Hi Ladies!

Can you believe that this year is half over already?!!! WOW!

It amazes me how fast time flies by anymore.

Well, I am hoping this month will run a bit better than June.

For those of you who didn't receive a June box, I am going to wait for one more week to see if your partners will come through. If not, I will make those boxes up to you.

Your partners will be dropped from this RR, and we will find you a replacement pal. This time however, if a newbie wants in, they are going to have to set up a trade with one of us before they will be able to join.

We'll get this all smoothed out.

Have a great 4th, and be safe!

Sending hugs to you all ~

Tina

Also - Lets try to have our boxes out by July 21st. Send with a Delivery Confirmation number. If you won't be able to send by the 21st, please let me know, or post.

Thanks Ladies!

I will be posting July Birthdays very shortly!!!

Here is the tovara that my pal sent me in June. It's growing so well and it has become one of my favs!

And here is a "peace" rose that looks like it must have a million petals, lol.

I thought I'd share since I finally got photobucket to work. (although I can't seem to get my photos to be any smaller than this!)

I received a pretty flower rain gauge, avon lotion which I love, A beautiful set of note pad, pencils and address book in a decorative box, a plastic craft organizer for my crafts, bug lotion with sunscreen- really need this!!, and a Buffalo Spree Magazine (garden issue). Thank you so much, I love everything. Amy

Ok guys, I am back. Had modem problems, had to have it replaced. First off I have not sent my box yet. Hubby gets paid today and it is going in the mail first thing in the morning, it is all ready to go just had to wait for money for postage and he only gets paid every 2 weeks. I have been in 2 different round robins where I didn't receive a box at all and I would never do that to someone else. I consider all of you my friends and while I may run slow at times I will get my box to you. Now second thing, I received the most wonderful box from my secret pal. We went to the mail house (my little girls name for the post office) and Kayla was absolutely delighted to see her name on the box with mine. We get home and get the box open to find, the most delightful smelling candle ( Strawberry shortcake), next we pull out passion fruit green tea (can't wait to try this), then doggie bones, so of course Kayla has to go right then and feed one to Lacey (our dog)who was thrilled since being an outside farm dog she doesn't get treats very often. Now finally we get to go back to the box, oohh a lovely bunch of christmas cactus (fuschia), I love these and I didn't have this color. Then Kayla spots something pink??? we pull it out and it is a beautiful set of bracelets for Kayla, it has 3 bracelets (pink, purple, and blue, her favorite colors) and letters that slide on the bracelet so you can make different words, So after a break to make her name on the pink bracelet we get to go look in the neverending box again. Ooooh a canna rhizome ("President") I love cannas and I didn't have this color either. Then I find another goodie, Hosta ("Antioch") another of my favorite plants and another I didn't have. Then last but certainly not least a lovely note tucked into the bottom of the box. i hope I didn't forget anything everything was so wonderful and I can't believe my secret pal knew me so well. This one box makes up for the other RR where I didn't get anything, THANK YOU SO MUCH SECRET PAL. Once again I promise my pals box will be in the mail in the morning and I have added a few extra goodies because of it being late. And I promise to do better next month. I love you guys and hope I didn't make anyone too mad at me. Hugs, Lisa & Kayla

Hey everyone! Long time and no post....sorry too busy starting nursing school. It sounds like everyone is getting great packages. Well I thought I would log on and drop a hint for my partner. I have a small hosta bed on my north side of my house and it is in total shade. They grow like crazy and I noticed it looks a little blah. I think it might be because I only have one type of hosta. Green with white edges. Sooooo....If my person would like to send me some different ones in blue-green and yellowish leaves or anything else that would grow in total shade that would be great! My campus has wi-fi so hopefully when I am really bored in class I can log on here and see what is happening. So everyone getting excited for bulb planting season? I know I am last year I planted 1000+ bulbs. I wonder how many I will get in the ground this year? With school and work I hope to add a few more. I know I am going to add more snow crocus to my lawn. I love seeing them pop through the grass in the spring. Little packets of white yellow and purple. They are the usually the first blooms I get this far north. Well I suppose I should get back to my homework!

