Got ya. I will watch for your list.

Brandon's Want List - updated 5/6 - 6 years ago

Cuttings or small rooted plants of known-cultivar mulberries. I already have "Dwarf Everbearing", but would like anything else as long as you know which cultivar it is. Any known-cultivar osage orange. Thornless cultivars would be extra dreamy. I will be shocked if anyone has this, but I can always hope. 1-gallon (trade gallon) or about that size nursery pots. I prefer injection

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 2/13 - 6 years ago

I don't think I will need it, Frances, but don't count on it yet.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 2/13 - 6 years ago

Frances, I looked and did find a tiny one. It's about an inch tall. I will monitor it when spring gets here to see if it makes it though the winter.

Fall 2018 ETPS - 7 years ago

Attendance was down a little this fall. We had 22 attendees. We also had very few people stay for lunch. I guess we will either not have lunch next fall, or try some other way of doing it. It's a shame that a few people take the time to make stuff and then no one wants to stick around long enough to socialize a little and enjoy the food. I know some people have things that they have to d

Re: Karin's Want List - 7 years ago

Unfortunately, something has eaten every maypop fruit. I looked around on the ground to see if there was anything left, but found nothing at all. There were a bunch of fruits just the other day, but nothing now. Sorry.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 9/25 - 7 years ago

Mary, catch me early at the swap so we can figure out which kind you want (before they get away). I think I still have at least one of all three types.

Re: Karin's Want List - 7 years ago

OK, I will see what I can come up with.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 9/25 - 7 years ago

Suzanne, you got it! LOL, Frances. The problem with me keeping it inside is that I water my inside plants about once every 3 to 4 weeks. Almost all my plants are succulents and cacti. I don't think a pitcher plant would make it. You could come over and build me a bog.

Re: Karin's Want List - 7 years ago

I wish I had know you wanted maypops, yesterday. I could have got you a bunch. I might still be able to get you some seeds if you wanted to grow them from seed. One thing about maypops that you need to know is that they can be extremely aggressive in decent soil. They will quickly take over if happy. I have just a few left in a fencerow, growing along with the grass in poor clay soil. I don&

Re: Brandon's Want List - 7 years ago

Awesome, Suzanne. I sent you a messenger message back.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 9/25 - 7 years ago

Yay Frances LOL. I will bring you the zig zag cactus. I left all my bog plants at my old house (in the bog). I don't have a bog at my new house, yet. One of these days......

Food for the Pot-Luck Meal - 7 years ago

I think we will be bringing 2 types of mini sandwiches (ham & beef). What's everyone else gonna bring?

Re: Leigh have list 9/12/18 - 7 years ago

Leigh, I don't know why no one else is posting this year. We do have some lookers and quite a few people on Facebook that say they are coming. If you don't get a response, don't give up. Just bring what you have to the swap. I am pretty sure we will have at least 20 swappers. Our average for fall swaps is about 25 to 30 (last year 27, year before 31).

Re: Brandon's Have List - 7 years ago

Hey Martha, Do you have a type/size preference for the hibiscus? I have taller (7') red ones (species) with normal colored green leaves or shorter (4') red ones (hybrid cultivar) with darker foliage.

Brandon's Want List - 7 years ago

1-gallon (trade gallon) or about that size nursery pots. I prefer injection-molded pots or thermoformed/co-extruded/euro pots, but I could also use the old standard blow-mold type pots if they are in good condition (they deteriorate more quickly in sunlight, when left out). I got a few this spring, but am using almost all of those to plant stuff for this swap.

Brandon's Have List - updated 9/25 - 7 years ago

Catalpa bignonioides (Southern Catalpa) - 1-gal. seedlings - Native tree, large tropicalesque leaves, great for honey bees. Cephalanthus occidentalis (Button Bush) - 2.5 gallon - Large native shrub that loves moist conditions. Epiphyllum anguliger (Fishbone / ZigZag Cactus) - Small succulent houseplant. Taken - Frances. Euptelea pleiosperma - small seedlings - These seedlings are very if

Spring 2018 ETPS - 7 years ago

Thanks to everyone who came out to the swap yesterday. The weather was great and we had a good turnout. If our count was correct, we had the second highest attendance on record. I think we had 58, although counting swappers is about as hard as herding cats. I was able to find homes for 100% of what I brought, so that was good. Thank you to everyone that helped. Amy, one of our local Master

Re: Kim C's List - List update May 5 - 7 years ago

If The Shrub Identification Book by George W.D. Symonds is not taken, I'd be interested.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 4/8 - 7 years ago

Ashley and KimC, I have your requests reserved.

Re: potluck? - 7 years ago

I think we are going to bring cold-cut sandwiches.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 4/8 - 7 years ago

Laura, I will put you down for one of each type of tomato. I really don't need a greeting card.

Re: potluck? - 7 years ago

YES!!!! We are still having the potluck. We probably need to start thinking about what everyone is bringing, although I am still not sure what we will bring.

Re: Karin's Want list - 7 years ago

Karin, I will have Roma tomatoes and jalapeno peppers.

Re: Traci's Have List - (edited 4/30) - 7 years ago

I'd be interested in a Strawberry Mint. I used to have one, but it died.

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 4/8 - 7 years ago

MaryS, I got most of your requests covered. Traci, the Tennessee Gardeners magazines are yours. Frances, I may end up with a couple of roselles for you. They don't seem to be "flying off the shelf", for some reason.

Re: Samantha's Haves - 7 years ago

Samantha, are your hostas named cultivars? If so, do you know their names?

Re: Brandon's Have List - updated 4/8 - 7 years ago

Got ya down, Samantha.
