I bet those will take off so fast when replanted it will make heads spin

glad they survived the trip

by the way why where you worried about them?

mike

I've seen some of the Goji Berry plants offered for sale out there.

i have never so when i got these and i have had them for a few months i think they will be nice there not the biggest but they where not 10-20$$ either. I was pleased that the grower cut me a deal on 10 and with whipping could offer them for 6.95 they cost me out of pocket 6.72 i figured the few cents mark up could help cover my time in watering these things every other day!!


again this is a plant that Wil and i said yea lets get 2 for our yard and again my heart broke when someone asked if i had any left so i sold both of mine

so for you all that wounder what plants i ended up with from this co-op

10 Lilly of the Vally
1 garden lily
total glads 34
2 raspberry bushes
3 asparagus roots ( no idea what kind found them on the floor )
1 dead clem noId tag and it was tore up from shipping


AND A WHOLE LOT OF PACKING AND SHIPPING RECEIPTS) LOTS OF GARBAGE SORE BACK AND FEET AND A PARTNER SHAKING HIS HEAD IN DISBELIEF BUT IS GLAD THAT ONE IS OVER . NOW IF I CAN JUST GET THE TROPICAL ONE RE-LISTED CORRECT AND TAKE CARE OF ALL THE REST OF THE PLANTS ILL BE GOOD

MIKE

As I said, the Goji Berry plants look good.

How many of us were in this co-op? I think it was an awesome co-op and you did a marvelous job! Seems like an awful lot of work for you! And I, for one, am grateful that you do these and are willing to go to this much work and inconvenience for us!!

And get us such GREAT prices in the bargain! Still can't believe the prices on those clems!

there where 40 ish i say is due to i had 5 people doing business threw tree mail asking for other plants also special ones for just humming birds/bees those kind of things that i could not bulk buy and price while still good im going to list unless i feel great about prices and supplier others we take more risk.

the clems we where lucky i bought what i did way back few months ago if i would not have reserved them 2 months before the shipper even got them they would have been sold out but when i saw some of the doubles and price i gambled that you all would love them vrs some just plain old ones. and fyi that TIE DYE i was told it was new one they carried i didnt look at the price till i got the invoice i sold them for less then they cost me..how is that for not using my head!!!

im am getting names and pics of hardy geraniums for tropical co-op did not even know the had them so go over and look ill have price and availability tomorrow or Monday but these will be small and great price


mike

Uh oh, did you say geraniums? Eeeek! Hey, what about passifloras? Sigh, I'm afraid my Incense is toast.

posted the hardy ones yes i will check passifloras there are so many of them and usually are a bit expensive any idea of variety's or amount everyone would like??

mike

Got both my boxes, great job packing and all the plants but one look good. Hoping clem Elsa perks up soon. Thanks Mike, have a few questions will send tree mail when feeling better. Been down for a couple of days now and hardly have energy to do anything.

We got our order

Mike, I got the box; and have planted them.
Thanks so much for your work in my first co-op. My friends and I are very happy with our plants; especially with the clems; now to keep them alive and thriving!

Thanks again, Betsy

I haven't been back over here till now, wanted to thank you for the dwarf gladiolus bulbs and lilies, got them planted and all are coming up nicely, am looking forward to seeing those shorter varieties of the gladiolus.

sorry it took so long to pay up I had completely forgotten about this coop and didn't ever come back to keep an eye out on the payment schedule. glad someone sent me a private message ;0)

Kathryn
glad you got your and planted hope the blooms are as great as i think they are going to be. Dont worries to much about slow payment i have a few people that have run into some money problems like I have. I decided to keep going on a few of my projects and wait to se if everyone remembers and i was going to start asking more for there payment i know i forget as much as other people do. So thanks to all for helping out.

I am still selling on the tropical thread making great deals!!! so you want something say something and lets make a deal. I have been told to wait till end of this week for my ADENIUM seeds and if they dont show they will resend and this time i will have my import permit for no problems!! so co-op is running a bit latter then i wanted it to.


thanks again everyone

Mike, my tiger lily bulbs seemed a bit soft and so far I'm not seeing any growth out of them. Did anyone else have a problem with theirs? Do you think they might still produce? I don't have a lot of experience with bulbs, so I'm just not sure. Not worrying about it cause everything else is just fine and my clematis were worth the cost of the entire order! Looking so good!

WELL

Lets ask I have not had anyone say anything about them. Have you planted them?

HAS ANY ONE HAD GOOD OR BAD WITH THE TIGER LILY BULBS????? PLEASE SPEAK UP!!!!

i know when they cam in i packed very fast and had 100's to pack but they seemed to be a bit small but i dont have any experience with lily bulbs. i have with a lot of other if you have not planted they have to be kept cool and dry. but i would suggests to anyone plant them. If it is to cold put in to pots till they can go out side ???

mike

I did the same with them as I did with the Oriental lily bulbs (which are already growing up nicely in their pots ), so they are in pots....well, grow bags. Everything is in my greenhouse, which stays around 50 deg, except for the trays on heat mats. Heh, easier to heat the trays than the whole GH. I've never bought tiger lily bulbs so I don't know what they should look like, but they seemed a bit soft and like layers were trying to peel off. Odd, I've never seen bulbs look like that. No biggie, and I'm not complaining, just looking for information.

a lot of bulbs act like an onion. they will peel a layer or two BUT soft is what bothers me but i have never bought them before. I got them from a big grower in Holland I would think they where good BUT i have had problems before hope someone that knows about it will tune in. If we find a problem with a lot of them i will contact the grower. just look at how many i bought we should have a good idea if the bulbs where bad or not.

Please let me know how everyone"s are doing.

i got NONE i did have 3 other lily bulbs and forgot i had them in the garage for 10 days then i found them and planted and they are coming up some now.

I planted my orange tiger lilies in the ground, despite the fact that our average last frost date is not until May 28th here. I guess I didn't notice if they were soft or not, but, I would think I would have noticed if they were too soft. Planted them the day after receiving them, and they are just poking their heads up now, although I just got a pickup load of aged manure from Sis, and topdressed them with a couple of inches, so they are buried again now. Our night temps have been down to the high teens lately, and they are still doing good it seems. Don't know if that helps any, but that's how mine are doing. However, the 3 clems that weren't showing any life, still are showing no improvement or signs of life, but the rest are wonderful!!
