susan51, i have some milkweed varieties and will send 5-6 of each. i would send more but i am already sharing these seeds with another friend. also, i think i can collect some castor been. mine are all trade seeds and the person sent red and pink mixed so don't know what you'll get. what number are you? i will make a personal envelope for you. and connie i did that on all my extras so all you have to do is put my envelope in each of their envelopes.
this envelope is bulging and i still have a box full of seeds. any takers on the number i actually get planted? lol. this is a sickness. it's just a better sickness than meth-amphetamines or cocaine but a sickness none the less. lol.
CLOSED: CGs LMW Seed Swap 2006_3 extras
Ok . Thank you Hart.
I've only seen this in photos but it sure is pretty.
Joy
Wait until you see it in the flesh. The color of the berries is so pretty. It has pretty foliage too.
Hey, y'all. Should I go out tomorrow and see if my vitex or carolina sweetshrub (calycarpus) have any kind of seeds on them? Didn't even think to collect seeds from them.
YES lol
Joann, do you still have any left of these seeds?
Any of these you would be fine.

Well all I am off to bed. it's almost 1:30 here and I am just about asleep sitting here :o)
Night all Connie
Hello All,
Well is after 3am here and could not sleep so I came here to type...LOL 7am is going to roll around to fast...LOL
Ok for anyone wanting to send me any and all extra seeds my # 20 on the list...
I cant thank you all enough... I hope someone likes what I sent but trust me ladies I will get better at this seed thing...LOL Soon as hubby goes back to work its buy those seeds ..... that would give me a much better start then I am doing now....
Mama I think you said it was just plain milkweed...I really dont care so long as my butterfly's like it... I cant tell you the number of times I have bought from the local farm supply of caster beans... They never grew... but this time is the charm.. :-)
HOHOHOHOHOHOHO It's begining to look like Christmas...LOL
Hugs,
Susan
Hart,
Sorry forgot to tell you I cant find the post in Mid-A. I have been to your city many a times.... just last year we went tubing down the rivers there.. GREAT fun.... We stayed at the Johnny Apple Seed well that was the name of the place to eat the other was just the hotel...So are you anywhere near there? If so who knows who might show up at you swap... Hey can you bring husbands? We would just have to see how this strike goes and if it gets better we could spend the night up there for yes it is a drive for us... So let me know where the post is ok?
Hug,
Susan
JoAnn
May I have some of each of your cleome? I used to grow this but somehow it fizzled. Also, some Gaillardia "Fanfare" would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brenda
Hart- I'll send you the Nicotiana Sylvestris and Agastache "Golden Jubiliee." The white moon vine is Joy's, I think, so I don't have that one.
PamSue- I'll send you the Nigella, Nicotiana Sylvestris, and Agastache "Golden Jubilee."
DonnaB-I'll put you down for the Nicotiana Sylvestris.
i want some nicotiana sylvestris...........isn't that the one you have so much of? if it isn't save it for someone who gets rain. lol.
Susan51 When I return your envelope, I am going to have to use a different one, these priority stickers aren't coming off... Man your post office likes to use alot of them :o)
How is everyone else doing today?
Connie
is there a cactus person among us? somebody sent me some old seeds of golden barrel........Echinocactus grusonii. the pkg. is dated 1998. i can send all to one person or if several people want to try i can split the pkg. i am not a fan of thorny plants.
I would love to try them mama
mamajack, do you have more yellow cleome? Have you grown this from seed?
Brenda
Is DonnaB the only one who wants rudbeckia Goldstrum from me from the extras? Just double checking because I wasn't able to edit my send list above as I went along last night.
Connie, could you add Pamsue to the list of people who want redbud seeds if she's not already on the list? I don't want to do it above in case she is already on the list.
I have lots of seeds on my vitex if any of you would like some. Also my mock orange.
http://www.shcn.co.uk/season.asp vitex
http://www.colby-sawyer.edu/academic/ces/herbarium/angiosperms/morange.html mock orange
This particular mock orange has huge flowers (over 2 inches across) and very strong scent. It scents the entire yard for weeks when in bloom. Whether the seeds will give you plants with the large flowers or just regular mock orange I don't know. I like to cut branches and bring them inside when it's blooming to scent the house. (If you've never grown mock orange, it's called that because the blooms smell like orange blossoms. Out of this world heavenly.)
No luck with the carolina spicebush. I'll have to remember to collect some earlier next year.
Hart I would Love some of your mock orange.Could you please put me down for some?
Nancy
Hart I will try some Mock Orange please
Connie,I am going to get all my seeds ready to go over the weekend so I can get everything sent off on Monday.I will put the extras for everyone in separate baggies with their numbers on them.Hope thats the way you want it done?I thinks thats what I read earlier but of course I can't find it now.LOL I just can't believe how much fun this has been.Such a fun bunch of traders has made it even better.You all are Great!
Nancy
connie, unless someone else wants to try them i will send the whole pkg. to you.
and plantnutz the only yellow cleome i have left is my own stash. i will send you 15. these seeds were hard to find. and no i have never sown them. they grow wild in utah and supposedly colorado and new mexico although the native plant people in those states that i wrote did not know this plant. connie, started the whole yellow cleome thing. took months but i finally found a lady in utah who is laughing at us all for wanting seeds of her weed who traded me a large amt. of seeds. i have been trading and giving them away for a month now. my hope is that at least a few of us will be able to grow them and thereby always have a supply for daves garden folks. this is a native plant but there are no vendors offering this that any of us could find. so please pass them along.
hart can i have some mock orange and the rudbeckia.
mama, I QUILTY :o) ROFL
And if others want some of the cactus seeds by all means split them up :o)
Hart would you please send me a few of the mock orange & vitex, just a few...
Thanks, oh and hart just put pamsues # on a pack of the redbud and I will make sure she gets it. I will also make a note of it...
Nancy sounds good to me...
The deadline to mail seeds is the 15th but soon if you can - out of US please try to get them in the mail tomorrow. Thanks
Connie
Got everyone on the mock orange - DonnaB, Cedarnest and Mamajack. Mamajack, wouldn't you like some vitex too? It's even more drought tolerant than the mock orange and I'm sure would do well in Texas.
Susan, the Johnny Appleseed is in New Market, which is, let's see, maybe 30-35 miles from here. I'm north and east of there.
I finally found the post about the swap. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/663196/
Of course you can bring your husband. There are lots of nice b&bs across the mountain. But tell him if he prefers to fish, there's a stocked trout stream right up the road from me, maybe a mile or two away. You have to have a special license for fishing in the national forest in addition to your regular fishing license, but he can get those at WalMart in Woodstock or at the little country store about a quarter mile from me.
mama, I for got to mention this in the above post, I have already planted a few of the cleome lutea out side, I will also winter sow a few and then plant the rest after our last frost date... So hopefully one of the ways will WORK :o)
Connie
Connie, got you on the vitex and mock orange.

Answered me back asking again for the lutea, when I already told them I didn't have any..
Connie
