Hey guys! Apr 27 is only 3 wks away. Anyone want to swap something?
Spring Central Tx RU April 27 Trade List
It has been a CRAZY month. My laptop came to an unfortunate end, and so I had to get a new one and lost sooooo much stuff. :( School has kept me busy (I have an exam due tomorrow and two exams on Monday EEK!) and then DH found out yesterday that his company is sending us on an all expenses paid trip to Zambia...!!!!
So what are the rules for bringing back seed from other continents????
Call the airlines, chuckl
Anything under 3 Oz should work, right? right? chuckle.
HIDE THEM WELL!
Pack lollipops for the kids, gently used tee shirts of all sizes, and lots of dollar bills for your trip to Zambia...
And, bring me back a yard of colorful, woven fabric, any design. I'll reimburse you for it!
Linda
Oh, I would love some bright fabric too, if you get the chance to pick some up. What an exciting trip! What does your hubby do, to bring him there?
LK Hopefully I'll get in to town or at least have some time to travel while we wait at the airport! I will be glad to bring some if I can get it!
He works for a software company in technical sales. He's been there for about a year and half now. Long enough, it seems! :)
Carey, airlines don't have a problem with seeds but customs might. You could see about mailing them home, or go to the US customs website and check to see what isn't allowed. Sometimes strange things are allowed and others aren't.
How cool to take that trip. Take a pocket camera at least and a couple memory cards. And take lots of pics!
I apologize for being AWOL but I have done some serious damage to my shoulder and have been dealing with the farm using one arm. Go this morning to the orthopedist to find out the results of my MRI last week.
I have potted up some of the seeds from the vine I got last year in Burleson that no one claims to have given me. It has beautiful pale pink flowers, reminds me of maybe a snapdragon vine but has seed pods that are two to three feet long. Really cool plant. I also have some other things that I will try and get posted this afternoon.
I also have a bunch of Cowpen daisies volunteering that I am going to pot up if anyone wants them
Marty,
I would love some of your irises, they are my long time love. Also Turks cap and camphor laurel please.
Kittriana, prostrate rosemary, oregano and some evening primrose seeds please.
Sure hope it is nothing serious for your shoulder.
Yes, Joy. Let us know about your shoulder. Hope it can be easily fixed, whatever it is. Oh and I will put you down for the things you requested.
I go in next Tuesday for arthroscopic surgery to repair, get this, superior labrum, rotator cuff, and a longitudinal biceps tear. That's me, going the extra mile even with an injury.
How did you do that? I want to make sure I never do that move, whatever it was. Seriously, I hope everything goes well and you're back on your feet soon. I dont think you'll be using that shoulder much for quite a while though. I'd volunteer to do the RU for you but I live on a postage stamp in the city. Maybe a couple of us could come down on Friday to give you a hand (or a shoulder I should say). Let us know if you need help or need to cancel the RU or reschedule it. we're all pretty flexible.
Joy! You're supposed to let the sheep to SOME of the pushing! Yikes!!!! Is that vine maybe your Butterfly Pea? Didn't you pick one up in Brenham? (and I lost my Westerland. Phooey. That spot is cursed) I will be bringing you some more Caldwell Pink cuttings.
In fact, anyone need any Caldwell Pink rose cuttings? It needs to be trimmed back pretty badly so I have plenty to share!
I can also dig up six billion four-nerve daisies, mexican hats and maybe some prairie verbena. Can also get lots and lots of seeds from the native monarda (catmint - Monarda citriodara)
k, droppin off at Joys:
to; Joy 2 types oregano, prostate rosemary,
to; GFWaco a bag of herb/veggies seeds
to; Steadycam vinca variegated starts,
a bag of a pink coral vine seeds, common evening primrose seeds, starts of several other things, ie; La iris Gamecock-needs home, tangerine bulbine, asparagus fern needs help badly, a loquat baby if I can filch from daughter, 1 start bee balm monarda, and a few red agave seeds.
I can't find anything to make envelopes out of around here, and cant get to shop on short time off, chuckl.
