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

Deb, the Mullein and Rock rose are yours.
Tina, the Barbados cherry and salvia are yours.

Tina_A, I'll put you down for a russian sage and the passion vine.

Dennis, got you down for Dwarf Blazing Star seed. Cam

Mindy,

Hi, I'd like some of your lady banks cuttings and white yarrow please. I can offer flowering quince and some coleus (to go with your Hostas).

Many thanks,

Kate
(MsGF)

Steadycam,

If you still have them available I'd like to try your Hybiscus mutabilis and Eastern Redbud, please. I have to double check their viability but I believe I have some Caladium bulbs to trade; I don't have cow patties but I do have rabbit and chicken manure.

Many thanks,

Kate
(MsGF)

Kate, If you have any more flowering Qunince, I'd like some of that. I know chicken manure is pretty powerful. It's easy to burn things with it. Is the rabbit manure any milder? I'll put you down for Hibiscus and Redbud.

Tina, I'll put you down for the MB sage and blanketflower. Not sure if the MB sage is rooted or will be rooted by the ru, but I'm trying!!

Just FYI everyone, we're seeing humming birds in Houston this week. Cam

I'm not sure what the potato vine is, although I think it is a blackie. Not sure how it happened, planted it under the very small oak tree and a piece of it volunteered itself into the bulb garden. Go figure, lol.

Someone was asking about winecups. I will just say I find them very difficult to propagate. I get one seedling every spring and usually try to root a few cuttings. Overall less than 1/4 of the cuttings root and survive. You might buy some seeds and try those.
C

That was me, Cheryl. I'll try the seeds then. Maybe I'll winter sow them!

Anyone having trouble pulling up the thread?...looks like I need to start part 2 with almost 300 posts.

Tina, I'd like to have your sweet potato vine volunteer. Please check my list to see what I can bring for you.

Stephanie it will be worth it! I have 3 large (one is massive) plants and last year it was in bloom for almost 3 months. It must have liked the weather last year. The little seedlings I have moved around have a tap root so keep that in mind when you sow or transplant them. The leaves, overall plant and flowers are beautiful. One of my favorites.
C

Steadycam,

Yes, rabbit manure is considered "cold", meaning it can be applied directly to plants/soil. You can also make a liquid fert. with it. I've actually been making liquid fert out of my chicken manure and my roses are LOVING it.

Kate

Josephine, can I get a white mistflower and a brazos penstemon or two?

Tina_a, can I have some coffee grounds?

I still have quite a bit of stuff left that I do not want to bring home with me. Please sign up for stuff if there is anything you would like!

I'm probably going to be adding some tomatoes and peppers to my haves list, so be watching!

Well Dennis since you put it that way, I would like the strawberry geranium and some Russian sage please. I've got one bag of coffee grounds that I'd be happy to put your name on.

Dennis, I'll take your other two germanders and the agastache, please. I have three different hosta divisions that I will bring for your dad: two are blue, and one, green.

Done! My list is getting shorter... :)

Dwfdennis,
I will bring you a bag of coffee grounds too.
Tina

Dennis 1 white mistflower and 2 brazos penstemon are yours.

Dennis I potted up another hosta for your Dad :)
Stephanie, I have two Byzantine gladiolas for you :)

Dennis, If you have a strawberry geranium left, I'll take one. Thanks, Cam

Thanks, everyone. Cam, I will check to see if there are any other strawberry geraniums that I can pot up.

Thank you, Dennis!

Woohoo! Thanks Catz!

OK, I am confused, do I deserve a whoohoo? If I had a winecup to give, maybe...LOL

I do have a snapdragon vine (seedling) and a couple more mex milkweed.

Ok everyone.......

Make sure you are signed up on the sign in thread please. Give me the number in your group too please.

I will be posting a food thread tomorrow and will come back here and link it also.

Only two weeks to go, so get those trades finalized!!

Josephine, I would like the Brazos Penstemon if it's not already spoken for. I haven't read all the posts, so I know someone might have already asked. Thanks, Syb

Thanks, Dennis.

Cheryl, you're not confused, but I was! Sorry to leave you confused. I'll give you a Woohoo anyway! LOL

O.K. Sybram, I gave you three penstemon.

Thanks Dennis, I will love some elderberry

Yaaay! Red Canna!
Thanks Lynea!

I also have some very tiny white dutara seedlings coming up if anyone wants one.
Tina
