I was really hoping the D-4 category would be some other part of SW OK, but we got less than a tenth of an inch from those storms last week so I'm not surprised it's here. I'm barely over the line into D-4, so I guess it could be worse. Grandfield hasn't had a tenth of an inch of rain in 167 days! Leslie

Turnout wasn't spectacular, what -- about 10 friendly and very generous traders? But it was enough to get me, who needs no more plants (ho ho ha ha ;-) into trouble with several new-to-me plants to play with. Has a date been set for the Manchaca fall swap?
