Hi I am new (August) to DG and new to gardening( may 07). I have 2 acres of land that I would love to fill with beds of flowers. If anyone has any extra's, I'm in zone 8b and will take anything. I don't have anything to trade right now but I certainly will later. I love this website. Nicest people. This is the look I'm shooting for. I know it seems very ambitious, but after working for 37 years I am ready to give some love back to the land the Lord has blessed me with.
Would you like some datura seeds, morning glory seeds, and/or ice plant cuttings?
Oh yes AuntAnne , thankyou so much. Please Dmail me and tell me what I need to send to you. Thanks, Debbie
Do you only want plants or do you want seeds also?
I have some young foxglove, Pam's Choice. If it will grow in your area, I will send you several. Let me know
Dutchlady1 Thankyou so much. I tried to look for some tropicals that were ok for my zone. But I didn't find any yet :( Thanks anyway....
makshi Plants and Seeds . I will take what ever you would like to send me. Thankyou Thankyou Send me a dmail with instructions and address. Thanks again Debbie
woodspirit1 Oh yes I would love foxglove. I looked it up on plantfiles and it says zone 8b :) That's me. Thankyou Thankyou for the picture It is beautiful..
Gosh thanks to everyone soooooo much. Again just Dmail me with instructions.
I have Solomon's Seal and purple heirloom Iris, also a variety of ground covers like snow on the mountain, ajuga, sedums, periwinkle, more I can't think of the names right now, could also spare a few Ice Follies narcissus bulbs, and a Stella d'oro lily.
I would like to say come on over the the Mid South Gardening forum , we have several members very close to you , one is actually in Denham Springs ,too. They had a Round up there in LA a couple of weeks ago, sorry you missed that one.
There is another in Tupelo, MS. - weekend after next ( Oct.6) that some from LA are coming from there to Tupelo. We all try to get together at least three times a year to swap plants or seeds. It is great!!! You are welcome to come to the round up ( you may even want to ride with some LA folks- they are a very friendly bunch) and we will load you down with plants while you are there. And as a newbie you do not need to bring anything other than yourself. I know , I was a newbie this time last year and they loaded me down with plants, LOL. I have really greatly expanded my plant collection and more importantly my gardening knowledge in the last year or so. Welcome to DG and I hope to see you in the mid south forum soon..
Sharon
mittsy Hi thankyou so much. Yes, yes I would love them all. I looked them up on plant files and they are all good for my zone... Thankyou mittsy. Please send me a dmail with instructions.
savagegardener Hi Sharon . Thanks so much for the invitation. I would love to come. I'll go on over to Mid south forum for details
Can anyone please tell me how to get to the place where the addresses are?
Debbie
i have some yucca with the white flower and crossvine that needs a home. just lmk.
I have Florida Sweetheart caladium that won't overwinter in VA but will there. They were dug last Thur. I also have white snowball dahlia tubers.
Dmail me if you want these for postage.
Kathy
Hi Debbie,
Sorry it took so long for me to find you but my days get more hectic than the day before. I live very close to Denham Springs in Greenwell Springs, La. Just down Magnolia Bridge Rd. to Greenwell Springs take a left and I'm on the left just before the 4 lane begins.
D-mail me and I'll get you here. I have tons come on over and I'll load you up. LOL Do you dig? Just wondering?
Jeri
Hi Jeri what a priviledge for you to offer me plants. I followed all about the LARU. Pictures are fabulous. Yes I will dig if you show me what to do. I love playing in the dirt. Thanks again so much. I'm in the middle of a drape order that I have to install this week, but the first day after that,when its convenient for you I will come. Debbie
I'll see if Mary G.(Lamom) is available and we'll have a small plant party.
Jeri
Oh shoot Jeri, there you go having fun without me again. Drapelady I can also help you out but I just can't dig this week.
Cindy
Cindy now if you can come you know there is room here for alot more. Bring Becca and we'll have a mini RU!!! We need to plan another trip to Forest Hill after the winter. I can't squeeze anymore plants into this non-existant GH. LOL!!!
Jeri
Hi ya'll, sorry I had to take care of supper and cloths and grandson's homework. OK, they are all in bed :) my time! Yes Jeri, I'd love to meet some of my gardening neighbors, so you just let me know when.
