2013 SEED/PLANT/GARDENING SWAP

[rbaker0345]

Okay, I'm back, I was in a funky funk over getting laid off from both of my jobs, but a good gardener never says "die".

Current Offer:

1. Ornamental Ginger hardy from zone 7-11
very fragrant and grows from the same kind of rhizome that edible ginger grows from

2. Spearmint: Grows in zones 5-9


3. Ruellia dwarf pink, purple, white- not sure which you'll get because they aren't flowering right now.

​

4. I can do a largish Amaryllis bulb

I also have sugarsnap pea and a mix of heirloom bean seeds,

I will continue adding as I notice stuff that can be divided.

 

[rbaker0345]

Do I owe somebody a plant? I feel like I do, but I didn't write it down.

 

[mlongworth]

I am almost done with my seeds still have a few things that arent ready yet but i have a lot put back. Hopefully i can get it done this weekend and get this swap going again. I allready have a small list of things i need for next year.

 

[mlongworth]

Hey renee let me know if your offer is still good im ready to start swapping again. If its not thats ok i will put one up to get going again. Im gonna swap tomorrow so let me know.

 

[rbaker0345]

Its still good. Pick something, lets get this going again.

 

[mlongworth]

Would you happen to have any lemon mint ready?

 

[rbaker0345]

No, I would have to root it for you, but I have found the key to getting it to root. I can't root it in water or in my hydroponic rooting machine, I just have to snip it and dip it in some hormone and put it in some soil and keep it semi-moist. It would take me about 2 wks to get a plant going that I would feel comfortable shipping.

 

[mlongworth]

I would be ok with waiting for it if you are its the only kind i didnt get from you yet. Let me know and i will get my offer up.

 

[rbaker0345]

That's fine, I'll get some rooting today
