2011 NORTH CENTRAL TX RU **MAY 1ST** (TRADE LISTS)

Newton, I don't have lady in red but I do have Salvia Sangria & Scarlet Sage, if you're interested.

Sheila, I feel like I'm robing you blind but I could really use some of those plant markers (pretty please) :)

Kate

Cheryl, I still have some 'Lady in Red' salvias. How many would you like?

Pat, 2 or 3, if you have that many.
C

I'll put you down for three, Cheryl.

Thanks Pat, I usually get some volunteers but can't find any this spring.
C

Definately Kate, plant tags for you.

Kate, what's the difference between your 2 sages?

Here's some info on the scarlet sage: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/wildseed/36/36.4.html

And salvia sangria: http://varieties.takii.com/pdf/takii_64.pdf

Pat is there any ghost plant still available and what conditions do you grow it, sun, shade or part sun?
C

Cheryl, I have another pot of ghost plant ready to go. I grow it in sun and have never tried it in shade, but I am guessing it would be find with partial sun as well. Do you have any Rudbeckias left? If you do, I'd like to have one of each.

I didn't pot any up but I can. I will bring one of each.
C

DnP, sure -- I just need to make sure they survived last night's wind!

Thanks, Cheryl. Would you like for me to put your name on the ghost plant?

pat, I have your ghost plant from the fall RU. I bought it in for the winter. Do you keep it in a pot?

My ghost plant is in a big pot which I keep in the greenhouse during the winter. Some sources say it is hardy to zone 7b, but others say zone 9. It is recommended for ground cover in non-traffic areas with well drained soil. My landscaping is just not to the point of being able to try that yet.

I have been eyeing the ghost plant on yucca do and was hoping u might say it was hardy. I guess I will be trying some in a pot and some in the ground. Most succulents I try don't do well in the TX heat so I am hoping this one doesn't mind it as much.
C

I added a few bell peppers to my list.

Did someone have Coralberry? If so, I'd like one or two.

Stephanie, I'd love to have one of each:
Red Nose Bell
Orange Bell
Golden Bell
Chocolate Bell

Gotcha down! They're still small, but will grow quickly.

I'm still trying to sprout peppers, and some seeds were obviously too old. Thank you,! We'll enjoy the colored bell peppers so much.

These are all heirlooms, so you'll be able to save all the seeds you want!

Does anyone have any Columbine or Hosta left? I'm redoing a friend's garden for her, but I'm doing it on a super tight budget.

Many thanks in advance

Kate

Dennis,

I just realized I'm getting a whole bunch of plants from you and all I'm giving you is a bag of coffee grounds. Can I possibly interest you in some bunny or chicken poo? Do you need any pots, anything?

Er, and I feel like I'm being super greedy here, but seeing as I know how much you don't want to take the plants you bring home with you (if they aren't spoken for) I'd love to take the moss phlox off you hands (one for me and one for a friend). If someone else asks for them though, please give the plants to them instead)

Kate

Sheila, do you have any of the Passion Vine evergreen ‘blue crown’ left?

Yes Glenna...will bring you some. Do you still have shasta daisy?

Yes, Sheila. I have 2 Shasta Daisy "Becky" left.

Wonderful Glenna. I think most of what I had got too old and covered up with my cramming.

Great, Sheila. Two Shasta Becky daisies for you. Thanks.

Dale could I have a pitcher sage? I don't have much left to trade but look at my list and maybe I can dig something up for you.
Cheryl

Dale, I could really use a Pitcher sage if you have any left.
