Dahlias for Dahlias

Is anyone interested in a dahlia trade (tubers only)? Dahlias for Dahlias?

I cant send them out till early April (maybe March if we get another warm streak), but I thought it would be fun to see if anyone is interested and if so, we could also do a round robin type format to get lots of variety.

Please post here if you are interested and I will get a list out to you.

Think Spring! It is close, the birds know it ; )

    I am still thinking but not sure. I do have some tubers. I really love dinner plate dahlias.

    btw what are the rules? How it would work?

    Hi Jas_IL

    I would love you to trade with us. The rules: really relaxed. You would send me your tubers and postage to send the box back to you, and you would get the same number back. I will try to fufill requests for colors and sizes but no promises. I do have 4-5 dinner plate sized dahlias so send me over your list on a PM and I will reply back with a list of what I have... you can then decided if you want to trade.

    Paperfinch- please send over your trade list.

    Hi Ya�ll!

    We have enough people to do a round robin (and hopefully will get more!)

    Here are the details:

    Please send me your list of tubers and the qty you are trading by March 1st.
    It is really important that you do not drop out after I have the lists, fellow members will be counting on your wonderful offers!

    I will compile a list of what is available and send it back out to all of you. Please let me know your top 4 tubers you would like the MOST and I will try MY BEST to accommodate those requests. You can add more than 4, like colors and types you prefer but I cannot promise anything.

    I will ask you send me your tubers by March 15th so I can divvy them up and get them sent back out to you by the 20th. (If you send me 10, you will get at least 10 back!) If the weather is wicked cold during that time, I will push back this date and keep you all in the loop.

    You will need to send enough postage to send your original box back to you (I am thinking the USPS small flat rate postage box is the best way to send these to me and back to you). You can enclose either cash, a postage meter strip or stamps for the trip back home to you.

    If you have any questions please PM me or post me (thread specified below), I want this to be fun and exciting. This is an awesome way to grow our collections and meet fellow dahlia lovers.

    Think Spring!
