Shasta, I did take a few, I just have to do better this year. I still have a week before I can bend and two weeks before I can lift but thankfully I got a lot of weeding done before and did get some plants potted up. The Japanese named iris are still selling around 10 on the internet, so I thought that might make a nice door prize. Just keep looking everyday, that all I can do right now. I have columbine and forget-me-not coming up everywhere. We had a frost here last night so I guess it is a good thing that I didn't have my plants out yet.

Thank You all so far that have contacted me through e-mail. I will post directions for anybody that is shy and want to show up anyway. Take I-26 East to Exit 219-A Rutledge Ave. Go down Rutledge, you will see a baseball field on your right, Hampton Park is the first turn to the right past the park. June 25th, 10am...I will post signs, it won't be hard to find us. Any questions, feel free to ask! Darren

My box from Melissa arrived today! Inside was a very nice basket full of great stuff! Lots of chocolate goodies, which the kids immediately tried to talk me out of ... don't think so, LOL! Lilac and lavender scented candle Sharpie marker (thank you, thank you, my old one was just about dried up, and I use them for labeling my wintersown containers) Cute little notepad that says "If you pray for rain, be prepared to deal with some mud." (Love it!) Green metal turtle windchimes (very cute) Pair of heavy duty leather palm gloves (Boy did I need some of these! My husband's work gloves are way too big, and regular canvas or cloth garden gloves just aren't tough enough for some jobs.) In addition to all of these goodies, there were tons of seeds in the basket too: Greencrop bush beans Henderson bush lima beans Early Sunglow corn Parade cucumber (can't believe you found one I didn't already have) Poona Kheera cucumber (grew it for the first time last year. They were very large, and crisp, almost melon-like, and a very good producer.) Sakata's Sweet melon (Can't wait to try this one!) Orangeglo watermelon (on my wishlist) Louisiana Green Velvet okra (our nights might be too cool, but I'm going to try it anyway - I miss fried okra!) Burgess Buttercup squash Cocozelle squash (I almost sent this one to you too, LOL) Mini Bell Yellow pepper (Would you believe I grew a Mini-Belle Mix last year, and only got red and chocolate, no yellow, so thank you!) Czech's Excellent tomato (new to me, yippee!) Nature's Riddle tomato (also new to me!) Emerald Evergreen tomato (yep, didn't have that one either) Wow!!! I am so pleased and thankful for the wonderful box of goodies you sent. Thank you very much, Melissa! Bonnie (who plans on keeping those chocolates for herself!)