Hi Girls -- I echo Michelle's sentiment about the USPS -- they STINK at this time of year. To be fair, the poor people are totally inundated, but that does not excuse sloppy, indifferent work. My cousin is a postmaster, and has told me stories that would curdle milk. The big problem is that the USPS hires temporary employees at Christmas and many of these people don't give a rat's patootie about whether they do a good job or not. My cuz told me a story about these two temps who were literally HURLING boxes through the air. Boxes that were no doubt marked fragile. And the sickening part is that the onus is put on the sender to pack the item well. Well, in my opinion, it doesn't matter how well you pack a box, it's not going to stand up to gorillas hurling it around. These uncaring, selfish people also are not careful about sorting packages correctly, which is why so many boxes (like poor Julie's) go missing. It is a disgrace. But -- if you will all forgive me if I sound preachy (I do not mean to be) -- you can't control what happens to you but you can control how you react to it. So lets all embark on our December partner swap with warm thoughts of friendship. If a box gets lost or delayed we will treat it as a flaw in the postal system, or a pause due to illness or personal circumstances, we will know in our hearts that things will be made right. We are so fortunate to have each other! If you think about it -- we are tremendously blessed. We are a group of people who (to the best of my knowledge) have not met each other, but are sharing joy and generosity and TRUST each month in our swap. My job takes me to many countries, and I have have personally experienced the sadness of poverty and the ugliness of hatred, which for most part does not exist here in the U.S. The trust and openness that we Hortiholics bring to each other is nothing short of miraculous. So here's to December! Speaking of which, I mistakenly posted my thanks to Erica on the December thread. After the fact, I realized that Erica was my November pal. Thank you so very very much, Erica, for the beautiful hand-crafted Soy Candles, potpourri and fun spinner you put into my box. It is evident you put a lot of love into everything. Hugs to you, and to all.

Cheater earthly, LoL Nancy - I wanted to tell you soooooooooo bad who your pal was because you loved your box so much. That is Maryannes signature. When my mom passed last year, she sent me a wonderful box with the "theme" of spiritual serentiy. She included a CD, 2 mini rose bushes, a pamplet, lots of things that was very soothing and calming. Kids are getting ready to go out. Caleb, of all things, is going as a "gothic barbie", Lain is going as a "Viking football player!!!", and James is going as "Spiderman" (only because his girlfriends dad is making him wear the costume, LoL). Caleb was wanting to g as a "dead hooker", whatever THAT would be, LoL. I told her that I was just going strap a matress to her back, and put a rope around her neck and call it good, HA! OK, time to get the ready for the ghosts and goblins, whahahahahahahahahahahaha Happy Halloween Everyone! Have a safe evening! Tina

Hello my garden hat wearing ladies, smiles!

It is SO GREAT to see the wonderful boxes arriving!

Deanie ~ Your family sounds like mine, LoL. Kids and dogs running everywhere! :-) I am so happy you received sich a wonderful box!

Julie ~ Your pics are beautiful! I have a tovara, but mine isn't fully variegated. It just has the red on it. I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. Your rose is lovely. I can smell it from here :-). Keep those gorgeous pictures coming.

Amy ~ Glad you received such a great box as well! missspoiled25 knows how to pack a box doesn't she!

I can't wait to hear what everyone receives for July!!!

Sue G. ~ I have e-mailed your pal. Hopefully I will hear back very shortly. I will be sure to keep you paired up with your secret pal that you send to, whether your sending pal stays in or not. We have one other gal who has not received, but likes who she sends to as well, so maybe we can work out something there. We'll make this right. IF I have to send you a box myself, you will get a JUNE box. You are such a great trader and just great in general :-).

I am going down the list of who has sent, who still plans to send, and who has just disappeared. Hopefully by this weekend, I will be able to have all of this straightened out.

Lisa (and Kayla :-)) Hope things are going better for you now. Your e-mail has "AVON" in it. Hmmm.... are you selling Avon? If so, maybe you should send me an e-mail and we should talk, smiles! I use to sell it way back, and I miss some of the products. Especially the hand and nail lotions and some of the facial creams.

My July box will be going out next week. Probably Wednesday if nothing don't happen.

