Here’s to all the plants I’ve loved and lost and left behind . . . .
Skyridge Farm is planning a Plant Swap. BAP/TAP: Bring a Plant/Take a Plant. This will include seeds. These items are preferably perennials, free of any pest or disease issues. The last of September to the middle of October is the best time in Oklahoma to dig up/divide established plants suitable for trade such as Canna, Iris, Daylily, Clematis, vines etc.
Here is a list of plants I have available. These are a beautiful collection of hardy herbs and shrubs I have in six inch pots ready to go. I also have a Scented Geranium collection and some beautiful plants that will overwinter in your house such as lemon verbena, sweet lavender. I’ll post some locations and times for swapping. Let me know what you are in search of ISO and what you have to offer. This should be fun (she said).

Let me know as soon as you see something you want to claim. I’ll put your name on it and let you know it’s yours. I will pick a day and time and location to trade. But please private message me in the meantime! Here on Messenger or e mail me at arndtmonica@yahoo.com
