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

I will be your coralberry back up Dennis!

I am probably empty handed as well. I do have a good number of zexmenia that can be potted up if anyone is interested.
Cheryl

My posts will be up late, if I have any. Reserving this area.

Zexmenia for me, please Cheryl, I love those guys and it doesn't self seed for me very much at all.
I promise to have something special for you.
Josephine.

Love to have a couple of those Cheryl....will get my list soon..I promise.

Oh dear, I thought I should wait LOL. I will pot some up, it pops up all over in my yard.

Cheryl, please pot up a couple of zexmenia for me too. I hope you can find something on my list that you can use. I'm still adding each day.

If Cheryl runs out, I have 1 or 2 that I can pot up.

I have a lot, some were seedlings last year and I just left them. I will put out a number when I pot them next weekend.
C

updated my list :)

I just saw two little volunteer strawberry bush euonymus that I will pot up later. Any takers?

Whoa! Already that time -- seems we just got together for the fall round-up. I so want to come, but have nothing to trade, still on the beginning stages of my gardening. Though I'm sure I won't need all 60 tomato plants I have up -- which need to get in the ground. Still afraid it will freeze before Easter.

Catzgalore --- if all of your 3' zebra grass isn't requested, I'l love another. Mine from the fall RU doesn't appear to be greening up. We had another wicked winter (considering this is TX) and no rain this year yet! Okay I lied, we had .05" last Tuesday.

I'm sure my dad has some iris and some perrenial lanatana he'd love me to thin out. Interested in those?

What color is the lantana?

I think I lost all my lantanas this winter. I'd love to have some of any or all colors.

lantana is yellow/orange -- the orginal, oldie but goodie. Wish I liked it, but I am partial to pinks.

Hi Greta :) I would be happy to share some of the 3' Zebra Grass with you. Don't get to discouraged on the other one yet. Mine are just starting to show a few green sprigs.

What color are the Iris?

Dennis ~ Could I get one Tx Gold Columbine please?

Patrob ~ Could I please get one bearded irises, heirloom dark purple median and one mixed group of bearded irises (tags totally gone so may be light peach tall, bright lavender median, brown-bronze median, near black tall, ‘Cozy Calico please?

Greta, you know you can come empty handed and leave with a trunk full of stuff!

I have you down for irises, catz.

The irises I am digging now have been in a "temporary" bed for about ten years. Time is going faster as I grow older. I am taking out brush with my little tractor, and their bed is going. There are a lot more irises that need good homes!

Thank you :)

Stephanie,

I'm trying to coax my neighbor into coming and I know he's looking for Pink Skullcap. If you have any left could you set some aside for him, please?

Thanks,

Kate

Patrob, could I please have some mexican mint marigold as well?

Thanks!

Kate

P.S. I lost all but one of my coleuses when the heat in the greenhouse got cut by the power outages -- so we're starting with baby coleus this spring :)

Sure, Kate! If he doesn't come, you can take it home to him!

cartzgalore -- iris color, good question, if my memory serves me correctly, they are light purple and this weird bronze (?) color, maybe a mix from purple and yellow??? I've never cared for it. But, I bet they will all bloom before May 1st and I could figure it out.

And Steph, I know coming empty handed is okay, just seems wrong in my book. . .( I'll work on it!)

I'll put you down for Mexican mint marigolds, Kate. They have self seeded for several years, and I really need to clear the island bed they are growing in. The nasty cold in February did not do them in like I thought it might. Don't worry about coleuses for me since yours are babies. If you have cuttings in the fall, I'll ask for some then.

Thank you Greta. Could I please get a couple of them from you?

Catz, I have you down for the columbine. Could I get a hosta?

Thank you Dennis. I'll put you down for a hosta. I need to take a pic on upload it so y'all can see what it looks like. I don't know an ID but I love it. It's my first hosta to pop up every year, and spreads fast.

Steph, I'd love the Golden Girl Daylily and mealy blue sage, if they haven't found a home.

Patrob, You have so much to give -- please, if possible, put my name on little bluestem grass, 'Lady in Red' salvia, and Saswanso daylily.

Thanks ever so much!

I'll put your name on them!

Here is the NOID hosta

Here is the NOID variegated aloeish thing pup

I'll put your name on some of all, Greta. I'm glad some of my extra plants are finding homes! If you have enough of the yellow-orange lantana, I'd love to have some.

Patrob, they are babies but I have HUNDREDS of them -- so you're expecting :)

Hey Kate, I'll take some coleus. They work well in my front planters.

Thanks, Kate. I was assuming you meant coleus babies from the nursery that would not really be big enough to take cuttings from. I did not want you to murder new plants to give me cuttings!

catz, I'd like to have one of your beautiful NOID hostas and a "variegated aloeish thing pup."

Sure thing Steph

I'll put you down for both patrob :)

Thank you, catz.
