Think Spring! Tea Party SWAP Thread, continued

Here's our official Swap Thread for the "Think Spring!" (Chinese) Tea Party in Frederick on Saturday, Feb. 23.

See this thread for party planning details: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/814246/. That's where we'll talk food, drinks, rides, etc. If you haven't posted on that thread about attending, please do so... I'm using the list at the top to know who to Dmail with directions!

This is a continuation of the first swap thread, http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/805114/#new. I've repeated the information in the top post, but check that thread to see what people have mentioned bringing to swap.

It's not necessary to bring seeds to swap. It's certainly not necessary to bring plants -- but I know some people have a few they wanted to trade around. I've got plenty of extra seeds to go around, too (no trade needed). I've listed some, and there may be some party day surprises also. :-)

I'm thinking we may set aside a time to focus on seed swapping, perhaps from 2 to 3. Swaps can certainly happen at any time, and if you want to visit and not swap during that time, that's fine too. But if we don't put it on the agenda, there will be a mad rush to swap seeds just as people are getting ready to leave.

If you want to list what you have so you can see what people are interested in or pre-arrange some trades, this is the place to do it. You might consider posting a seed list and then going back to edit it for availability as people claim items on the list.

You can also just bring what you have along to the party and do your trading on the spot.

It'll really help if you have your seeds in labeled packets... I often use little zip top baggies from the WalMart craft department (100 for 99cents) with a slip of paper inside that has my DG name, the plant name (common and Latin name for easy lookup), and growing information like height, sun requirements, etc. More information makes trading faster and easier.

OK... let's keep swapping seeds! :-)

reserved for any additional details

reserved for my swap stuff

This is going to be a long post. I'm hoping people will be enthused and not intimidated... please remember that my own goal is to give away some of my extra seeds, not to do 1 for 1 swapping. I'll try to keep track of requests as we go along, especially of anything that's in limited supply, since I'll be sending seeds out next month also. (The number of packs is total available, not just ones I'm reserving for the swap -- so speak up if you see something you want!) I don't know if we'll have time to make a run through my stash, but I can generally spare a few seeds of most things in there, too.

I'll go back and mark off packs that have been claimed from the previous post by putting asterisks after the entry... when the number of asterisks equals the number of packs, they're gone, but you'll probably be able to talk me or somebody into sharing a few extra seeds so don't panic. :-)

Holy Moly - Jill!!! Mercy!!!
How's the scent on that Nicotiana? (as you know I REALLY liked mine last year - which is why I'm buying more varieties this year - happy to share some of mine w/you as well!!)
If you have enough of the following - I'd love some - please don't let me forget I have seeds (basil, if I remember correctly) to share that I'd rec'd back in fall:
Ipomoea coccinea Scarlet Star Glory (pretty please-don't have this one)
Thai Basil 'Siam Queen'
Purple Basil

I am popping in to say hi.. Hopefully I will have some stuff... Working on it...

That 'Scarlet Star Glory' is a pretty one! I spotted it by the parking area at Heyser Farms when we went to get apples... tiny little blooms, but very showy! I made the ID through PF, but I'm pretty sure of it. :-)

It's taken me a while to finalize that TGS order since a couple of folks are adding things in with the pepper seeds I wanted. Does anybody else want something from them? Shipping is a flat $4.25 whether you order 1 packet or 30, so if you go in with me you won't have to pay shipping. :-) Also, I'm getting 'Gypsy' pepper seeds and debating between the big pack (probably 200 seeds) and the really big pack probably 400 seeds)... does anybody else want 15 or 30 seeds of those? (I've got Jenn down for a pack of 30, right?)

TGS: http://www.tomatogrowers.com/

That's 'Little Beauty', a species-type tulip. The foliage does look rather crocus-y. It's one of my favorites! Sorry about not knowing the species after all on that tall burgundy amaranthus... it's a neat one, though... very different from the 'Love-Lies-Bleeding' types... this one is all about the foliage! And thank you for the pineapple tomatillo! I took it off my TGS order, and I'll share a couple of seedlings in spring if you want them, assuming I have good luck.

Jill is there any eggplant seeds you want to try???? I will split something with you.. Just yell. Like I said I am just bringing you my paycheck! :)

LOL... Thanks, but I've about given up on eggplant... I'm not attentive enough to keep up with the flea beatles that get after them. DH isn't fond of them, so the farmer's market supplies enough to keep me happy! Somebody else might be interested, though. I'm always intrigued by how beautiful eggplants are... I think they're pretty enough to tuck into landscape beds and flower borders. (And you haven't run up that much of a bill with those seed orders! LOL)

If there is something new you want to try I will split it with you... LMAO My poor family... HAHAHAHA

I'm ordering a pack of 'Bounty', a giant hybrid sweet banana pepper (because my 'Bananarama' from Burpee finally ran out). If anybody else wants to try them, it'll save us some $ to bump up to the next size pack (I don't mind extra seeds -- they last several years, and somebody always asks for a few to try). Looks like it'll be about 10 seeds for $1 (as opposed to $3.40 for 30 in the small pack).

