1. Make sure you mark what the seeds are and info about the seeds on each packet. Please include enough seeds for that person to try out.

2. Please no more then 5 packets of one kind.

Let me be the first to sign up, please. I need new kinds of seeds.

Jen, honey, if you go here and ask ClanC/Chris to put you on the list of swaps, more people will see it that way. You may have already done that. ^_^

Will the seeds we get back be "purely surprise" selections, or can we express preferences and then see what happens to be available?

Corey

If you are looking for something specific and if one of us has it we can tag it for you. Otherwise I would say it would be a surprise.

I would like to join in as well. If anyone would care
to look at my "have" list for something specific I'd be
glad to share.

Cris

Thanks, Jennifer!

Add me to your list.

Corey

Ummm ... what are Greenly plants? - - answer: foliage plants - -

What I have most of right now are:

- White Alyssum, probably Lobularia maritima 'Snow Crystals'. Annual, eager re-seeder.
- Swan River Daisy "Splendor Mix" Brachycome ANNUAL

. . . S. superba "Violet Queen", P to Zone 3, &
. . . S. menerosylvestris "Amethyest Blue", P to Zone 5


Right now, I'm mostly wishing for

- trailing Lobelia / Lobelia erinus, blue or blue/violet or sapphire
- Creeping Thyme, Mother of Thyme, Wild Thyme, Thymus serpyllum, Thymes other than vulgaris
- white or pale flowers easy to start without a heating mat, perennial or re-seeding in Zone 8.
- red-flowered Penstemon, or deep blue or blue/violet, e.g.
. . . . . . . . . . . . red P. eatonii "Firecracker"
. . . . . . . . . . . . red P. barbatus "Beard Tongue"

I believe she means foliage plants. Although if they don't flower I have no idea how you get seeds.

I am doing an Edible Swap also. If for those that would like to do that also you are welcome to add the Edible seeds to this Swap and just make sure you put all the Edible seeds packets into one envelope and address it for Edible swap and then put it in with the other seeds that way you can mail it all out at the same time and same on postage and then I will mail out the seeds in one package back to you.

This is for the Edible swap

Jennifer

Thanks for the explanation! I don't have any foliage plants or seeds to offer.

I'm looking through people's WANT lists, and could post all those links here, if Jennifer or individuals like that idea.

edited to say,
I posted the WANT links in Post #8305475

That was also "access denied" when i tried it.

Clicking there another way, all the way to the tab, I think I got your same link.

Try this:


"diary", a.k.a. "blog" with a Valentine tab
http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/m/Robynznest/

Thanks, that worked, I wonder why it kept it private, I didn't mark it as such.

Rick,
I have some Penstemon smallii "Violet Dusk" if interested and also a
penstemon heterophyllis which I got in a "blind swap" so no idea what color.
Got some Allium "Christopher", let me know. Interested in your Swan River Daisy mix.

Swan River Daisy mix, check!

I would love the Penstemon smallii "Violet Dusk" , that's a great color.

I see in DG Plant Files that many rave about P. heterophyllis' beauty, and suitability for Zone 8a. Yes please! (Most vars look blue, blue-violet or lavender.)

Jennifer, would you rather we only did signups in this thread, and did offering and asking in a different WishList thread?

Corey

i have sent yesterday
penstemon tenuis guf coast
penstemon hirsutus alba
penstemon serrulates
penstemon azureus
penstemon purper husker red
penstemon chocolate drop
and many many more

marjolein

Jennifer, I would love to have one of Marjolein's penstemons, it doesn't matter which one because I don't have any.

For those that would like to send seeds for other players you are welcome to and I will make sure that the envelope with the players name on it gets put into there envelope that I will be mailing them. this way it same the cost of mailing out players wanted seeds .

Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer.

I've learned that I should package "one-on-one" trades to be as light and non-bulky as possible. One RR had a lot of single-swaps in big bubble mailers or decorative packaging, and they took up a lot of space.

I'm thinking of using plain 'sandwich baggies' (not Ziplocks) taped closed, with the recipient's name visible. One sandwich baggie per person I'm sending to. I'll put the Zip-Lock baggies inside the sandwich baggie.

Corey

Kawonkamish (Greetings),

I posted my Have's List and what I sent in to the Valentine's Day Seed Swap. Here is the link:
