A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 SPRING PLANT/CUTTING EXCHANGE

I'm Hosting a spring plant/cutting exchange.This is 2 seperate exchanges.You can be in both(please send lists seperately if are in both...for my sanity .And everyone should do delivery confirmation slips.Its so much easier when can track and is only .50

I'm looking forward to this.I enjoyed the last one I was in.

Ok how is this working? Do we send cuttings to you? Or do you match wants with haves?

No.you send them to the persons name I give you.I'll do best to match wants/haves.A person gardening a long time might be easier to have large choice from VS one who's only gardened a short time.Those of us further south may have stuff ready now where someone up north in the snow belt may have hard ground still.If I still lived in Indpls....I'd need a pick axe& hammer to get a plant out for tradeing right now,but would be easier end of May.It can be more than 3 plants.I just set a minumum.

I'm looking forward to this.I hosted a butterfly hummer plant exchange a few years ago on another forum.I even had someone scare me...they put those plastic bug rings from halloween in the box.even on a few of the plants..lol bought choked on my beer too.

I would like to join the swap.
I have day lilies, iris and hostas to exchange; however, I do not know the colors of any. Because of my dog, children and chickens, all labels were scrambled last year.

Ducks are good bug eaters...bet chickens are too.I get them dog issues too.sometimes they play fetch with my plants....after removing from pot.


Thats ok about tags.I got daylillys and know color but not name

Okay, one final question, just so I have EVERYTHING clear
I assume by whole plant, you mean a division, and a cutting would be, just that, a cutting off of a plant. Right? Let me know if I have it right or completely wrong!
Thanks,
Jacquie

Hmmmm Njoynit I posted once I'd like to join this too BUT I don't know where the post flew off too

Okay what I have for cuttings are..

Devils backbone
Firestick cactus
donkey tail spurge
and a couple of other heat drought tolerant euphorbia, and succulents

Are these okay for the exchange??

yes cuttings are a cutting off a plant.Some plants are easier to root than others so some may want their cuttings rooted already is why I asked if someone wants a preferance.

Dianne...all those are great for exchange.

Hi Njoynit,

Think i won't be able to join, because i'm in Holland (Europe) or there must be others Gardenhelper-members in Europe?
Otherwise i'd love to participate!

Pauline If someone joins and is from your area then you can join.I know are a few others from your side,just have to get um over here.

Njoynit Is this still going on?? I'm still interested!!

Seems we have only 2.I guess everyones busy with spring & a possible across the waters.I wonder if 1 month would make a differance.I know my friend Pam in WI is still wearing 5 layers most days.By then I'll have more to offer.
