Thanks for the head's up, ratherbesewing. I've tentatively booked the 2nd dose for a long weekend in October b/c I don't know if I'll be able to take time off if I'm sick with things so crazy due to covid. Hate to possibly ruin a long weekend, but we've always had trouble getting substitute teachers in for us when we are sick and now, who knows. Most of our subs are retired teachers and I'm pretty sure most of them are not coming in until things settle down. mimou, thank you so much for finding that link. My DD is heading back to school across country next month (against our counsel, but what can you do) and I'm going to need that link anyways even if I missed out on it this time.

baby bunnies are adorable so I'm with you there--if it's doing no damage keep it :) as far as irises go I like doing swathes of complementary color--so with my apricot roses I have silverado irises, and with my catmint I have butterscotch orange, and with my pink I have blue irises. I've shoehorned so many plants into the ground that I think they're risking disease from lack of air circulation.....so I may have to *sobs* reduce the number of roses I have. Easy To Grow has a sale on reblooming irises but I'm not 100% how reliably their stuff comes--I was supposed to have ten all white everest alliums to match the two i have....and wound up with ten giant purple alliums instead :p

'Ground cherry' is a name given to various members of the Physalis genus. They are closely related to tomatillos and have a slightly tart, picante flavor. So not precisely a fruit in the same manner that tomatoes are not a fruit :-) You can include them in salsas, salads or turn them into jams or pies. They are sometimes referred to as Cape gooseberries too but that is actually a different species of Physalis. FWIW, they are not related to any bramble berries (blackberries, etc.) or to gooseberries, currants or huckleberries or other Vaccinium. Elmer, they are native to North and Central America and can be grown anywhere here as an annual but do not constitute a commercially viable crop so are seldom seen outside of gardens or farmer's markets.
