FOURTH ANNUAL BIGZIOS WI CHEESEHEAD CHICKENSTOCK THREAD!

[zeke]

Now here is a good example...since the garlic is last year's (I am assuming here) and you probably have planted all you can use, it would be a great white elephant gift! I am sure there would be some folks that would steal that...it also could be a raffle prize.

You r so right TERRY! I have never grow garlic and would love to get my hands on some along with a short note on how to plant it, growing hints, harvesting, and storage. BRING ON THE GARLIC! Hope we can make it!!!!!

X2 on the garlic.

Terri, are you planning to bring goslings to the Bash? you have Toulouse, right? Julie and I are wanting some.

 

[chikenscratch]

Does anyone have black currants, red choke berry, gooseberry, rasp/blackberries, ground cherry, asparagus, ramps, rhubarb (that actually gets red and grows pretty tall), bridal wreath, honeyberry, or blueberries that they'd like to pass on????

I'd be willing to accept any of these!!!!!

 

[Amyable]

I've got raspberries, ground cherries (as bad as weeds they are) and maybe a couple roots of rhubarb. Have anything to trade? We usually take requests and bring what we can and everyone shares what they got.

 

[chikenscratch]

Amyable-that sounds great! Are you looking for herbs, perennial flowers, veggies, etc? It will help to narrow down a bit on the listings. Some things I have to wait and see if they survived the drought.

 

[Amyable]

CS, all of the above?

I love plants. What kind of herbs do you have? I think I should try to take it easy on perennials this year so I don't have to dig too many new beds while pregnant! (she says as she fills bators and broodies with eggs)

 

[Celtic Chick]

Amy, I would absolutely love some ground cherries if you are able to dig some out?

Did your lamb's ears survive? I could bring those or some irises?

 

[Amyable]

I do believe the lambs ears is fine, although since nothing is growing yet I can't be sure. They did well after I transplanted them. I am positive I can bring ground cherries, those buggars are impossible to eradicate! The most prolific self-sowers I've ever seen. Good thing is they're easy to pull out.

I have white Echinacea but I'm not sure uf it is ready to divide, purple echinacea, sage, spearmint, i hope the thyme survived the drought, and rosemary. I also have lemon balm.

I also would love a bunch of ground cherries. I am planting on the ravine slope.
Did your lamb's ears survive? I could bring those or some irises? I'd love some irises and lambs ear if you are needing to divide.
