If you have any of these plants and could send a cutting, my mom (Sage) and I would be willing to barter or pay postage!
Curly (Curling) Willow
Grape Vine (Concord or maybe other eating varieties/canning)
White Honeysuckle
We could set up a trade, just let us know what you might be looking for. Between the two of us we might have what you want or need!

I don't have any of those Alee..the lone grape vine that I do have in my yard has not done too well the last couple of years for some reason...(maybe it will make up for it when I get it transferred to more southern soil..ha)but hubby still wants me to dig it up soon and take it with us..it is a waist high Niagara type I do believe.
I do hope you can find the varieties you are looking for. you know ebay is sometimes a good place to find cuttings and plants for cheap too.

Hi alee. Have you also tried listing on craigslist you want to trade for some? They have a barter section in your city listing . You might have a local "cheapcycle " group too. It is like free cycle cept you can say you want to barter for items.

Kate; Is the honeysuckle that you have a heavy perennial vine. I'm interested in it if it is the perennial vine. Thanks. Sage :)

I think you just cut a growing branch and put them in water until they root? You Extension office agent should be able to help out though.

I have grape vine. I don't know the variety. Green grapes, my children go crazy eating them! They do have seeds.
Perhaps I could dig up a cutting. |

Deb- I'll tell my mom to check in on this thread- She's the one that wants the grapes. Are they sweet or sour?

Deb; I would love a cutting of the grape vine. The greenhouses don't have any right now and I don't want to wait until next year to get one started. What would you like in exchange. Sage:)

Alee, My girls are telling me that they "think" they're sour.... they can't remember from last year. I'll ask hubby when he gets home tonight.

Pam, oh, I don't know. Something little. Surprise me.
Send me your address. I'll see if I can dig up a piece today. We got a nice rain last night so the ground should be easy to work.

Deb; Sending you my address and please get yours to me so I can mail a little surprise package. The sour grape varieties are great for making jelly. Thanks Sage :)

Deb; Thanks so much! I am very excited because the little grape vine arrived yesterday and is now in my garden. I hope it will grow enough to eventually cover my ugly fence and give us some grapes. Your package will go out tomorrow. Sage :)

Society garlic is a clump-forming herbaceous perennial with narrow, grayish green leaves and large clusters of lavender or lilac flowers. The plant looks like an especially showy garlic or garlic chives plant. Society garlic has just 4-9 grasslike leaves, each about a foot long and a half-inch wide. The leaves grow straight up out of a swollen underground rhizome that looks like a corm or bulb. A single 2 ft (0.6 m) scape (flowering stalk) grows up from the center of the rosette of leaves. Atop the scape sits a large umbel (flower cluster in which all the pedicels (flower stems) originate from the same point) of sweet-scented lilac-pink flowers. The flowers are tubular, expanding to six pointed stars at their ends. They are a little less than an inch long and wide, and there are 8-20 of the dainty little flowers in each umbel. The blossoms are produced sporadically from early summer until late autumn. The leaves and rhizomes of society garlic smell like garlic, but the flowers are sweet, smelling like hyacinths, and some people say they are too sweet! The cultivar, 'Silver Lace' (a.k.a. 'Variegata') has larger flowers and leaves with cream stripes. 'Tricolor' has pink and white variegations.
The leaves taste like garlic as you chew them and have a pleasant spiciness! I cooked a shoulder of lamb with them and it was amazing!
