I have a friend in England I have traded with. Perhaps we could work something out if members here NEED something from you. I am currently not in the needy catagory -- that is unless . . . . .
you have access to . . . . .
Cloud Berries (Rubus chamaemorus) seeds or plant cuttings. I have been dreaming of (and seeking) a source for them for many years. Ask anyone here.

I saw on sale such seeds. It's them?

I have bought plants back from England, you can't bring soil back. The night before returning I bare rooted then in bathtub.

@Nyboy

I made that basket from willow. But I badly dried tree branches. These branches have given roots. I removed it and must do again.

This is done simply. It is necessary to draw a circle on the ground of the desired diameter. Then remove the sod inside. Cut the thick branches of willow, dry them and stick in the ground around the perimeter. Long branches are necessary for knobs. They need to connect. Then take a long, thin branches and weave between thick branches.
Earth must be loose. I planted a climbing rose and Impatiens.

You are quite an artist.

Cat, don't the two emoticons indicate Larisa is teasing Nyboy. If he thinks his smile and cute face will allow him to sneak illegal items in or out of any country it's all on him. Besides, the Nyboy I know is too smart for such a risk.

Yes, I believe those are what I'm looking for. Unlike Nyboy, I am an overly straight-laced (wussy) citizen. No way I'd carry his seeds or my own for that matter. Besides, I have no poker face. Despite my best efforts, my face would shout "SMUGGLER" to all and sundry.

Larisa, I'll have to do some thinking on the cloudberries. I really, really, really want to get some started here in South-est, central-est Wisconsin.