It's so good to see ya'll posting. :-)

Have a wonderful night,
Tina

Tina,

I think you must be peeking in my window. I spent all day yesterday cleaning out and organinizing the freezer, fridge, pantry and the ultilty room food stockpiles. I got rid of some out of date food and divided what I had stocked up into boxes to give my daughter and her fiance. She is moving out tomorrow and they are getting married August 5th. She is my oldest (20 years) and I can't believe she is getting married already and leaving me. When did I get so old? I am going to try posting more often I feel like I haven't done my part around here. I just don't have many plants yet and my blooms are not nearly as pretty as you alls. Plus between trying to keep up with a 4 year old (Kayla) and organize a wedding, I still have to share the PC with my 16 year old son and my hubby. I took some pictures to share (not very goods one though) but someone will have to let me know how to do that. I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July.

Hugs,
Lisa & Kayla

PS I do still sell Avon just not as much this year as usual. Usually I sell at Honor Society but the past couple of years I haven't even made President's CLub. I'm hoping to start making some money with it again after Amber's wedding. Need the money badly areound here. LOL Let me know if you want anything I can even mail you a few books if you want. Cya

I know what you mean having to share your computer. I have a 14 year old, a 12 1/2 year old, and a 9 year old (who LOVES pc games)ANDDDDDDDDD the DH, LoL to fight with to get to the computer. I had access to it quite a bit today, yea!!!! (Like you couldn't tell huh!)

I need to clean out my pantry too. Wanna come and help me? smiles

Wow, a 20 year old. Boy I dread THAT day. Only 6 more years for the first one to hit it......not EVEN gonna think about it.

About the Avon, that would be great to look through the books. I would love to buy thru you!

I need to get scootin'.
Oh, post those pics! We want to see even the smallest bloom. I was thrilled yesterday when I seen one of my johnny jump ups stretching to look over the dianthus! :-)

I love looking at all the pictures! I've been working really hard on all my flower beds (re-mulching, dividing, and moving things) that I don't really have any neat pictures to share yet. Hopefully, with in the next few weeks!
I've just discovered dahlias this year (received some in a robin box) they are sooo pretty!
They do grow really large though- that's the only drawback, and I'm not really sure on storage for the winter. I don't have the best of luck with tulips/cannas. Most of them LOVE to rot! I've been basically letting them dry, and brown bagging them. Do they really need sawdust? (I read that somewhere). If anyone has a few tips on saving bulbs/tubers, please let me know!

We see the text too but we can copy and paste it into our browsers to get the picture. In photobucket, I think it's the middle of the 3 links you need to use in order to get the picture to show up here. The one that says tag and starts with "a href"

Just so you know. I don't mind copying and pasting to see pics either :)

To my Wonderful Secret Pal --

Thank you!

I received my box already! You get the prize for promptness, as well as for knowing what I like. Here's what was in my goody box: Some beautiful lavender lisianthus, (which are already in the ground and looking healthy!), a great "Scuba Aruba t-shirt (I am a scuba diver), two lovely wire flower pots, which, as my pal suggested, will look great with ivy trailing through them, a beautiful little book entitled "Flowers in Art" which showcases the paintings of some of my favorite artists, a fun picture frame, and perhaps most exciting, a vintage turquoise "tidbit dish" from Maurice of Calif that is a terrific addition to my turquoise potery collection.

Thank you, Pal, for making my day! May you enjoy all the sunshine and joy that the month of July brings.

Amy -- the name of the rose is "America." It's a great climbing rose that does well despite neglect on my part!

And Julie, the allium is called "Globemaster." I stole the idea for the "tipsy pots" from the "Garden Junk" forum.

I am loving all of the pictures! Your gardens are so great!

kayemell - I had thought about using a ladder as well. I was thinking of putting up by my boys bedroom as a fire escape, but using a non-thorny plant. Then again, those thorns might come in handy when the girlfriends start knocking at the door, smiles.

Lisa - keep posting those pics :-).

One day, out of the blue, I received a package in the mail. I opened it, and inside was a beautiful tile that said "In search of my mothers garden, I found my own". Of course tears was just streaming down my face. It was from Sue G. She thought of me, just out of the blue. It really touched my heart so much. I admire that tile everytime I water my houseplants. I have it sitting on my wicker shelf with some violets.

