Charlenesplants, I would like to trade your request for plantation rose verbena for some of your angelonia, pink or purple or both, whatever you have will be fine.
Thanks, Geneva
Spring CS Round - Up Trades #2
Guys I know 4 o'clocks are old fashioned & pretty common but I have these things popping up all in one bed and making nice tubers. Seems a shame not to share them... they really are a pretty pink and white mix.
LMK
I wish you were coming to Jacksonville...I sure would love some of those!! One of my all time favorites along with MG's...
"eyes"
Me too, Eyes! I'm thinking about starting a little bed where they can take over and I don't care. I have several areas that could use some life that don't even come close to the rest of my garden. They don't require much either so they'd be fine off in a corner somewhere.
Carole, if you have some extra 4 o'clocks, I'd be happy to take them to "eyes" the following week-end. This spring I have gone crazy and am going to all three RU's.
I am adding redbud seedlings to my list. I left them off at first until I knew for sure where they were. Can't tell until they get leaves.
I had a bed of pink and yellow (same flower) 4 o'clocks. The hummingbirds took it over as their own. My little nephew was standing on the steps and they would come out and look at him eye to eye. It was really cool. I was happy to see that the flowers are coming up again.
I would love some of those 4 o'clocks Cajun2. Please.
Excellent! I'll put you guys down for some.
Just in from mowing with the little push mower (even on 2 acres, the Husqy just can't 'go' EVERYwhere!
Getting my shower, grabbing a bite and then I'll be back to work on my trades.
Thank you Patrob...Cajun2 you think that's possible?
"eyes"
Well, I finally got to dig up some cannas. Some of them were mushy and I cut that stuff off. But some where just a little dark, but still firm. Are they still good? BTW I found a worm crawling around in one. YUCK! It wasn't an earth worm. And they've been multiplying for awhile so there were really long pieces. How do I know where to cut it? One was more than a foot long.
Mary Lee, just cut off mushy stuff and let the rest dry. If there are eyes, the rhizomes will grow.
eyes... you lost me... anything's possible! lol
but yeah, if you mean me working on my trades after my shower & after dark, i just mean on here ;-)
otherwise... i've updated my list and i'm going to bed now!
Patrob, so I cut off all the old roots too, leave the brown firm parts and (I can't remember what you said) cover them with dirt or sawdust?
I'd cover with soil and water when they seem dry.
Ok, got it Patrob. Thanks.
Carole, "eyes" was talking about my offer to take some of your 4 o'clocks to the East TX RU for her if you have extas.
oh sure, no problem that I can see. I had one tuber dug up for over a week & laying on the ground... It's still there and thriving - reaching for the sun! So I'm sure if transported to another swap a week later, it'll be just fine!
and by that i don't mean i plan to send eyes the one i've had laying in my garden a week outta the ground ;-) i'll wait & dig her up a couple of fresh ones!

Charlene when are you guys going to post directions to College Station? I have some people from around Huntsville I am inviting and I dont know how to tell them.
Thanks
Actually Sylvia...Charlene is just working the trade lists. I have posted directions on the headcount thread here in the first post: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/953585/ .
:) Kim
just a little fun here... thought you guys might appreciate seeing my little patch of Mexican Herb (aka Rootbeer Plant)
and the little 4 o'clocks outSIDE my garden bed that i haven't weeded out yet (they grow like, um, weeds!)
Keep'em growing guys, your excess is our joy!
Speaking of excess.... I've never really looked but if you guys think there might be 'babies' under this Asparagus Fern (in the ground), LMK! And I'll surely bring some!
I cant tell Cajun, but if there is I will take a sprig or two. ;)
iI am still cleaning out the store room ... got a lot of give aways or trades ... what ever. I got
Frog on a lilly pad with hose
plant stands
more pots
a jar of pickle hinnes
small soaker hose
yard objects
will look for more
Cannas
succulents
Sylvia, I'd love to have some of the larger decorated pots. Tall plant stands would also be nice. What can I bring you? Do you want more trees?
Charlene
Sylvia, I'll for sure get you some Asparagus Fern for one of your decorative pots if I may? (could i possibly get the one with the Sun on it??? pretty please??)
If that's your 'project' it sure looks better than mine cleaned out!!!! Good Job!

I would love to have some of your plant stands and the blue and white pot on the shelf, the green ceramic pot, a few of the bigger pots and some yard art. I would take the larger clay pots and saucers. I especially need 4 and 6 inch pots. I have some small plants coming in.
What does the frog look like?
Thanks
Sandy
Do I have any takers for redbud seedlings? Some of these have been growing for several years and are fairly substantial, at least a foot tall.
Silver, I'd love to have a couple of Redbuds. What can I get for you? I've updated my trade list on DG and also added a couple of things to the RU trade list.
LMK!
~ Carole
Sandy I knew someone was going to know what that frog look like, i will take pic tommorrow.
Charlene I am bringing you and a sandy a Elephant Ear.
Who is bringing me the Catapulta trees?

Sylvia, I have some Catalpa Tree seeds... want them?
Sylvia = I'm bringin' a Catalpa tree for you at the East Tx RU on the 16th...is that what yr thinkin' 'bout?
Yes Willis ... I was trying to remember which RU ... thanks. What do you want from me, I dont have much Cannas, Succulents and maybe a hostas. ... and pots.
Slightly OT, but I need to know who gave me the Mickey Mouse EE last year. I don't want to hijack the thread, but I have some questions. I'll send you a dmail.
Sylvia...I would love a hosta or two...anything I can bring you?
Patrob and pbtx...sorry I missed you before on the passi cuttings. I plan on trying to root more and will cut some for both of you. Hopefully some will take root this time. Patrob, I am sure my parents would love to try some white shrimp plant. And pbtxlady, I could use some sedums for my strawberry pot.
:) Kim
You got it, Kim,.
Thanks, Kim. I'll put you down for white shrimp plants.
Sylvia, if you still have any clay pots or hostas available....that would be great! Thanks ! Lee
You got it Willis! Any special size you needing so I can put you name on it?
Aww Marylee, I am glad you going to pick on someone other that me. LOL
