Jasmine, Happy Gardener, I'll have to see about the Blue Globe Thistle. They might be pretty small. I might only have what first year seedlings I can find. Last year was the first time I remember my plant really making seeds.

Hello Gardeners!
We made it through another year, yippee! Unfortunately, I will not be able to help set up this year, I have a conflict that day. BUT, with a bit of luck, I hope to stop by in the afternoon on my way back from Racine, WI.
Great offers, and I am hoping I can beg the following:
LinneaL - Blue Globe Thistle
HazelCrest Mike - Hellebores, Prince of Orange Poppy seedlings- Mike if it helps, maybe Mone and I can take a ride out again.
Suzy in Skokie - Tropical Milkweed Seeds
Michael2R - 1 Blush and 1 Bronze Torch tomato plants.
My time has been VERY insane thus far this year. My 89 yr old sister has had a surge of medical issues. Back in the hospital for a 2nd time within a month. Tomorrow I get to check out rehab/nursing homes in the Glenview area. If anyone has suggestions, feel free to contact me. My digging time is limited. I finally started a few tomato plants which are just getting their true leaves. Just hope to be able to plant.
So, I know these are popped up if anyone would like.
Muscari
Stella D'Oro daylilly
Columbine (might be orange or blue - they spread all over)
I know there's more, but my brain is like jello right now. Thanks everyone! Let's keep those hands dirty!

Thank you Michael. Prayers are truly needed. She just can't comprehend why she can't go home, no matter what I say, it all gets twisted up.

Hey Thea- nice to have you back this year! Hope all last year's goodies worked out for you.

Let the Sunshine already! Hurray!

[quote="Jasmine"] Linnea, may I have Blue Globe Thistle please if you have any extras?

I should have enough. It will be a cluster of seedlings. But they grow quickly.

What does Star Sedum look like? Google showed me all sorts of differently colored flowers. I'm looking for some short sedums.

Do you still have the Golden Creeping Jenny?

Anyone want any garlic? I realized today that there's a lot more than I realized. I've potted up 2 clusters but there could be more.

I started growing it for the interesting seed heads, after seeing them in a table arrangement at an art museum. I don't know when to harvest it, because I don't eat it, or eat only the greens.

Chives - Do you know if they are garlic chives, onion chives, or another variety?

No idea! They are not chives. I got them from someone who also grew them for the curly seedheads. But when I googled garlic flowers, it looks like hardneck garlic makes those.

@Linnea
Star sedum looks like this. It stays green and when bloom has yellow blooms. It's a ground cover so just creeps on the ground.

Hello all -- happy spring 2022!!
As for my requests - I only need some tomato seedlings. Hopefully around 20 total. (I saw three people that are offering tomatoes, so maybe a few from each of you, depending on what you have....I prefer non-cherry types, a variety of colors, but one cherry plant is fine and the rest full size.)

note: this is updated list 5/12/2022

What I have to offer (perennials mostly, and a few houseplants):

Dill seedlings

Zebra Grass (perennial, gets very tall) (2)
Tall Perennial Grass – green leaf w/white stripe down center (3)

Bearded Iris – bright Yellow flower (2) -- [note: I split the 2 pots into 5 smaller pots, so each person who wanted one, gets one...but now I am out of it for this year (will likely have more next year)]

Bearded Iris – pale Yellow / dusty purple flower (8) -- still have plenty left at this point (5/12/22)

Coreopsis (lance leaf) (2)
Forget-Me-Not (several plants)
Phlox – purplish-pink flower color (4 small pots)
Sun Drops (12 small pots)
Milkweed – common variety (4)
Shasta Daisy (3 large pots, 8 medium pots)
Purple Columbine (4 small pots)
Black Eyed Susan (4 small pots)
Grass Lily (lots)
Rose of Sharon (3) (babies)
Locust Tree (very small saplings) (5)
Hosta – Tiara family – medium-small, rounded form, yellowish leaf (3)
Hosta – standard green leaf with white border (Hosta Albomarginata) (13)
Hosta – large plant, mounding form, dark green leaf with ribbing on leaves, (Hosta Ventricosa) (7)

Houseplants: Jade plants – babies (several) ; Aloe Vera (2)
