maineroses,
According to PF, turmeric is hardy to zone 7b only http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/60081/index.html.
Would you grow it as annual? In case LeBug does not have red flax, I do. For health reasons, would red do,
or is it the blue one that you need? If a present can be delayed till next spring, I can root Lavender Munstead
for you (have Munstead and Hidcote).
Santa,
I did my best. I have a 8'x8' compost pile ,and my recycle bin is topped each fortnight.
My son has not had a cold in 6 months, and next year is the start our 5 year count down.
After all the trades, my wish list is pretty short:
heucheras (any)
coral bells(any)
pulmonarias (any)
european ginger
sedums (any)
enya-would love your -maineroses,
turmeric is
Would you grow it as annual?yes i would do you have this??
red flax,-would love this also I do. ,
If a present can be delayed till next spring, I can root Lavender Munstead
for you (have Munstead and Hidcote).this will be great
:
I have:on your list
sedums (any)I have unknown sedum-just says sedum on it
maineroses,
Sorry, I don't have turmeric. PF says that it is propagated
"By dividing the rootball
By dividing rhizomes, tubers, corms or bulbs (including offsets)"
I'll put red flax aside for you and made a note on the lavender in the trade tracker.
Oh ok well thank you.So I will see you in the spring?Did you want the unknown sedum?
Yes, please. I'd like the sedum. What color is it?
i am not sure-It just says sedum on it.no other writing do you want me to send now or in the spring
maineroses,
Merry Christmas! I have your holy basil (with chaff, unfortunately) and I'll check my lemon balm to see if there are any seeds....I never collect it and the finches love it, so they may have beat me to it. It will be on it's way to you tomorrow. My eucalyptus seeds may have already opened and dropped, but I don't know what kind of eucalyptus you could grow in Maine.
Sherry
Sherry Thank you for the holy bail.If you do find eucalyptus seeds or lemon balm i would love any-i wont start seeds till march I have a greenhouse i dont run all winter but will start them come spring.and if i had eucalyptus I would put in the greenhouse come fall.
do you have a wish list?
maineroses,
I am winter sowing this season, so would like to add the seeds to that project. Thank you.
ok is your addy in the exchange?
mroses,
The only seeds I'm really looking for ....I've already done a search for on a couple of forums, but will mention again anyway....ambrosia (the wonderful sweet smelling one- *not* epazote and feather corn seeds (also known as pod corn); and I'm pretty sure I won't find them because I haven't been a very good girl this year...sigh....will have to try harder next year.
Sherry
I have some Ambrosia a small amount -it says Ambrosia herb" let meknow if you want it sherry i will send right out
I have some Ambrosia a small amount -it says Ambrosia herb" let meknow if you want it sherry i will send right out
I looked it up it is herbeous what I have
My wish list....
Gourd, Big Apple
Mini Yellow Bell peppers
Tomato 'Berkeley Tie Dye'
Tomato 'Pink Ping Pong'
Phlox subulata
Morning Glory 'Gypsy Bride' (a girl can dream, can't she?)
Asclepias variegata
Asclepias speciosa
Asclepias fruticosa
Agastache barberi
Perilla 'Magilla Vanilla'
Alice
mroses, Thank you, but I think that one is epazote. I may never find the one that I grew years ago. It may have even been mislabeled or something, since all the ones under "ambrosia" bring me back to the mexican herb "epazote". It must be an acquired taste; to me it tastes like some type of petroleum product. What I've learned from hopping around online is that "ambrosia" actually means sweet smelling. Ragweed can also be called ambrosia apparently and yet it wasn't ragweed either...see, I told you I haven't been a very good girl.
Sherry
Dear Santa --
I've been a good girl. 3000 sf of converted lawn to lasagna beds should mean something.
That's why I have been dreaming of lilies. And daylilies. Not yellow.
I may put a wish list up later Robin, just too much going on right now, I'll send you these and I'll do some cuttings for you in the Spring, I've seen you do a few good things since I've been here :-)
Santas been watching you lol
I haven't had time to look for the red flax but it sounds like you have it covered. If I run across it I will send some, then you will have extra to plant.
Lea
Connie,
This Santa can help you get a piece of the Easter Bunny...
his tail, I mean. ;) I can fulfill one order this Christmas, so far.
I would love if Santa could hook me up with some Fuchsia seeds, or tropical Salvias, or anything tropical for that matter... Or Gazanias, Osteospermum (cape/spoon daisies, the funny-petaled ones!)
It would help if you sent some elves, Santa.
Alicewho,
I only have your Big Apple Gourd seed, not the rest on your list. Would you also like kettle? basketball? snake?
Jude
Jude, Sending you a dmail.
Alice
Robin thanks,

Connie
Plus about 150 packets of seed that i have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I am writing a list connie....................... hehehehehe
Sorry, I have only one little packet of red flax, I promised to maineroses :(
I am making my extras list from the doubles I got in trades.
I can't let the seeds just sit in my seed box and not be used.
Mark,
Would you happen to have any extras of your Astrantias? I was following your post
on them. I have not seen them here in garden centers or people's gardens.
But I remember seeing them when I went to open gardens back when we
lived in England, way before I got to dig the dirt myself and learn any plants
by name.
ENYA......................................... YOU HAVE D-MAIL
mroses,
You have mail.
Sherry
Connie, I really don't care what kind of lilies -- I just like them!
And I forgot to mention, Santa, if you are still up tonight -- I need some seed for z.5 hardy origanum laevigatum. Apparently not available for sale in the US, for some completely mystifying reason.
origanum laevigatum, Denver Botanical Gardens, July 2006:
lol greenjay, when you d-mailed me I didn't know where you were coming from, rofl. Got your name on some :o)
greenjay that origanum laevigatum is really pretty.

Connie, what kind of sweet potatoe vine are you wanting? I'm growing some "Margarita" and "Blackie" from tubers now. I could be your santa if these are what you are looking for and, I don't kill'em first.
