Oh, if we're doing thistles and dandelions, I could easily parcel up some couch grass roots for anyone interested ;D

I have sent out horseradish roots (which I consider just as bad a weed as couch and dandelions and thistles and bindweed...) to at least 6 different people ;D.

If the original poster still needs bamboo I have a LOT, not sure on how to post it tho?
Grows all over the place here, some over 20 foot high.
I'm in North Wales, not sure where original poster is located.

I once received some bare-rooted and wrapped in damp kitchen towel, then in a carrier bag. If you want to risk it I'd gladly send you some postage.

cheers

Whereabouts in North Wales? We scoot by there fairly often, and I've noticed my lovely bamboo is flowering so will need replacing pretty soon.. would rather give money/homebrew/plants to someone on here than a garden centre. :)

if your bamboo is flowering does that mean it will produce seed?

Yup, though it'll die shortly afterwards.. and I suspect it'll take a good few years for the seedlings to get up to 6 feet. Will try and grow a few babies, though, yeah.

Apologies to all concerned. I am now back in the UK. Unfortunately, due to the nature of my work I was sent abroad, and as a result was unable to follow up a number of the swaps that I was involved with. With respect to being send abroad, I have a legal obligation under certain circumstances to do this when instructed

For those that were messed around by this, I apologise profusely, and will rectify the imbalance.

I remember that I owe someone for some ginko, and passiflora edulus seeds, and would be grateful if they could provide their contact details again as I appear to have misplaced them.

I would also like to thank those that I have had successful swaps with.

Hello funplants. :) I'm so sorry that you had to go abroad.

I'd like to send you a PM but your inbox is full. Could you kindly empty your inbox please?

Thanks. :)

Tora · « **Reply #52 on:** January 23, 2009, 11:06:31 »

Tried funplants' e-mail address as well but got a delivery failure notice. :(

star · « **Reply #53 on:** January 23, 2009, 15:30:35 »

Oh well Tora, its not like you didn't try. It seems more unfair now because Funplants actually posted to apologise. Maybe gone abroad again, just to give benefit of the doubt :-\

It is a risk we all take when we do swaps, mostly everyone here is honest, its just a shame when someone gets 'stood up' so to speak :(

On the positive side........its good to see you back online ;)

There must be a logical explanation for this no one would go to the trouble of identifying themselves after all this time to disappear again so quickly, deliberately surely? .
Sounds to me like he is in the SAS or something if he has to disappear at the drop of a hat!

Come on Funplants sort yourself out, get someone else to see the swap through if you are unable

He might be in the TA :)

Then again he could be a secret agent :-\

Any more ideas ;D ;D ;D?

Just a bit of fun :)
