Lovely swaps sent for the month of August. Thanks for participating.

Hope everyone had a good Labor Day weekend.

Annie and Ruth, your prizes should arrive tomorrow.

Wouldn't you know it, some seeds were on sale today with free shipping. Just ordered 3 more packs. I'd better stop soon because definitely limited plant space here.

Cherry Falls tomatoes are still producing. I have pulled out about half of the plants though at this point. The plants don't give up but the extreme heat and many dry spells cause the skin on the tomatoes to become tougher. I will definitely plant some again next year. I'll have to check on planting dates for the things I hope to plant for fall/winter. Growing here is different even from growing at my house in Cary.

Jeanne, thank you so much for my prize that came today. It had me puzzled at first as to what it actually is.

Also thank you for hosting a fun month.

Sharon, way back you asked about yarrow. I do grow the common white flowered yarrow. I have never used it for any herb stuff although I should. It returns every year.

Jeanne, got my prize!! Thank you!!

I so enjoyed your month of shapes and scents!!

Yarrow, I have never grown...that I can remember!!!!

I can't wait to show you my garden project. It's both exciting and stressful. Lots of work, of course. Think "The Secret Garden, "Wizard of Oz" and detour traffic signs. Details coming! Heidi
