you can place your securely wrapped seeds and bulbs for those you are
gifting. On an attached tag please include the name of seed/bulb, any
special planting instructions (if a person has requested it they will probably
have a general knowledge of its basic needs) and gifters name.

Plus I have at least one iris plant that is either yellow or a purple/yellow bicolor (hasn't bloomed yet). A generous DGer gave me several at a plant swap last year and the extras survived the winter in their pots.



A variety of tomato plants, both heirloom and hybrid. I will bring the ones that are requested. (There are just too many to bring them all!)

The first group was winter sown and are partially hardened off. They are still in their WS containers but I will pot up any requests.

Super Beefsteak

Rose
Beefmaster
German Giant

The next ones are living inside under lights and will need hardening off. Some are still small.

Amish Paste
Anna Russian
Goldman's Italian-American

The next group was germinated using the dense-planting method promoted by nctomatoman. If you don't know who that is, I can find a link. Anyway, these will be teeny tiny seedlings but have already seen some sun. They are still in their original flat but I can transplant any of them that are requested.

HAVE
coleus cuttings
(if you have a preferred kind, let me know and if I have it I'll be sure to bring)
IHere are some of what I have, tho I no longer have all of them:

http://mtlaurelgardenclub.tripod.com/coleus4/coleustable.htm

Sorry, no garnet robe. My only cuttings of it died. Also no inky fingers, but I do have one that I call 'inky toes'. It's very similar to inky fingers but it's not as compact and is more tending to trail. I'll bring it. Lots of 'pele' and 'red head'.

Oh gosh, I LOVE them all!!!!

Weren't they beautiful?

Since we're a small group I think we can post requests right on this forum.

I'll be listing seedlings to share by Monday. I know I'll have tomatoes and
hollyhocks.

Coleuslover, my window boxes are in shade - only getting sun after 4pm.
If you think the inky toes would do well there please do bring them for me.

Nisi, I'd love some lima bean seeds.

FlowAJen, those wallflowers are Very orange but my god-daughter in
Michigan is in the right area for them & may appreciate their cheerfulness.
So I'd like a small amount of seeds - certainly don't need 1000.

Thanks

You got it..

Pics taken in my garden last year and offering the seeds in the swap
First pic is the Salvia Coral Nymph
Second is L flamingo feather and on the R Lantana

Finally got my list up (so far)

Roses,
I'd like 10-15 seeds each of the Tahoka Daisy and the Dames Rocket.
Tried growing the Dames Rocket a couple of years back & was not
successful. Not sure if I over-misted the tiny seeds.

Thanks,
Cris

I'll put these seeds aside for you, Cris.

Thanks Roses :)

Ok, I"ll bring as many of those coleus cuttings as I can. I have all the ones that flowAjen mentioned above, except crimson velvet and garnet robe. I have lots of 'careless love' and I think it's a nice one.
I'm worried about putting my coleus plants out at the garden club plant sale that morning. The temp is forcast for less than 60 deg, which the coleus do NOT like! Maybe I'll keep them in boxes.
- I think I'll leave my cuttings in the car. I can't very well bring them in to the restaurant (can I? )

Cris, I am interested in a 4th of July and a Stiletz tomato plant. Also some lantana seeds, if you can explain to me how to get them to germinate.

Thanks.

Tomorrow I'll post specific kinds of plants I'll have available.

If anyone wants some of my seeds, please send me an address and I will mail them to you. Sorry I will miss the fun. Maybe we can get together here during the summer. Let me know if anyone is interested in having a small get together here.

Have fun!!

Teri

Nisi,
Lantana is pretty much a plant & forget about it seed.
You can start indoors or just direct sow in a bare spot in the
ground. Which I did & they bloomed in late summer.

Its a deer & drought resistant perennial. For some contact
dermatitis is an issue.

I will put your name on the tomatoes.

I plan to bring the seed packets I offered & the surplus plants in
hopes to find good homes for them.

wow Nisi what a selection!
I would like
seeds-
zucchini
broccoli
bloomsdale spinach
early jalapeno
sweet banana
winter squash
carrots
Tomato plants
2 Kellogg Breakfast
2 Abe Lincoln
3 tommy toes
3 sweet olives
4 big beef
3 matina
2 mule team




Oh Cris can I get some sweet basil and watermelon seeds?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will set them aside for you Jen :)

The basil grew unbelievably for me last summer & hope it will
do just as well for you :)

This is the link to the video by nctomatoman I mentioned in my "have" list, in case you're interested. I am fascinated by this seed starting technique. Mine are a little bigger than these,and I don't have quite as many per cell.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLbeZEcz3sw&feature=relmfu

I like that video - especially since he's wearing a "Fenway Park"
T-shirt !!

Nice to see also that I'm not the only one who buys bales
of growing mix.

Nisi, please add a beefsteak to my wish list if you can. Those didn't
grow well for me this year.

Grew the Constoluto tomatoes last year and they did well but the
bugs liked them more than other varieties.

shoving them in like that would only work with pro mix