Hi Cindy, yes just Dmail me when you are ready. Thanks so much.
Debbie
To everyone who has been so kind to offer plants, seeds, bulbs, cuttings. Thankyou Thankyou Debbie
i just know i would like to play with all of you la. folk. wish i could come and frolic with yall. lol.
hey..............does anyone have any sugar cane? and who is the resident sugar cane expert?
and cindy, did i send you any of the hibiscus cannabinus? i have never seen anything grow as tall so fast. these things are 12 - 15 ft. tall and they got a late start here. not a lot of flowers but the stalks are huge. now i see why they are making paper out of this stuff. i think they would look cool to plant them in rows or in a little forest like bamboo but without all the hassle of bamboo. this was by far my most fun plant this year.
Hi mamajack , me again. just dmailed you. No I am so sorry , but I don't know anything about sugarcane. And I wish you could come play in the dirt with us too!;)
Debbie
Hey Barb no you didn't send me that canna shame on you. LOL I did get my daylilies and they are soaking and doing great. Don't grow sugarcane up here in the north. Jeri I would love to come again but I think our time is short for planting. You know I will be back down there in the spring. Yes I really want to go to Forest Hills again in the spring. I was down in Alexandria Fri for a DR appt. I really wanted to scoot over to Forest hill really bad but I restrained myself. I have way too much that still needs planting and beds to clean out. Gee 18 months ago I was begging for plants too. Just look what you can get yourself into here at Daves. I think I am going to try and repair the greenhouse for the winter. My DH told me he wouldn't help. I think I can jury-rig it to be able to start seeds and put those things you gave me in there. I know the white hyacinth bean is an annual so I will have to keep it growing till next year.(hope to or until it makes some seeds. )
Boy we have had two solid days of rain.
Gosh Debbie I have hyjacked your thread!!!! Anyway I will be glad to help you get started with some plants just depends on how much postage you want to pay. If Jeri drove a bigger vehicle she could haul them for you from Tupelo. She drives this miniature suv that her husband bought (I think he was secretly trying to inhibit the amount of plants she buys. We are all headed to Tupelo next weekend. We really have a good time together. MidSouth rocks. Debbie you will not find a more caring ,generous bunch of people. I know Tupelo is a long way for you . I am so sorry we didn't know of you for the RU at Jeri's Cindy
HI Cindy I am trying to adjust my scedule to go to Tupelo so I will be able to meet you there.
Jeri I hope to see you at your house one day next week. Maybe you can show me how you get the plants ready for Tupelo. I'll be glad to help you if you want me to.
and Cindy bring alot (I have a cargo van with only 2 seats) so I can carry alot of plants:)
what have I got myself into I LOVE IT
Debbie
You let me know when it's definite and I will dig. Cindy
Cindy I was just kidding. You only do what is comfortable to you. I am grateful for any and everything. But I am excited to meet ya'll.
Debbie
Debbie, Just to let you know that I am unable to send anything to you at this time. We are closing up our house for a visit to our son's before we go on to FL for the winter. Please put me in your tradetracker and contact me in the spring. I would be happy to share with you then.
Mittsy
Debbie let me know which day next week and believe me we'll work on filling that van for you. LOL!!!
Jeri
Hi mittsy, that's ok. So you are a Snowbird. My sister lives close to Destin FL in Freeport. Ya'll have a great trip. See you next year:) Debbie
HI Jeri Thanks sooo much. How about the beautiful sun thats shining today. Let me get with my schedule. I have two drape installations so I'm not sure if I can get there before Wednesday or Thursday. Is that too close to your leaving for Tupelo? If it is, then I'll make a few changes and come when it is best for you. Thanks so much. Debbie
Debbie I went down to the farm this morning dug you turks cap, chrysanthemum. red lycoris, pink four oclocks, white rain lily ,canna , crinum milk and wine and a few daylilies. I will dig you iris out of my beds. Cindy
Oh Cindy how wonderful. I am soooooo excited. What beautiful plants. And I still don't know if I will make it to tupelo. If you want to send them to me now, just dmail me with postage cost and info. Oh how very very sweet to send me such beauties. Thankyou thankyou thankyou
