Mukdenia! Cool. I will make room for it, Seedrat.

Oerikson, nearly all of the tomatoes are blooming now. I have never seen them grow so big so fast. So I am greedy. That's why I planted them tightly. 😃😀😅 I may get you one of those hats, love. I am talking my niece into meeting me in Japan next April and asking her to bring me the hats from Thailand. Hahaha.

Happy need not to apologize. They will look good in your garden. I have too many goodies I am still planting them.

Update- there are bulbs with Jasmine and Luvtogarden names. There is also black pot with what seems to be phlox and obedient plants.

If this is dictamnus, it is rare plant.

It looks like dictamnus to me. They're so lucky!

They should save seeds for Oerickson to plant and bring to the next swap Smiling

It's a trickier seed to start so they should definitely send the seed to Oerickson (do you like how I volunteered you for this? Smiling ) although that list included some things that worked just fine for me with wintersowing so hopefully without too much effort there will be babies!

(if you click, the photo is readable)

If they don't get out by that plant often, when the seed heads are still green they could tie some cheesecloth or pantyhose scrap around the seedhead to catch the seeds before they fall.

Oerickson, is there a particular brand of wall-of-water you recommend, or think are NOT good quality? I'm finally going to buy some, for next year!

oerickson, I've been able to find homes for the majority of the extra tomato plants that I brought back from the swap. I'm trying to find sunny spots in my yard for the rest (can't let good plants die Sad ) I was able to identify most of the tomatoes from the tags, but I have two plants with the same tag that I cannot make out (potato leaf plants). Any idea what these are?

and I couldn't find info on this one anywhere. Is it Turmalin or am I misreading?

Oerickson, I was wondering about the Altai Productive you recommended. I tried to look it up but there's just Gregory's Altai. Can you give a little more info/post a link? I don't even know what color it will be! Thanks!

Mickey, Still interested in Bleedingheart? I have decided one white Bleedingheart can go to your garden. I may dig it up today if it does not rain too heavily. I also have a few small pink seedlings that I mentioned to you at the swap. They have since grown a bit bigger.

Linea, Are you still interested in Verbena bonariensis? They were only tiny specks when the plant swap took place, but now they have grown enough to be lifted. Please swing by if you come this way. I am off the Kennedy. You either take the Austin exit if you come from the suburb or Montrose if you come from downtown Chicago.

Turmalin yes, other two are "unknown" means either label fell off or seed fell off so I could not ID. Potato leaf? Both plants? Off the top of my head- Black Magic, Indian Stripe PL, HoneyDrop cherry, Liz Birt PL, Korshun Ogromnyi/ large heart/, also some Novcherkasskiy/spp./ from Tatiana Tomatobase was giving me some RL and some PL. Old variety but something was going, I spoke to Tania about it. http://tatianastomatobase.com/...
