Think Spring! HAVE/WANT lists for Feb. 16 seed swap

Although it's not necessary for participation, some folks find it helpful to list the seeds they have available for the swap as well as what they're looking for.

Please post only once on this thread, and then edit your post as needed. It's harder to find the HAVE/WANT lists if there are lots of other posts on this thread, so please post seed requests, questions, and other discussion on the seed swap DISCUSSION thread, here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1294098/

Happy Seed Sorting!

reserved for FAQ or other admin need

My spot!

note -- I'm adding a few seeds here Monday night, but I know I've missed some updates on marker & polymer crystal requests... I'll try to catch up on those by mid-week!

SEEDS! (some new, some older, mostly collected, a few commercial will be added later)

10 Fish Pepper (2009): shorter plants with variegated foliage, hot but very sweet (when red), African-American heirloom from Chesapeake Bay area. One of my favorite edible ornamentals!

5 Sweet Pickles Pepper (2010): compact plants bear loads of bright, tasty, upright conical 2" peppers. Another great edible ornamental!

2 Pretty Purple Pepper (2009): more ornamental than edible, but SO cute! miniature plants with lavender blooms, some purple on foliage, peppers like little purple gumballs.

5 Hot Portugal Pepper (2008): 2 ft. plants bear mildly hot, mid-sized chiles with great flavor. Always the first pepper to produce in my garden

3 Berlandiera lyrata, "Chocolate Daisy" (2012): germination was low on the 2011 seeds, so packets are fewer but more generous this year. Fingers crossed!

5 Mixed Snapdragon seeds from Catoctin Orchard (2012)

5 Mixed Wheatstraw Celosia from Catoctin Orchard (2012) Celosia argentia v. spicata
Donner,

Ipomoea nil, mixed Japanese Morning Glory (2012) shorter, less aggressive, and way less invasive than their I. purpurea cousins. Should have some real lovelies from the vines on our deck last summer.

Climbing Malabar Spinach -- tender perennial vine with edible, spinach-like leaves. Pretty pink buds, lavender blooms, dark purple berries (which will stain pink!)

5 Basil, Italian Genovese (2012): the one a friend brought back from Italy years ago. strong delicious flavor, my favorite for pesto & any Italian recipe

5 Basil, Sicilian (2012): similar to Genovese above but without the anise note to its flavor

5 Basil, Lime (2012): distinctive lime (not lemon) citrus flavor & scent

6 Mix of 2 Thai type basils, Thai Basil Siam Queen & "Hot & Spicy" basil (2012)

6 Basil, 'Blue Spice': more delicate flavor, pretty violet-blue bloom spikes



Joyanna will have the following... please arrange your trades with her in person. :-)

Lychnis alpina, "Alpine Catchfly" (2012) collected from plants in her fairy garden. Polite self-sower that pops up here and there around the garden. Distinctive basal rosettes, dancing stems of bright pink blooms 2nd year after sowing.

Zinnia, Lil' Darlin' and Sweet Alyssum, 'Aphrodite Mix', both from Hazzard Seeds packed for 2013


Markers:
75 cents each, black "Industrial" Sharpie markers, fine (regular) tip (way more permanent outside than regular Sharpies)

$1.50 each, silver metallic or gold metallic Sharpie markers (great for black or green nursery pots)

Donnerville, 2 black, 1 silver
Greenthumb, 2 or 3 black
RosesR Red, 2 black, 2 silver, 2 gold
Buttoneer 1 gold, 1 silver

Polymer Moisture Crystals
With postage, the price is $5 per pound for medium size crystals, Small quantities of powdered and small size are also available (ordered 2 pounds each), and large size too (ordered 10 pounds).. the other sizes will be priced a little higher.

Donnerville, 5 pounds medium
Roses, 10 pounds medium
Holly, 2 pounds medium


Plants
just so I can keep track

SSG: euphorbias
Donnerville & Gita: caladiums for spring, Red Robin, Aaron, Buck Rodgers

Lotus

Night-Blooming Jasmine: Donner, Button (note, due to stressed plant, I'll get fresh seeds instead)

Goldfish Plant: Donner, Button, Terp

SS, I got a small sample pkg of that Italian Flat Leaf Parseley. It's yours, if you want it.

This message was edited Feb 5, 2013 12:03 AM

Greetings Friends,
I'm sure I will have to edit this post tomorrow, Oh, it's tomorrow already! I'm really sleepy but here goes. I don't have many vareities of seed, but :

Cockscomb
Hungarian Blue Poppy (the edible type)

OK, my memory is failing me, I know I have something else.....
In the meantime (I wrote it down so I don't need my memory for the ask:)

Gitagal, the brugmansia you gave me last year was BEAUTIFUL! It didn't flower until late Fall, but then again, it took me a while to realize just how much fertilizing was necessary! Thank You So Much!

I would like to try and grow the Lady Balfour - I understand that growing her from seed will be a major lesson in patience; and I need the lesson:)

Sallyg - I would love to try the Double Purple Datura.

Thanks and Goodnight All:)
Cheers!
Marlene

Marlene--

Which Brug did I give you? Dr. Seuss or the pink NOID one?

Most of the brugs I have had put on their best show in October.
I think they like the cooled weather.
How did you overwinter your Brug?

If you go to the "Brushwood Nursery" site--you can find a photo and info on the "Lady Betty Balfour" Clematis.
My camera does nor show the right color. What is it with blues????

Here! http://www.gardenvines.com/shop/large-flowered-clematis-3/clematis-lady-betty-balfour-124.html

See you soon! Gita

a gentle reminder... let's please keep this thread for have & want lists as much as possible, 1 post per person (edit as needed). Requests and comments should go to the "discussion" thread for this swap, please. It's just lots easier if we can scroll down and easily see everybody's lists, especially for any newbies.

I know it's just been a post here and a post there, not trying to be dictatorial, but I also know how this thread can just turn into another discussion & request thread, and that gets confusing!

Thanks!

OOOOOPS!

I doubt I'll bring any seeds or want any -- we are just too darned busy to do much planting, and I have plenty of seeds to feel guilty about not planting as it is! But I am looking forward to seeing each and everyone one of you, so that's my wish list!

bump up

Hello Gita:)
Please accept my apology for my late response.
You gave me Dr. Seuss! Oh Happy Day! She didn't bloom until October, but it was worth the wait.
In November I cut pieces of her and brought her inside. Then I couldn't figure out how to properly overwinter her. So, I placed in in a window and tah dah! She lives! She grows and drops leaves periodically but she is alive.
I think I may have goofed on the cuttings though. They were doing just fine, then in a moment of "inspiration" I started to fertilize them. Looks like that was a big mistake! They dropped their leaves and now don't look as firm.
I was so thrilled with this plant Gita! You have made a "brug maniac" out of me:)
Cheers!
Marlene
