My want list- for those who asked :)

For those of you who have asked for a want list from Dave and I, here is my list. It comes almost entirely from the deer resistant plant lists that we have been able to find.
I'm sure that there may be many things that are deer resistant that aren't found on this list, but I'm just not aware of them.

There were painfully few plants that we were able to bring with us :( It is quite difficult to move plants 1700 miles away in winter time.

Thanks to all of the people that have emailed me asking for a list. DG's generosity never fails to amaze me!

Ageratum
Begonia (Begonia spp.)
Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
Blackfoot Daisy (Melampodium lecanthum)

Any herb or Texas wildflower would be wonderful as well!

I'm sure Dave would also enjoy any hardy succulents, as he'll be building a tropical garden as well as a succulent and cacti garden very soon. Thanks to all those who have already sent him Brug seeds!

We'd welcome anything that is not on this list...however, know that it could quickly become deer food.

Here's our addy:

Trish, I have some things on your list that I will send.
thanks for including your address.
Happy gardening, I have a feeling that you will be swamped with plants. I will start digging stuff up over the weekend.

These are the plants on your list that I have:
black eyed susan
foxglove
purple cone flower
yarrow
helleborous
and
ornamental grasses

I also have a succulant that I was going to send Dave, for the life of me, I cant think of it's name, but he'll remember it when he sees it.

I have some things too. will try to get something out this coming week.

Trish, watch for the postman.

"eyes"

I understand that deer will not eat Castor bean plants. I don't have any seeds to send now, but maybe someone else does.

Thanks, Aimee - we have plenty of Castor Bean seeds (in fact, just today I saw a few that I had sown had germinated in the garden - woo hoo! The garden begins...)

dave

(Azalea)

And I thought this was going to be a baby shower list of things you wanted ~ shucks!

Sorry Azalea - my mistake! (and I can't even make the excuse that it happened too early in the morning!)

dave

hehehe, if Dave had been quick-thinking, he would have started the "baby wants...SUCCULENTS!" wish list ;o)

LOL!

Baby shower???

yep!!! And you can bet once we find out what the baby is, there will be a great big one!!

*blush*!

You guys know I would have NEVER asked for such a thing!!!

Trish

I have some cast iron plant that I can send, but my world is going to have to slow down some before I can send it. I'm in IL right now, just got back from OK the other day and will drive back to AL Sat/Sun with both girls. :) I'll give you a holler when I'll be able to send it - and find out how much you're hoping to get.

I am happy to finally see this list! I told you I have you covered on the lamb's ears. I also can send black eyed susies and then seeds for some of your other wants. :) If it isn't too cold this weekend, I will try to get on that.

It might be good if you started an "already have" list.

Trish, I just packaged up your plants, and as I was walking to the puter, I realized that I had forgotten the grass and yarrow....egads!!! I will send it to you when I get back from Turkey!
please note: be very careful when you open it, you will find something wrapped in the most unconventional manner...it is simply hysterical! hope it gets there intact!

cheers and happy gardening

Hey Trish, I am curious to know what you no longer need and what if anything you need more of or still want?? I am planning to get your box out this week, barring any more illness fun at my house! :( Oh, and how many acres of lambs ears do you want? giggle
Hope you are healthy and well. Big hugs. :)

yes, is there anything you have too much of or just the right amount and don't need more?

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to get back to you.

Dave and I have been thinking of deer fencing our back yard. Currently with several of you contibuting, the back is nicely filled out with plants!!! Thank you so much!

The other news is that Dave and I have decided to deer fence the back yard (about an acre). When that happens, we won't be restricted to only deer-resistant plants. (whooo- hoooo- I'm already drooling.) The front will be the place for all of the deer plants. I'm hoping we'll start on it very soon.

Here are the couple of things I don't need anymore:
zinnia
blue bonnets
cosmos
mums
Autumn Joy Sedum

Hugs,
Trish
