I'm Hosting a spring Plant/cutting exchange.This is 2 seperate exchanges.You can be in both(please send lists seperately if are in both...for my sanity )Deadline will be MARCH 24 2007.I'd like to be able to have everyones Names by the 17th with their lists. We'll do a 3 plant minumum.
Send me a list of plants you have available to trade(or cuttings for trade and list if is rooted or not)If you are Canada mark that in trade.or UK.As long as I have at least 4-6 from other countries we can swing including Canada/UK PO has priority flat rate shipping boxes which can save a bundle on postage(like with cannas....An $8 box sure beats a $20 shipping cost)
You can PM me your exchange lists& please put if is PLANT EXCHANGE or CUTTING And if are joining both send 2 lists in. Then I'll match names and tell who gets who .And everyone should do delivery confirmation slips.Its so much easier when can track and is only .50
I'm looking forward to this.I enjoyed the last one I was in.

No.you send them to the persons name I give you.I'll do best to match wants/haves.A person gardening a long time might be easier to have large choice from VS one who's only gardened a short time.Those of us further south may have stuff ready now where someone up north in the snow belt may have hard ground still.If I still lived in Indpls....I'd need a pick axe& hammer to get a plant out for tradeing right now,but would be easier end of May.It can be more than 3 plants.I just set a minumum.
I'm looking forward to this.I hosted a butterfly hummer plant exchange a few years ago on another forum.I even had someone scare me...they put those plastic bug rings from halloween in the box.even on a few of the plants..lol bought choked on my beer too.

I would like to join the swap. I have day lilies, iris and hostas to exchange; however, I do not know the colors of any. Because of my dog, children and chickens, all labels were scrambled last year.

Okay, one final question, just so I have EVERYTHING clear I assume by whole plant, you mean a division, and a cutting would be, just that, a cutting off of a plant. Right? Let me know if I have it right or completely wrong! Thanks, Jacquie

yes cuttings are a cutting off a plant.Some plants are easier to root than others so some may want their cuttings rooted already is why I asked if someone wants a preferance.
Dianne...all those are great for exchange.