heck, I could try Bounty with ya. I think my dad likes banana peppers. Anything that says giant- I figure that gives me leeway to get at least regular size out of them, despite my lack of skills. LOL . I am not good with regular green pepers though. I might need tips from you. sometime, not now. trying not to go off track

Critter. I'm coming if I am well enough. So for now count me in on the list of people to send directions to! We'll have to wear nametags with our DG names and our real names under them so that we all know who we are! :o)

Excellent! Nametags for sure... I'll mention it over in the organization thread... and I'll try to remember to add you to the list on that thread, too. I thin jsxtiger also posted on this thread (but not the other yet) that she was coming... I'm trying my best to keep track! :-)

Sally, I'll go ahead and order the bigger pack of 'Bounty'. I'm sure I'll find enough takers. You might like to try a few seeds of 'Carmen', also. Bell peppers generally hate my garden, also...

OK! I better make a list here of what i have as not everyone wants to go to the Trades place. Here goes:

Flowers:
4 O'Clocks--"Limelight"--annual
4 O'Clocks--"Broken Colors"--annual
Tall, Blue, self-seeding Ageratum--Biennial
Lantana--(self-harvested, very few)--annual
Rudbeckia "Goldstrum"--perennial
Grandpa Otts Morning Glory--annual
Red Cardinal Climber vine--annual
Tall, Perennial Hibiscus (white and red)-blooms ONLY after 3 years!
Double Purple and white Datura Metel--annual
Double yellow Datura--annual
Asst. common Holyhocks--annual
Rose Campion--biennial
Brent's blue perennial Salvia--I took some seeds from it (few)
Blue Angelonia--I took some seeds from it (few)
Northern Sea Oats--Perennial
Pregnant Onion seeds (will probably have a slew of "baby onions" available too.
Hyacynth Bean

Very limited amounts of:
Garlic Chives seeds
A few Brandywine Tomato seeds (partial packet)
Yellow Pear Tomato (mini--partial packet)
Cherokee Purple Tomato seeds (from Jill last year)--not too many

Less common seeds:

Wintersweet Bush (Chimanthus praecox)--lots
Southern Magnolia tree--a few


Some of the ones I have only a few of are not listed in my "haves". Not enough to share with the general membership.

Gita

Anyone wanting garlic chives can probably still scrounge some off the dried flowers by the front door... or better yet, see if you can pull up some rogue bulbs!

Gita -- my Pregnant Onion is making babies! I may have missed the seeds from its bloom, but there are undeniable little baby sprouts all around it now, and at least one much larger sprout also. What a fun plant! Thanks for sharing it with me!

Here's my list. Sorry it is so long -- especially since some of it isn't available (some of the seeds I'll need all of -- among them the impatiens, larkspur and forget-me-nots) and some of it is pretty old. And I won't be able to bag it up before the swap, despite Critter's entreaties, but I'll bring envelopes. I'm not looking for anything in exchange, so if you want something, please don't feel you need to bring me something to swap.

Happy... Are you taking requests? :-) If you have a pinch to spare, I'd love to try

Aquilegia hybrida 'Origami Blue and White' Columbine hybrid
Dianthus deltoides 'Arctic Fire'
Lobularia maritima 'Avalanche'
* Salvia forsskaolii

Happy, I'll take one of everything ;) But really, can you save me some Coreopsis tinctoria 'Mahogany Midget' and Aconitum napellus Monkshood? I'm afraid I'm coming quite empty handed this time though.

Happy,

Here I go! Said I did not want any flowers......

I would like some: NOT a lot of anything...just a bit.

Gaillardia mix--preferably the shorter variety
Digitalis mix--These won't bloom the first year--will they?
Giant, purple Amaranth. Is this really purple? I like the red more....
Mixed Cleome
Rudbeckia Hirta Gloriosa Daisy--are these mixed colors? I'd like a mix, please.
Cosmos Bipinatos--what color is that?

Thanks! Gita

I've got to get my seeds organized...sheesh, been saying that for months....grrrr

I didn't indicate what the "*" were for -- no, you didn't miss anything. I think those are the seeds I really wanted to be especially sure to plant . . . last year. But didn't. So I guess they are still high on my list for this year. Some plants (like arabis) I'll probably plant every seed I have because I adore that plant. But others I am sure I have way more than I need.

My working assumption is that I'll be able to cover all seed requests -- but if you need to know sooner (for example, because you'd otherwise buy the seed), let me know and I'll check the contents of the packets I have.

I've just finished going through my tomato stash and getting it more organized. Gita, I discovered 4 Sungold seeds in there after all, from 2004, so I can probably get a plant from them -- I'm good. I even found a few Black Cherry seeds in a little packet I'd overlooked.

I can post the whole list if people are curious, but for anybody thinking they might like to try a couple of different tomatoes this year... I seem to have about 60 varieties in there now, including about 20 different cherry tomatoes. As long as you leave me at least 10 seeds of any OP variety and 15 of any hybrid, you may have a few seeds of anything in there to try (and there are packets available of varieties I've saved seeds from)... I think there might be 15 varieties out of the 80 that are off limits under that general guideline.

