild Edric. I have got it from TCL in 2020 as a freebie and it had only one thin stick. It's super thorny and lime green leaves has sharp thorns at the back. The plant is vigorous (5 * 5 easy). I wanted to get rid of it as I could not handle the thorns but still here. I'm finding it really hard to remove as usual. Here is the bush shot taken last august. Note: The total fence height is over 6ft. The pink flowers on the right is Fragrant Alizee. On the BBC garden forum, someone has praised the benefits of Empathy rose liquid feed. they've witnessed so many basal growths after the root drench . Please may I know how often you've used and how much? Many thanks in advance.

Pruning off dead wood won't hurt them regardless of the temperature. Most roses can handle dips into the 20's without trouble anyway. Go ahead and prune is my advice. Cynthia

Spring 2024 Plant Swap - May 11 - Who Can Come?
Q

I would love to get some strawberries as well, mmmm12! Is anyone interested in a wooden pyramidal strawberry planter (looks roughly like this one)? I bought it from a guy off Craigslist a few years ago and it just hasn't worked well for me... it seems to lose some soil from the corners when watering and I don't really have a great spot where I can access all the sides, so I usually end up just planting one side. I think if you got some roots in there to hold the soil in place it would probably work pretty well. If someone wants it, I'll bring it. (I'm also planning to bring my seed collection and some anise hyssop plants.)

Sorry Catnohat,

I just posted an offering to have the spring swap. Didn't see this email. LLGarden, I see you have offered to host also. Whoever hosts is fine with us. We just want to be at another swap! :-)

For some reason, this discussion thread is not posting to this site. I've tried twice. See above email.

2024 Spring Swap What do you Think?

Good morning, Team,

Lucy and I (Camille - Arbor Wolf) would be honored to host the spring swap for 2024 in Berthoud at Lucy's farm. The fall swap was cancelled. We asked about hosting the swap in January but were encouraged to post it mid-March.

We are available to host the following dates: Saturday May 11 (Mother's Day weekend) or Saturday June 1, 2024.

We love these swaps and learn so much from all the wonderful gardeners who attend.

If you are interested in one of these dates and the location, let us know.

Thanks.

Either date is okay but June 1st is a tad late to swap annual plants. I'd prefer May 11th.
