happy planting, kim
Pine Needle baskets for trade for Plants
I really love the burgandy ajuga. That would look great around my house. Here is a photo of the begining of my garden. This is how it looked when we moved in two years ago. It has improved but I havent done much planting yet. This is the first year since we've been here that I have been healthy enough to enjoy the out doors. When it warms up that is. If you look closely at the window you can see my little Wallace peeking out.
shakami, i can send you sweet shrub cuttng now, and the swamp hibiscus in a couple weeks. the swamp hib. isn't big enough to cut yet, long winter. i'm in zone 8
thanks
gourdbeader--those baskets are really interesting ---i know you are having fun using them for barter----how did you learn to do that? maybe one day you will have an online business selling them
I learned from a book. The way it looks, I am going to be busy for a while with orders and lots of plants but I will be selling them before Christmas. So keep that in mind and I will take an order anytime so long as I have till christmas to finish.
Jan
oh good--that would be a great christmas idea
hi jordan.........
ive never started the sweet shrub before. or the hibiscus. are they hard to start from cuttings?
the hibiscus is easy. never did the sweet shrub, but will look tuesday to see if there is a seedling big enough to dig up. going to ospital for tests tomorrow, so will get in touch with you tuesday
She has a show the 3rd of next month and then one in Oct for our big fair thats here and one of your baskets would be perfect for that so you have plenty of time. Susan
oh.. hope everythings ok jordan. :-} tues. be fine
Here are some of my newest completions. Let me know if there is one that you like more then the others and if that is the type you want to trade for
very nice! i kinda like the very first one and the one int he second row #3. good work jan!
They are all beautiful but how cute is the one with the bird on top. Susan
susan, did you get the dmail about the one basket for your granddaughter. I think that the first one would be nice unless you wanted one without decorations.

No but my computer has been aciting up, I think its time for a tune up. But any of them will be lovely to have. You choose which every one you want to make and we will treasure it. Thanks Susan
There is a picture of it 5 threads up from here. It is the first one in the collage. Check it out and let me know.
Jan
Oh My that one would be lovely with a mass design of different flowers in it. Thank You Susan
Okay susan, That one is yours. I will make you a little one just for yourself. I have 14 grandchildren and I know what it is like to want to do something special for one of them.
I will get the larger one sent first and then I will work on the smaller one.
Jan
Thank You so much. Susan
