UPDATE: march obf swap: abc's of gardening
Comments (64)Hi everybody, Wow have I been missing things! Sounds like good news there for Bunny and Veeja's Grandbaby( great) it a cutie. Earthly, and Mellen and Sue K and Jeanne and Raggedy and Oh Mercy I'm sure I'm forgetting some of you, Anita.... SO GREAT to see you back active. You have been in my thoughts over the past few months. Really wish I could get back into trading because that is even more fun than gardening but..... I am limited to what will survive life on the road. My picnic table is half full of plants and I know I can't take them all with me so I am going to tuck few herbs into a corner by the laundry room here. I'll leave a sign telling folks to take some and enjoy them. Hope they survive the summer OK I have fallen in love with deep East Texas. It is more pines than Palms so does not feel tropical but is so mild that the Amarillis are growing in yards in clumps of 12 or 15 flower stalks. What a beautiful sight. The people are friendly too and I look foreward to getting back here again. Wednesday, I'll head for Oklahoma to see parts of the historic RT 66 and visit museums about that. Then on to New Mexico. So much to see there too. I'll be working for the summer right by Mesa Verda in Colorado. Plan to spend my free time visiting/studying the history of the Four Corners area. With the price of Gas continuing to go up I'll have to plan my trips carefully but I'm thinking if I don't see it now.... then when will it ever be any cheaper???? Carol, I have told many people about the book "The Long Emergency". He was so "right on" I hate to thing about next year oe five years from now. Hugs to all, Miss you.

Comments (77)Faye is Santa in disguise, I swear. Faye's package arrived, and OMG it is fabulous. I mean, really Faye, this is one of the nicest and most thoughtful surprises I've ever gotten in the mail. Everything was wrapped so nicely, in pretty Christmas paper....just so many goodies, it really felt like Christmas to me! Faye's wonderful gifts: ~ wind chime/hummingbird feeder hook with suction cups for attaching to a window ~ pretty butterfly notepad with a pen -- I'll start keeping my garden notes in it ~ cute miniature wind chime in the shape of a lady bug (and BTW, this makes me feel really happy because "Bug" is actually my little sister's nickname for me; she just moved away last week and I miss her a bunch, so this reminds me of her) ~ 2 funny, adorable little "Wormies" -- these clay water sensors that you stick in the soil, and when they start to change color then that means your soil is drying out. (BOY do I need these! I've been watering my tomatoes too much, and they aren't too happy) ~ pot decoration clip, a little flower basket with two cute bunnies dangling from it ~ cute, cute Christmas card ~ Seeds: Christmas Rose (oooh! so excited to grow this), Red Golden Climbing Lily bulbs (is this Gloriosa Lily? Aah! Been looking for this!), Eleusine Coracana "Green Cat" (really cool looking plant), Japanese Morning Glory "Kikyo-zaki" (thank you! can't wait to grow these), New Zealand Christmas Tree (so beautiful!), and finally "White Zulu" Cape Daisy (sooooo happy about this one, I've been really wanting to grow this). Ah! I'm so happy! Made my day, my week, my summer! Thank you, thank you, and may your garden always be green and bright. Oh, and I'd just like to say that all my OBF trades so far have been really wonderful. Just a big thank you to all of you who I've traded with....See MoreOBF July 4th Simple Swap
Comments (129)I was just taking a moment to catch up on all the posts. Susan, I am glad they found your car in good condition too. That must have been an awful ordeal. Shirley, I am so sorry about your day lilies. The deer came over my fence and ate the top two feet off my roma tomato plants and helped themselves to zucchini and other squash plants as well. They also ate my my oriental and Asiatic lilies down to the stubs. I told my husband he is going to have to create an 8 ft tall fence inside our fenced back yard. I was so heart broken. I have been spraying to keep them out and everything but it is difficult to keep them out when they are hungry. My neighbor down the street built a 7 ft tall cyclone fence structure and added his raised garden beds all around the perimeter of his garden "room".. He said it has worked really well for him and I am going to have to resort to the same thing if I want to have a vegetable garden I guess. Tammy, many thanks again for hosting. I was so glad to participate and learned a lot too. I have posted August's OBF Be Well Swap this morning....See Morebrittneysgran

6 years agoI received Kim's box today. She sent a great garden themed box and included a really cute Beet it card and magnet! She sent mixes for spinach dip and buttermilk cupcakes. She sent an assortment of teas and seeds (Big rainbow tomato, Thai basil, cilantro, and white bush scallop squash). There was also a cute green pot and a container for plants, garden shears, a pen, gardenia soap, a begonia plant, a coleus plant, and a dinner plate dahlia Otto's Thrill. I have been wanting a dinnerplate dahlia! She also sent the cutest measuring spoons (I took a close up of it because it was so cute).
Thank you so much, Kim! It was clear that you put a lot of thought into this.
