Hey Azalea---glad you liked all the plants. I was hoping you didn't have any of them and they would make new additions to your gardens. The Gopher Purge is a plant to help keep moles and gophers away and makes a nice unusual foliage plant. This is my first year to try them too. I hope you will enjoy all the plants!
Thank you TiG for putting this swap on---it has been alot of fun. Several Thumbs Up for TiG!!!! Really enjoyed reading all the post on what everyone received too. I have been just drooling over all the plants that have been mentioned. Heeheehee Enjoyed it TiG!! :)
WOW, RECEIVED MY SECRET SPRING TRADE!!!!
Hi Legit, I'm so glad you got your plants, I was worried that they would never come, as I sent them last Monday or Tuesday, if any of them look too bad just let me know and I'll send ya some more, I'm sorry I didn't have alot on your wish list, but you did say you like white, so I tried to find what I had in white, also varigated. Have lots of fun Planting!!! Rene~(Rbotanica)
Thanx for the invite. I'm not too afraid yet. Especially if I have DH drive!
Well, you think your brain is sucked out now!!!! Wait till the five kids grow up and are all teenagers at the same time!!!! OOOOOweeeeee!!!!
My secret trade came from Studley on Monday. Thanks so very much for the:
yellow iris
coreopsis
mint
variegated sedum-cool looking plant!
Irish moss-gonna use this between my patio pavers
saguaro cactus
All of this is new to me since I am fairly new to gardening. I put them in some water yesterday for a while and then wrapped them in paper towels. They look real perky this morning. Now to get them planted! Thanks so much.
I wanted to also add if you haven't received your secret trade don't dispair. What with all this rain the last two weeks, the end of the year school craziness and my daughter's surgery, things have gotten ahead of me and I haven't mailed my plants off yet. But don't fear-I have them collected and will hopefully box them up this evening and get them in the mail tomorrow.
I received my secret trade yesterday from TiG. What a wonderful assortment of plants. I immediately ran out
and planted them so let me see if I can remember everything that was in the box. There was a confederate rose Hibiscus, Loquat Trees, Ajuga, lavender Diantus,
varigated Hoya cutting, Edulis Passiflora and a darling hand painted flower pot and Blackie Sweet Potatoe vine and coleus. These secret trades are just so much fun.
