Dividing Perennials

Good news and bad news:

Only a tiny bit of bad news, and that is that I didn't get the orders sent out for Sue_Wa and Pardancanda today; but they are almost ready to go out tomorrow morning.

I didn't send Datdog's today, didn't have her address until just now. Kathleen, I will wait until you are ready before I send yours -- just let me know sweetie :)

All the rest were sent!!!! I will e-mail everyone directly tomorrow to let y'all know what the postage is: I just got back from a 3 hour volunteer meeting (some volunteers! LOL) and am way too exhausted to do it now.

Since I had so many to do, I didn't get the chance to groom them quite as much as I would have liked, but pretty much they are all ready to go straight into the ground, or into pots unless your soil is still frozen. The ones that still need a little work, I will send instructions in the e-mail confirmations. Only a couple of Coral Bells may need attention from their new guardians :)

Whew! Next up will be my shady perennials. Not sure when or how many I will have, but I will keep everyone informed. And as I have said, last year I just threw the extras away in the spring clean-up :( So y'all are doing my conscience a big favor! I do hate to kill plants.

Oh Boy...am I excited....I can't wait! Thank you so much for doing this!

O goodie!!!! I can't wait!! I'll send my postage soon as I hear from you. Thanks sooo much for doing this!! My garden will love you for it!

Please please let me know about your shade perennials too, I would LOVE to get some shade plants from you. I'd hate to know they are being thrown away! I'd gladly send you postage for any of them. Please let me know.

Thanks lupinelover! It's always exciting waiting for plants to arrive. I'll watch for your email and send reimbursement asap.

We sure do appreciate all your hard work Lupi, just look at all us happy folks!

Thanks again, Vi

Kathy you are such a sweetie, I can hardly wait for the plants to arrive.
Ruth

Whew! I think I sent confirmations to everyone; if I missed you (except Kathleen) jump up and yell at me LOL If I neglected to send anyone who needs it my address, whoops! Again, jump up and yell!

John, Sue, Datdog, I sent your packages this morning. They should arrive Thursday or Friday (maybe for WA).

Now to start work on dividing my shade-garden perennials! Next week probably, right now they are mostly under water. I think I will post in that Forum when the time comes. Keep your eyes peeled ;D

Hehehe, does this mean that I can't yell at you????????

My postage is ready to go out in tomorrows mail.
Thanks!!!

Did you miss me? I didn't recieve an email today.

Same here,did I make the list?

Kathy Thank you so much I came in tonight and had a box waiting wow that got here quick. I love them all thanks so much. Money off to you in the morning. ((hugs))

Branka, Root, did you get your e-mails yet? I know I sent them, I didn't get a failure message back. I will check in on this again later (after Chat :) Will you be there Root?

Mystic, ((((((( hugs ))))))) I am glad they got there so fast! But you do live close, you know :) Close enough to maybe meet somewhere this summer??? We will keep hoping!

No, it didn't come yet. It could me MSN acting up, that happens sometimes. I am set up so that emails from DG members should get through.

Hugs, Tina

Me too on the shade plants!

Hugs
Donna

Branka you have mail. Both addresses (I hope!)

Thanks again Kathy!!

My pleasure :) I am glad they arrived safely. (((( Molly ))))

Now to quietly borrow your water gun... *evil grin*

tis my pleasure lupine, o and I can lend you my 3 boys to hide behind the bushes with the water balloons :)

(((((Kathy))))

Thank you soooooo much. Now to get a package going back your way. I have some Cimicifuga that is coming up; are you SURE you want privet (it's a nasty invasive down here, but I'm sure I can find some seedlings near the spots where we've tried to eradicate it, lolol!

{{{Another hug for you, Kathy}}} My box came today and I got my email in yahoo too! You'll have another box coming your way just as soon as weather allows. Thanks a bunch!

Terry, I am so glad they arrived :) I am so bad: I haven't updated my plant tradelists for many months. I kept meaning to, but you know about my computer fast in Feb/March put me way behind...

I would ADORE cimcifuga -- especially if it is a species that blooms in the early summer -- they keep changing the species names, so I don't know which ones to specify -- they are impossible to obtain for me -- everytime I have ordered one via mail order it turns out to be the one that blooms in the late summer. My summer droughts prevent most of them from blooming. So disappointing! I love the smell of these!

I don't need any more privet (I don't think so, anyway). The privet was to pass along to our substitute mailwoman. She is a fellow garden-lover, and she asked me what is that shrub that smells so good in late spring? Not my shrub, but a neighbor's privet hedge. I got many privets from a friend in GA, and gave them to that fellow gardener :)

Almost any shade-loving perennial would be very welcome, especially (if you have it) peacock club moss. I think it is hardy for you; I want it for an indoor fairy garden for a girl scout leader friend. Her daughter's pack is making them in May, and she really wants it. Some of my odd requests are for fellow garden friends. Not that I don't keep a sample myself of some wonderful things :)

Branka, you have mail again (I hope!)

Got my box too! Kathy, you sure did a great Job, thanks so much! Sure you don't want some of that Wild Geranium seed?
It's not invasive when it reseeds.

You Sweetheart,mine snuck right up on me!!I was in the backyard when the mailman poked his head around back looking for me,Happy to say they went right from the box to the soil,and they looked very happy!!!
Thank you very much!I can't wait to show them off to all when they bloom!

Lupie Dahlin...you have email.

Love, Lavanda

Kathy! Just got my box. I'm tickled pink. Thank you for such a lovely package. I have LOTS of shade lovers that you might be interested in. As soon as were all up, I'll drop you a email and see what you'd like to have.
ALSO- I think 99.9% postivie I already sent my postage. IN THE CASE that you don't get it by the weekend. PLEASE let me know. I'll resend back to you. THANKS A MILLION....
((hugs))
Kristi

(((( Bob )))) and (((( Kristi )))) Thanks for letting me know. Didn't know I could sneak around that well, Root. LOL

I am so glad they arrived looking good. As I said, I wish that I had taken a little more time grooming them before I sent them off, but with so many... I was afraid of them being delayed over the weekend if I didn't get them out Monday or Tuesday.

Woops...I didn't know we were supposed to post here. I posted over in mail call. I already have your money and a plant in the mail back to you Kathy....Thanks again....hugs...

Mine were perfect!!!I was sitting in the yard,sat and figured out where they were going as I gave them a little haircut,dropped them in and watered,there was only one problem with your shipping!after I got them watered in,I was sitting and reading the comics you sent,The crossword was complete,next time at least leave me one word to figure out,LOL!
Am I the only one that likes to read the paper that my plants come in?

Oh Doc, if yer that bored, please come down to Georgia, I'll find sumthin fer u ta do!

Root, next time I will send you an un-completed double-crostic ;D

I also love to read the papers that others send with plants. Nosy? Or just like to learn? You be the judge ;D

Vic, ((((( hugs ))))) I am so glad they arrived safely!!!! Post anywhere you please: I am so glad everything is arriving safe and sound. Only need confirmations from the two of the three that were sent on Tuesday...

And one more to send out next Monday or Tuesday.

Lavanda, you have mail :)

I do, too, Root. Inquiring minds want to know!

I always read the papers that come in the plants..funny how some are very old papers and some are just like that days paper the day it was package up. I like reading the sale papers that come too, and compare prices!

LOL,Lupes were 1999 Newyears eve.what a treat to look back to kinder times!

THANK YOU, lupinelover, for the wonderful package which arrived yesterday afternoon, and in excellent condition. I am very happy with the healthy and vigorous plants you sent, and look forward to growing them.
