Go after the tree guys! They owe you for damages.
ETRU TRADE THREAD Oct 23,2010
they are removing the trees for free it is not costing anything to have them come and remove them
It is not right, that they should destroy your garden in the process.
How sad, that some people don't care, that just isin't right.
I am sorry that you are having this problem, Bless you.
They are making a profit with the trees or they would not be removing them. They have no right to damage your property without your permission. Of course, I am thinking logically, not legally.
Sorry for all of that mess you are going through. I guess free is not always free. Hope it is over for you soon.
I have some Red Rocket seedlings but they are small.
Kenboy
Red rocket? Is that a larkspur?
Jameso
Phyllis,
I have 5-6' Natchez. I can bring you a couple so you can at least have some harmony & blooms again soon.
I also have Pampas grass, I can bring you! & crinum bulbs that are sprouting! Want some Red Cascade roses?
Just LMK!!!
:~)
Red Rocket is a Crape Myrtle.
Kenboy
Thanks for the info.
Jameso
Phyllis, Smock has a bunch of white crapes, if you want them. Just let us know & he will dig them up. He has a momma tree that has the beautiful bark that peels & is red underneath. He has so many that he just mows the babies over.
LMK
Cinnamon Crapes.
Oh thank you so much for your loving words it means alot to me.
I would love to have some of everything you all are offering Ken and Smokette.
DH did take the time to help me find the few bulbs I could find and he cleaned off the landscape are that didn't get busted up but was covered with pine branches and even moved some of the big pieces on the garden area so they don't mess up where the lavender is.
I just hope they get back here monday and finish getting the big mess cleaned up.
Hello again, I am in need of Qt. size round pots. I find these work real well for taking mid size Brug cuttings and Costus Ginger cuttings.
Does anyone know if Karen (darkmoondreamer) is coming to this RU? I have water plants that I promised her but was unable to bring in the spring. I can't make this RU, but I do have someone who is willing to take them if Karen is going to be there.
Kenboy, please put my name on that flat of gingers. I have seen that same pix on 2 RU threads & I WANT IT!!! LOL
I will find enough qts to replace what are in the flat & maybe more!!!
pbtxlady, I will be @ NTRU & could also take them to Karen if she is going to ETRU for you.
LMK
pbtxlady,
The last time I talked to her, she had plans to come. no worries though, if she doesn't make it I will drop them off at her house. Tina
okay, I will plan to get them to you in Arlington. I'm trying to figure out if that's even feasible--since they are water plants. I'll have to figure out how to fix them up so you can keep them for 2 weeks without too much trouble. Maybe Smockette won't mind helping. Thanks for offering, Linda.
I will be at the RU, thanks Linda and Tina! Patty, was that you that gave me the Hillary's sweet lemon mint in the Spring? I lost it at the end of summer and would love to have a tiny sprig if you still have some...
Karen, was I supposed to send garlic for you?
Karen...that was me that brought the Hilary's Sweet Lemon Mint. It isn't as strong grower as most mints....sorry. I am going to send on by Ken Boy, Smockette or Tina for you.
Sheila
Thank you Sheila! Can the Hilary's sweet lemon live in the ground once established or do I need to keep it in a pot year round? It did well in the ground all summer before I lost it, but I didn't know if it would winter in the ground. I really loved it! Josephine, no thank you, you gave me garlic at the Spring RU...
Mine is in the ground for about 6 yrs now so I can say it will do fine once established. I tried it in a pot once and that died.
Karen, I don't think I had you down for anything except water plants, so if you got anything from me, it was just an extra I brought. Maybe a canna? Anyway, I have your water plants ready, and they are twice the size they were in May.
Can anyone reading this thread give me an answer? All of the seed companies said to plant wildflower seeds in the fall. What fall month is the best?
Jameso
I would say late October and through November. Early fall in Texas can be rather warm and might cause the seeds not requiring a chilling period to sprout. If that happens those little plants would likely be killed by frost.
Planting later would keep that from happening, until Spring when it would be safer, while at the same time giving the ones that need the cold treatment a chance to sprout at their proper time.
Thanks Josephine
I'm planting seeds for our Northeast Texas Native Plant Society's spring sale. Once they sprout I plan on putting them in my greenhouse, so freezes and plants don't kill them and hopefully they will be bigger seedlings in the spring. I guess for some of the east Texas natives the frost wouldn't bother them. Let me know if my logic is flawed.
James H
Your logic is very logical James.
Time is drawing closer please make sure to drop by the main thread and post how many are coming wtih you and we can do potluck listing there too
Well, I'm in Dallas & my dad came thru his surgery just fine. Now, if he can get over the soreness, I think he will be fine for many more yrs. He is only 84!!!
Kenboy, I didn't bring your Loropet or the pots to NTRU (but have the other plants) b/c I ran out of space in my CRV with my cats, kittylitter box, etc, but will be bring them to ETRU, for sure. We will be in Smock's truck, not that it holds more than my CRV but he likes to drive & drive his truck!!! lol
As soon as tomorrow is over, this thread will be getting long like the ones on NTRU!!!
:~)
I have posted my haves but for those who know us, we have many more plants and will try to fix you up. See you soon.
OK all my items to be traded will be more Chili seeds, as well as some herb and flower seeds.
Michael, you left two pots of yellow milkweed from Anna that were meant for you at the swap, I took them so as not to leave them behind, what would you like to do?
Ken,
Can I have some more crape myrtles? Plus i would love to have some Pink China and Chicago Harlequin.
Mibus
Can I get the Lion's Tail from you? I can bring some rosemary cuttings for you.
Tina