Many Hugs Sue ~

I came home to find my most wonderful box from my secret pal last night. You know how magicians sometimes pull a trick where they keep pulling items out of a small box and it just never ends? Well, that's how I felt last night. My box had a "sea" theme -- I was so tickled. First a "crab" kitchen towel which is so appropriate 'cause my family's favorite is dungeness crab! Then came a metal lizard figure with an extremely long tongue (named him Gene Simmons), a garden mini journal (just perfect for keeping track of trades), a beautiful turtle sun catcher, a lobster red lollipop for my DH (the big baby) and many dum dum pops for my DD. And a froggy rain gauge - what a clever idea - I've never had a rain gauge before! And Plants! Really nice and healthy perennial geranium/mums and yellow primrose. And a postcard showing me where my secret pal lives. A place thats probably so green and cool compared to where I live.

Thanks so much Secret Pal. You're great!

HEATWAVE ALERT!!!! Yuck!!!!!

Our news tonight said heat indexes of 112 plus by this Sunday, and to stay that way for the next 7 days. Our humidity is just awful. I will be hiding under the a/c this week. Back in 1999, we had heat indexes of 123 and I ended up with a heat stroke. Every since then, I have just not been able to take very much heat.
Maybe my house will start to look presentable with all the time I'll have to spend in it this week....
Hope the rest of you are staying cool. Where are you all at any way? Weeding... in this heat? LoL

Julie - I read your blog. Very cool! I love your name too :-)

My Spacecoast Starburst Daylily opened today! I just love those ruffles. My first bloom ever of this one. My tropical hibiscus has bloomed. Huge red flowers!

I have a question for those of you who grow Irish Eyes Rudbeckia. Is it suppose to get 6 feet plus tall? I read up on it, and the info said between 36 and 42 inches, at most.
These things are ginormous! How are you suppose to enjoy the blooms, when you can't even see them? Wow!

My oriental lily Aruba opened up a few days ago, and the bloom looks just as good today as it did then. It has to be at least 7-8 inches wide. Could you jsut imagine if it had a scent.....

Hope to hear form you all soon. Miss ya!

Oh my gosh I thought I was going to have heat stroke today! Actually I think I may have had a little healthy thingy because of the ridiculous high temperatures and the fact that I took leave of my senses and decided to work outside in the beating sun all weekend.

I'm at work all week, so I usually grab every second of outside-time during the weekend, but this weekend was too hot to be working outside. The temps reached the high 90s in Pennsylvania, with a heat-index of the low 100s. Yeeek.

I foolishly decided to start my "door-to-nowhere" and cement stepping stone project this weekend. What was I thinking??? After 6 hours of working in the heat I started to get cold chills and I felt nauseous. Well, duhhhhh. What did I expect?

So I spent the rest of the day indoors (Yaaaayyyy air-conditioning!) cleaning and organizing, and thanks to TastefullyJulie, I stole her idea of a blog-spot, and created my own, documenting the beginning of the cement stepping stone project.

Despite my little health issue, I am excited about finishing this project!

Sounds like you had a bout of dehydration or heat exhaustion. You be careful!
I can't wait to see your finished project! Very creative!

I hid in the house under the a/c most of the day. I snuck out for a bit to take a few pics of some daylilies and such. But then I was right back in. I just don't get along with such heat and humidity. YUCK!

I got a bit more cleaning done, and thats about it for my exciting weekend.

Hello everyone! I was so busy trying to get everything done before going on vacation that I did not realize how long it's been since I posted anything. I will be gone from July 29th-Aug.10th. !!! Hope my pal reads this and does not send the box during this time frame. I was getting so tired of watering all my flowerbeds... so I set up sprinklers everywhere, instead of watering 2 hours every morning I just run out and turn them on for about an hour. I should have listened to my DH and had the inground sprinklers installed but I did not want anyone digging around my yard and flower beds...DUH ! what was I thinking at that time? ... LOL, oh well... it's all good.
Hope everyone is staying cool, will post again when I return from vacation, hopefully with pictures.
