Thanks, Ellen, for once more hosting the wonderful swap. I know it's a "labor of love", but it's just plain hard labor, too. When I look at my garden the things that stand out the most are what generous gardeners have shared with me.
Thanks also to Mone, Annette, Doug, and all who shared their bounty, their expertise, and their enthusiasm with me.
I've been taking my year-old granddaughter to Lurie Garden downtown every week. (they live a few blocks away). Have to start them young!
I've actually made serious inroads on getting everything planted. Leaving the seedlings to grow on a bit first, though. I'm afraid of "losing" them if they go right in.
I appreciate the contributions all of you have made over the years!
