You have e-mail. Thanks. Anne

token: Thank you so much for the offer but I think I will wait to find the exact one I am looking for. By the way, I think your cottage sounds charming! Libby: What I meant was that I am having a hard time finding the double hollyhocks---Summer Carnival or Chaters----sold other than as a packet of seeds in mixed/all colors. I want either just pink or just the yellow---not all. The Appleblossom you mentioned sounds lovely! Thank you for telling me the difference between Summer Carnival and Chaters. :)

Okay, here's my list! As you can see it's a real mix of veggies, herbs, and annual and perennial flowers. :-) (BTW - the formatting of posts sure leaves a lot to be desired in terms of flexibility and formatting it the way you want to! Oh well, hopefully it's legible.)

Ceresone - I apologize for not responding to this post. I hadn't been checking in here very often since it had slowed down so much. I had a VERY DRY summer. I'm sure I didn't water as much as I should've but it's hard to keep up. Sounds like you've stored up a lot of food for the winter. You're making me feel lazy. lol Do you have a pretty good salsa recipe? My father always puts out WAY too many tomatoes and we experimented with making our own salsa this summer but didn't find a recipe we love yet. I still don't have a real veggie garden but I mix in a few things every year with my flowers and shrubs in different places in my yard. I had a nice patch of cherry tomatoes and red salvia. lol I planted watermelons along the edge of my mulch pile again and they did well. The second setting didn't get to finish though. I had to toss dozens of little green watermelons hoping the larger ones would finish. I wonder if there's a good use for those. I tried Big Max pumpkins but they DIDN't do so well. The squash bugs really went after them and some kind of white foamy looking stuff oozed out of the base of my pumpkin vines shortly before they croaked. I had to buy my Halloween pumpkins this year and I'm already planning to buy pumpkins next year too. I planted Vidalia onions and banana sweet peppers too. The rabbits (I think) zoned in on my sweet peppers but I did finally get a few. Violet gave me a couple yard long bean plants to try that she had started from seed. REALLY easy to prepare since my kids thought they were cool when I left them long.
