Hi folks... I had a blast today at the swap. It was great fun to see so many long time friends and make some new gardening friends too. We had over 100 people and over 2000 plants for sharing. Awesome! At our first swap in 2001 there were 28 people... it's was so fun to see some of those same people at the swap today. Thanks to everyone for coming with such a kind and sharing heart - that's what it is all about. Everyone seemed to go home with lots of new plants. :-) Murray and I came home with some tomatoes, sedums, lillies, coneflowers and many more. Thanks so much. Of course, thanks to folks for bringing a wonderful array of tastey potluck food! I say this every year... gardeners sure can cook and bake. Thanks to folks that donated door prizes. We always get such a neat array of goodies to choose from One last thanks to everyone who came with a kind generosity of spirit. Good gardening to you all! Beverly

Appears to be a member of the Rosaceae Family, possibly Geum aleppicum, which has small(about 1") 5 petal yellow flowers in summer(June-Aug). This species has variable leaves and is often difficult to identify, but should have a hairy stem. In wetland locations, can attain a height up to 5 ft. Rb

Picture from that far away is hard to id, but it looks like it could be mayapple podophyllum peltatum

A suggestion for next year . . . do all your garden prep in the fall so you can plant as soon as is best for your crops and not wait until the garden is dry enough to till. How about if for this year you set aside an area in a S. corner or edge of the garden (so taller crops don't shade the onions) and plant your onions, and then just don't till there. The disadvantage of planting late or transplanting is that the onion plants won't get big enough before they start setting the bulbs (which is controlled by day length), so you will have too-small onions at the end of the season.
