Thank you for offering, Janice , but I held back most of what was in each packet, so I'm good.

Happy news is, they were all quick germinators....not much time or effort lost.

I had meant to tie that unit down so that wouldn't happen...just never got around to it, until now.

Fierce wind here today, too. I took my Mom out for lunch. She's 87, very frail now. The wind almost blew her over. Really! If I hadn't grabbed her, she would have hit the ground.

My neighbor found more trash in his yard today. Among other stuff was a bank slip from Henryville 1991. They googled the guy's name and he was one of the people killed in the Henryville tornado.

aw thats sad. It was on the news this morning that a woman from someone found somethings in her back yard while she was out watching for deer. A Wedding picture, dated 1982 Indiana,, and few other momentos, She's hoping she can find who the picture was from and return it to them.

Very sad to lose so much of your past mementos. Those can not be replaced.

How, close was that storm to you guys? That's sad! I read a story about the baby girl that died. She was found in a field. So sad! Never been close to a twister.

Stuff can be replaced, when people are gone thats final. We had a house fire when I was in high school, when I came out of the house i was so happy to see my parents. 35 years later I have way more stuff than you need. Do miss some of the old photos, we replaced some from my mothers sister pictures. Oh well you have your family and you move on.

The Bethel Oh one was maybe 40 mi. east. Most of the debris in my neighborhood has been from Holton and Henryville, maybe 60-80 mil west. There were so many reports in Ky that I don't know which was closest.

Everyone else found interesting stuff in their yards, I just had garbage- styrofoam, big boxes and plastic bags smothering my plants, stuff like that.

I think we're off topic again.

well, the season hasn't started much. I hope people can return things. Crocus near the house, the only thing in bloom.

Glad you are safe, Karen!

Thank you so much, Polly!

It looks like all three tiny baptisia babies made it through the winter! These are the "memory" seedlings, if you remember.

I really appreciate your advice!

I'm new here---hope this works

Duane!!

What a beautiful garden! Thanks for posting it.

Love your garden ornaments and what is the large pink plant on the left?

sandnsea2----it's Phygelius capensis, or Cape Fuchsia. It's actually more of a red than pink. Hummers love (fight over) it.
Duane

That sure is a gorgeous specimen!

How old is it in the photo?