And that doesn't count what might be added this year if the tomato RR lands at my house before the party. Actually, now that I've been through my stash and started considering my grow-out list for this year, I'm considering dropping my name from that round robin... but curiosity might win out, LOL.

An interesting Post on "General Discussion and Chat" today re different postage rates and how they determine what postage is needed for what kind of envelope. .
Might be good to know for those of us sending seeds to others.

I'll have to check that...as I rule (unless sending a lot) I use the smallest bubble mailers with the .58 stamps...seems to work well. I think Walmart had the smaller mailers the cheapest. Then again - another DGer gave me the great idea of reusing the mailers so - I've been putting ones aside I receive if they're in good shape.

Yes, I found packs of 10 bubble mailers at Walmart for a little under $4. That works well, because with a SASBE offer, if somebody doesn't want to send a BE, they can just send me an extra stamp. Reusing them is fine, but I try to remove or cover any labels or postage meter stickers that could confuse the sorting machines.

You mean nobody wants to see my list of tomatoes? LOL... you know you'll get a chance to browse through them next month.

Gita, I'm pretty sure Digitalis (Foxglove) won't bloom the first year... for sure not if they're winter sowed.

critter, I'm going to have to make some time to go to your WallyWorld, since this giant one we have doesn't have jack like you're talking about. I had to go to Michaels to get the little seed envelope. Walmart gal had no clue as to what I was talking about and they have little in the way of a craft section. sigh. Since they moved and opened this super center I just hate to shop there; Service is almost none existent and the ones you do stop and ask are basically clueless and have no desire to help you find out. Just burns my biscuit. grrrrrrrrrrr

Doc - the Garrisonville Walmart and Dumfries has both the tiny zip locks and the small bubble mailers - I know that means coming north...but thought you might want to know. The zip locks are normally by the beading stuff in Crafts and the mailers - with the rest in stationary/office supply section

Chantell, thanks for info, I have to go to Stafford mid Feb for a MG deal. I can hit the one in Garrisonville. Appreciate it :)

Wallgreens also has periodic sales on Bubble Mailers. Like----any size, 3/$1. That is when I stock up. Look at all their coupons in their circular when you get it. Don't just tyhrow it in the trash!
I am always amazed at the assortment of goods Wallgreens carries!! Like--they hardly have space for 10 of anything on their shelves, BUT--they sure have an assortment of stuff!
As an example--WHERE else can you still buy the brass angel chimes with the little candles below that makes them spin and 'tinklle"? Wallgreens always has them over the Holidays. $1.99 each!
Where else can you still get the "20 questions" amazing game? You think of a word and then play 20 questions with this Yo-Yo sized, computerized gizmo. They ask you questions that you can answer with a "yes"--"no" or "maybe". About 80% of the time they will guess what you are thinking about. GREAT game to play by yourself.....

And--if you still wear knee-high nylons--Wallmart has them on sale (now and then) for 39 cents a package. They are good too-with comfort bands and an assortment of colors.

NO! I DO NOT work for Wallmart!!!! Just wanted to pass all these ideas along....

Gita

Gita - you are TOO funny!!! I did work for Wally World...back in the (ok...about 9 yrs ago)...and I still like them!!

Strange....how I went from talking about Wallgreens and then "morphed" into Wallmart!
All that i wrote about was about Wallgreens--NOT Wallmart.

This old brain playing tricks on me.....

We are putting in a small order for Bananas. Which I will bring to the swap. If your interested check out this thread.
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/809000/

And don't forget I have a couple extra potted pups of non-dwarf bananas (which I don't think anybody has made a definite claim on), plus the bananas in the basement have pups that can probably be removed at planting out time.

Well, let's see what I will be bringing. Lapyrousia cruenta "Joan Evans," Cassia marilandica, Cassia hebecarpa (cassias are hardy), Opuntia humifusa, Sweet Rocket, Hardy Air Potatoes, (if they haven't molded), some plants, etc. I'll try to make something that is a surprise. All this weather permitting. Let's all pray for a sunny dry day.

I just got about ten seeds out of a Meyer lemon. Will they gow? I guess if it can make full size fruit with fat seeds inside, it's all ready to grow new lemons. I will keep some but can share a couple.

I had some sprouted seeds inside a Meyer lemon once, so I planted them... got a stunted little plant that never did much, but I admit it didn't get any special attention, just got plopped into a tray under lights with my African violets.

Jill please remind me that I need some removing banana pups 101 from you. My little gal - had pups last year - I removed them and almost lost her...God knows if the pups survived in their new homes. She's producing pups again and I'd love to share but gracious, I don't want to kill the mother plant just to get them - ya know?

Chantell, did you see the step by step photos in my "Go Bananas!" article? What kind of banana do you have? If you and Becky are coming up earlier in the morning, you could bring her along, and we could repot her and do a pup-ectomy, LOL, but we probably don't want to get into that sort of project later in the afternoon... and if she's a big plant, it's probably best for you to tackle her at home. :-)
