Thanks, SW. Completely forgot about it, I was visiting them a few months ago)

Hi Pat, did you get sorted? Let me know if you didn't and I could send you some bits of roots from one of my plants. They root very easily for me in a small pot of compost. I took about 12 at the end of the summer and I think they've all come up.

I've just come across this: https://irishseedsavers.ie/2022/02/15/community-seed-exchange-2022-march-6th-12-to-4pm/

(I've no affiliation with the company whatsoever, I was just looking at their website and came across it).

Hi all,

Through a series of unfortunate events I've managed to kill my San Marzano seedlings this year. It's getting too late to resow and the only place to buy plugs seems to be the UK which won't ship here.

I love San Marzanos; I can them every year and use them all year to make sauces.

Does anyone in the Dublin area or surrounds have any SM plants for sale?

Hiya, are these still available?

Would love a couple of oaks and horse chestnuts to plant if they’re still going?

Thanks

Sorry, but no, all gone to new homes.

Can anyone please recommend a nice colourful flower/plant for a small ish pot (bout 16 inches tall and 12 inch diameter).

patio is bright but wouldn’t get a massive amount of direct sunlight.

something perennial (comes back year after year)

everythning I seem to put in just dies after one summer

looksee · 29-04-2022 8:02pm

Colourful and shade and perennial is a bit limiting.

Campanula, astilbe, heuchera (though that has colourful leaves rather than showy flowers), hosta. You might be better with a small shrub such as hebe or pieris.

What have you tried that failed?

Edit - you are not really in the right thread for this, you would be better posting a new thread just for this topic.

Ms2011 · 30-04-2022 9:45am

I have a fuchsia in similar condition and it's doing well.

Just a little pedantry; horse chestnuts aren't native.

I know that, I didn’t say they were native?

magicbastarder · 30-04-2022 4:48pm

The post you quoted did, should have clarified that was what I was referring to.

I have a large shrub and would like to give it away . Is there a swap in Dublin where someone could perhaps take it .

Unfortunately , it wasn't very well looked after over the years .it did revive after some a hard pruning last year but I have no place for it as I am rebuilding the front yard.

Anyone know of anywhere with Drosera (Sundews) in stock? Can find any and would love a couple (looking for plants not seeds)

Johnstown Garden centre had several kinds of insect eating plants recently, including Sundews.

Thanks, tried them yesterday though and out of stock unfortunately

I have a good few very healthy tomato plants that I want to dispose of and having been held up on other seedlings would swap for lettuce/spinach/cabbage seedlings if anyone interested..

looksee · 27-08-2022 10:21pm

Does anyone have a honeysuckle Lonicera Japonica Aureoreticulata that they would let me have a few cuttings of please?

Its this one with the net pattern in the leaves.

Its available in England but none of the firms will send to Europe/Ireland, and I cannot find anyone stocking it in Ireland, or in Europe that supplies to individuals.

If anyone knows of a nursery in Ireland selling it I would be delighted to know.

Looking for up-to-date Organic Leek Seeds to grow now.

Have Winter Spinach seeds to swop for them.

By post.

milout · 03-05-2023 8:17pm

I know this section is fairly dormant, however if anyone is Galway based I've a few tomato and aubergine young plants ready to be planted into their final pot / bed.

I've also a Persian pickling cucumber plant going spare.

Tomatoes are black cherry, gardeners delight and pink brandywine if I remember correctly.

magicbastarder · 07-05-2023 4:06pm

two of these to give away - they were in our garden and dying, but a few years ago i unceremoniously dug them up and dumped them in pots, and it seems to have been exactly what they wanted. general glasnevin area, to whomever might want them. probably many decades old, IIRC the chap who bought this house in 1988 said they were there when he got here.

My request for Lonicera Japonica Aureoreticulata, I got one from Poland, but then (in an overlap of events) got one from a local nursery that didn't have any on display but had them in their growing area. So now I have two, both doing well!
