Ditto the Thanks to everyone, especially Leslie for having us again. As I look around the garden, I see plants from former swaps that I would never have know about. Such a deal!

I've actually planted most of the shade plants already. Dessa, you've caused me to rethink a spot near the greenhouse - less to mow!!

Wonderful day - (what rain??)

Thanks Marie and Tammy for another great trade. I love the "venue"...lots of room and the clubhouse is ideal for getting in from the rain. Just perfect! Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. Thanks to all for the great plants and great company :-) I ended up spending way too much at the nursery where Tammy works on the way home, but the plants were so nice I couldn't resist. Tammy here is the recipe for the Heavenly Hash brownies (or Mississipi Mud cake as some call it) Brownie mix - bake in 9x13 pan as directed on box. (I used the Triple Chunk kind) 1 bag small marshmallows sprinkled on top after brownies come out of oven While brownies are baking heat to boiling the following: 1 stick butter 3 Tablespoons cocoa 6 Tablespoons milk Once it boils and is well mixed remove from heat and add: 1 lb of powdered sugar (about 3 3/4 cup) 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans) Stir to mix well and then pour and spread over marshmallows. If needed add a little bit more milk to make easier to spread. Cool before serving to give the chocolate a chance to set up.

I will second that! Annie thank you so much! Especially for the Iris that Kelly loves, she is beyond being thrilled about it and since it isn't raining today (thank goodness) she will be picking out a great spot for it. I told her, see how Annies are? You want to give it enough room so it does that it your yard. As long as you don't have awful people like us [ ;) ] asking you for pieces all the time, it will turn out to be a beautiful patch of spectacular irises. Now I am going to have to spend the summer looking for something beautiful to make up for it (but I quite sure I will have fun doing it, it doesn't look like you have white irises so that may be my mission--find a different iris for Annie. It was so nice to see everyone again (even under umbrellas) and meet new faces. Hope to see you all in the fall! Wendi and PJ (smart alec with the 'Hubby' name tag)

I hope the plants I brought does wonderful for everyone. If any have a problem with them, please let me know, and I will send a replacement!

Well, the thunder is just a rollin', so I am going to hurry up and speed through GW real quick, and then scoot!

Again, thanks so much. Thank you Leslie for hosting such a wonderful swap!

Blessings, Tina
