just an update for those of you who asked, or didn't ask but were wondering.

the one "francee" is at least 4 feet in diameter right now. I do have a few smaller ones.
the "royal standard" I have 1 that is 3 feet, and one that is about 1.5 feet in diameter, plus a few small ones.
the "undulata" I have two that are 3 feet in diameter, one that is about 1.5 feet and a bunch of little tiny sprouts that seem to have shot off from seed or something.

as for the geranium/cranesbill I have a good 10 square feet + and the "emerald and gold" wintercreepers are each about 6 feet in diameter.

Prattville, AL

Still willing to pay what you consider fair to you so I can get my garden back to before.

If someone has not taken the sedum or the geranium, I would love them! If so, I will look at your want list, but I will pay the postage to send them...how large would they be?
(Crossing fingers...)

It sounds like they have alot of divisions there, one nice thing about hostas!

Ladoga, IN(Zone 6a)

I would love to have the Autumn Joy...

Ballston Lake, NY(Zone 5a)

pfllh, just shipping
hopefully my package will get you a little closer to getting your garden back

* I still have plenty of geranium... I'm not sure it would be possible to get rid of it all
I also found some daylilies, bearded iris and phlox. I don't know the colors of the daylilies or irises, but the phlox are pink

I'm beginning to hate that shade of pink

mailing everyone back :)

Ballston Lake, NY(Zone 5a)

this is what the flower bed looked like in april once the snow melted. the previous owners had neglected it for 10+ years... most of the yard is like this. I'll be digging up flower beds for a while.

Would love to have a few hosta divisions if you still have them! Also the showy sedum and stonecrop if you have of those left.

Cocoa Beach, FL(Zone 10a)

The 4 foot Francee is probably many, many, separate plants all growing together in a large clump. I would suggest you water well, have a few 5 gallon buckets available and DIVIDE. I use a garden fork, position it where you want to separate a portion from the main clump, put your foot on it and push it through as far as you can. You will be damaging some of the roots, but that is how it's done. Take the small clump and put in the 5 gallon bucket (with water) for a day. This will keep the plant hydrated and soften the roots for separation. I try to pull individual crowns out and discard any dead root material. Keep putting the cleaned ones back into another bucket (with water) to keep hydrated until shipping. When shipping, shake off excess water and wrap roots in damp paper towel, and put wrapped roots in plastic bag, secure with rubber band or tape, Do not cover leaves with plastic. Take a couple of sheets of damp, not wet newspaper and wrap entire plant. This will keep it fresh during shipping. I hope you find this information helpful.

Celina, TN(Zone 6b)

I would like to get the bearded iris for postage.
Thanks Winni

I'd like an update on the Francee Hosta, are you going to divide it? If so how much do you want us to send for postage?

Ballston Lake, NY(Zone 5a)

i am dividing it, there's plenty there to give everyone a nice large plant.

i'm not sure on shipping costs yet. won't know until the day i send them off. but i can mail you then. it's shouldn't be too much, i generally use parcel post or first class/priority. probably a little over $5 for the largest packages...

as for form of payment i will accept anything but cash. check, plants, money order... i even have a paypal account and can send you an invoice if you supply me with your email address

tonight i do more digging and separating so the plants can be in the mail on monday. hope everyone has a good weekend, and i'll check back a few times during the gardening to check my messages.

Cocoa Beach, FL(Zone 10a)

I appreciate your doing this, feel free to check my tradelist. I may have something you'd like to have.

Richland, MI(Zone 5b)

I wish I had something to trade with you, for some hostas. Royal Standard is my favorite, my grandma used to have it, but I would love any of them. Please, if you still have any hostas left, would you consider a pay for postage from me?
Thank you,
Alexandra

Millerstown, PA(Zone 6b)

Goodness you do need to get some rest! Till the weeks over you are going to be completely run down. What you are doing for all of us is greatly apperciated, but make sure you get the rest you need!

Ballston Lake, NY(Zone 5a)

Raleigh, NC

sending you a dmail

Ballston Lake, NY(Zone 5a)

hey gardenlady... could you dmail me? makes it so much easier to keep track of everything. especially since i'm half at home and half at work. :) thanks

Tulsa, OK(Zone 6b)

Hi I would love to get some of the weeping forsythia. My zip is 74133. Please let me know how much and how to get it to you. Please look over my list maybe I have something that peeks your interest. Even though it says out I may have one or 2 to trade for this special plant.
Dave

Prattville, AL

Haven't dmailed you since the 13th. Did you find any time to do all the work of packing after having to dig all that? I'd have been laying on the ground and yelling "I can't get up" !
If you have the amounts figured, you can list here or just send a dmail. I just want to get the postage to you as mailing all the plants is going to run into an expense.
Thanks so much.
Lynn

North of Atlanta, GA(Zone 8a)

You have Dmail.

Ballston Lake, NY(Zone 5a)

i sent 10 decent sized packages in the last week. i will dmail those of you whom can expect those packages. the rest will be out soon, there is just so much to do!
i am packing more up tonight, and will continue to pack what i can when i can until it is all out.
i apologize if i don't mail people right away... thank goodness for trade tracker or i'd be absolutely insane. 60 hours to work this week. no computer at home... and a baby shower cake for 30 people to bake and decorate... doesn't seem like life wants to slow down.

and i certainly apologize for not getting everything out right away. thank you all for being so kind and patient... and understanding.
