I see several seeds on your list I would love to trade for. Could you please take a peek at my list and see if I have anything you might like. From yours I liked: purple Chinese Houses Birds Eye Gilia Azalea Double mix Godetia Formosa Lily Fortnight Lily Lions' Tail (would love a double trade if possible)

Sorry folks but the seeds are gone:( Thanks, farmerted361:)

Very exciting. Are these the total number of beds you have? 3 4x8 beds, 3 4x4 beds, and have 3 2x4 beds? It must have been fun selecting all of these varieties. I love picking out everything. I have a smaller area to work with as I have reduced the size of my home garden area last year as I do not have as much time at the moment to tend to it all. I still have the community garden which if I remember right is 12 4X8 beds and other areas for containerized goodies and fruit trees, etc. I am wondering which varieties you plan on panting this fall? I am excited to hear about your progress. Best of luck and keep us posted.

Siobhan beat me to it in suggesting Wallace Stegner, especially his Mormon Country which I remember as a fascinating collection of essays, anecdotes, and stories. Also, there's his A Gathering of Zion. But it was some forty years ago that I read them and I don't know how they hold up. If you are at all interested in America's other infamous 9/11, I think The Mountain Meadows Massacre by Juanita Brooks and Sally Denton's American Massacre: The Tragedy at Mountain Meadows, September 1857 are both enlightening. Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders by Linda Sillitoe and Allen Roberts is fascinating if you like true crime. I recall that some of the things revealed about LDS church history seemed really bizarre and not at all pleasing to the church bigwigs. Of course, if you want to bone up on the LDS, you could read Who Really Wrote the Book of Mormon?, but it would probably be best to do it either before you go or after you get back home. In my experience, it is impolitic to have it in view in Utah. :-( Liz, you mentioned reading Under the Banner of Heaven, so maybe you can help me. I am trying to recall the title of a book by one of the many daughters of the patriarch living down on the Utah/Arizona line. Krakauer described this man in UtBoH (quite amusingly, as I recall). If I could just get the right surname of this man, I could probably find the book that seemed to me to be titled something like Deadly Kinfolk; but I don't get any hits at Amazon with that, so it must be something else.
