WANTED: London/Woodstock/St. Thomas /Strathroy Plant swap
Comments (99)Hi Jeff, great to see you are joining the group. I have very little to offer since my gardens are only on their second year but mostly wanted to attend for the socializing. Quite a few of us met last year at Deb's house for the swap. We are glad to have you aboard and I think with Signet hosting, we are in for a real treat. She's going to show us "Hosta Choice Gardens" near her home but even better we get to see her vast array of plants she has collected and nurtured. As for me, I don't know that I have anything you might like but if you have an extra Kentucky Coffee Tree seedling, I'd be happy to take one off your hands. Just an aside Jeff...I'm still hoping for those bladdernut seeds to sprout. My wintersowing didn't do well at all and those pots that did sprout are only just sprouting now so I really don't see the benefit of doing the wintersowing at all. Barb...See MoreHAVE: 3rd Annual Plant swap London, Woodstock , Sarnia ,
Comments (150)Hi Rosco p ....good to hear from you ! Only time it is too late to join is the day after the swap LOL !. Up till then it's all good. I look forward to meeting you too ....since we have done some great swaps. When you are ready ...go ahead and post what you have available to swap. If possible if you could contact Knottyceltic directly ( there is a link above in one of her posts) so she can add you and if you are bringing your spouse and/or children she can add them to the list as well. I ask that when you come you bring a chair for yourself and each person accompanying you as I dont have adequate seating for everyone , Lots of room just not enough chairs . Also dont forget about the Gambler's circle. This is done at the end of the swap..any extra gardening items you have (plants ,seeds, magazines,etc bring them along for trading in the gamblers circle ...it is a put one take one kind of arrangement......you never know what you might find in the gambler's circle that you just cant live without LOL ! If you see anything from my lists above that you might like ....let me know and I will pot some up for you . SHARRI: I dont know if the bugle boy you have is the same as mine so I would like to work a trade with you for one . What might you like from my list for one of your plants ?please let me know . TO ALL : I am adding to my swap list. I have one small trade of pink forgetmenots Star of Bethlehem ( lots ) Penstemmon Husker's Red Achillea "The Pearl" ( lots) . I have also got a big container of Poppy seeds that I would be glad to take some out of for someone ( this was bought as a big bag and is commercial seed). I have one container of Mykes Growth supplement which is actually an organic microorganism that helps plants develop nice healthy roots fast . I have 3 small pots of Elephant Ears with One bulb in each . Let me know if you are interested. Rottweilergirl, Earlebyrd , and Lovem ...are you still interested in participating ? We would love to have you join us ! If you dont have plants to trade, dont worry , see Knottyceltic's list of alternative swap items .. We have a good time , good eats and good plants so I sure do hope you will join us ....it is a good way to add to your gardens with little to no cost except for some items that you might normally throw away . I thought of another item that might be a great swap item .....string/ or strips of material ....for tying up plants such as tomatos ....... Hey speaking of tomatos .....does anyone have any veggies to swap ? or annuals ? I would be interested. I am also looking for Garlic Chives ....does anyone have any to swap ? I would love some Amaranthus or Kiss me over the Garden gate too. Anyone have any to swap ? Signet...See Morehave: 3rd annual plant swap **london,sarnia,woodstk** part 3

Comments (238)Did anyone bring rue, Ruta graveolens? That looks like another possibility. If you put on disposable gloves or something else to keep the sap off your hands, you can test it. Crush a few leaves, and if it is rue, you will notice a strong, unpleasant smell. The hand protection is necessary because the sap of rue leaves could cause a rash. Your plant also looks like Corydalis lutea, but for me the seedlings bloom the first year wherever they pop up....See MoreDottersccv