Kat
OUCH! Sounds like you're going to be in an arm sling for a bit, with no use of that arm! Please listen to the Dr.
I have a few bougainvillea plants, none are blooming right now, but as time gets closer, I can list colors I hope.
I am looking for any vining plant, morning glories, coral vine, sweet peas... Also looking for a butterfly weed plant.
Would love to have from steadycam...
lantana
Hyacinth bean vine
duranta with yellow/chartreuse foliage
Brunfelsia
firespike and brug cuttings
I have a BUNCH of veggie seeds. Not sure how viable they are, but I'm sure there's still some life in them. You could do an EZ paper towel germination test...
I'll list them all tomorrow.
Kitt
If you send me your mailing addy in a dmail, I have beau coup of those little ziplok jewelry baggies for seeds. I could send you a bunch.
Linda
LK, I have a great vining flower for you as we'll as some hyacinth bean vine seeds if Marty doesn't have any. I am not looking forward to six weeks of complete immobility, I have a bunch of stuff to get in the ground, sigh.
Carey, I would like to try the four nerve daisies please. And I think a couple of the antique cuttings have rooted.
Joy
Joy? I Found this picture from last year of that tall oregano blooming, pic shows white but I remember pink blooms. The wild coral vines might be more invasive than the ones propagated for sell? maybe?
Jay, that would be great, thanks. Are you sure you are up to the round up after your surgery?
Yeah, Joy.
If you are not up to hosting, we can reschedule. Everyone will understand.
Hey everyone, we can now add an avatar picture with our posting. Click on your name from a previous post, go to the bottom where it says picture. Click on that, then scroll down to where it says add avatar.
Joy, I'll be happy to bring you several thousand four nerves. My back yard is yellow with blooms!
Also looks like I can maybe dig up a few of the large white rain lilies or at least bring seeds (yay rain!) Also can dig up some mexican hats which are just started to push out blooms.
(Marty? interested?
There are also random other wildflowers finally starting to crop up in the yard. Joy if you'd like, I can also bring you cuttings of 'Spice', another found China rose. :)
Kittriana, I would love one or two of your white iris. They'd look so pretty with the purples that I have now.
And if it's easier to reschedule with your arm, please do!! Your place is lovely no matter what time of year.
Isnt Kitt with white iris, and I have dropped at Joy's all I have until nex RU. Careyana why do you never send pix? We like visuals...
Smockette, can you save a couple of the blue bottles please?
Because I'm terrible with pictures and never take any! :) What kind of pictures would you like to see? I don't have many on my computer but I could take a few this afternoon when the rain clears up!
and goodness, I can't read either. I could give the unclaimed iris a home? I love low-maintenance plants (which is why I'm not sure I keep buying orchids).
Trish-if you have any white iris left, I'd love a couple!
I'm not finding where to upload the avatar. What am I doing wrong?
snort, I like her, gonna change mine when I figure out what I wanna be when I grow young...
LOL!
Careyana, how abt your back yard? We get to see where you can put in more iris... I do have yellow butterfly iris, a few, may have some for later in season if you think you want them, they aren't as showy to some folks as traditional flags...
It will be almost two weeks post op so I will be going stir crazy. I would rather have friends over rather than sitting around twiddling my thumbs.
Joy
You need TWO hands to twiddle your thumbs...LOL!
Hahahahahahahahahaha
I just LOVE your Avatar!
Oh dear, I got new camera equipment shipped in today and took pictures. Unfortunately the only one I have of the backyard has a dog pooping in it! I'm not sure you want to see that!!!
Thanks, Jam has been a pot thief since hewas a fuzz ball. It has been a source of amusement and anger for me.
Happy Birthday Smockette! Hope you have a great day!
I second the Happy! Carey keep shooting - the dog will move sooner or later.
Kitt, I have looked and looked at your avatar and I still dont see what it is. Can you or someone clue me in?

There is a very old cold kitty on top of a pile of blankets - she has a gold heart in the middle of her forehead. I am studying on a new one since thesnapshot avatars are so fuzzy, just not where I can capture the one I created on yahoo so long ago.
