It has been a wonderful birthday month. Tammy, thanks for stepping in to host and all the fun n games.

Mary I mailed you a birthday card but its late. Sorry!

I have had one busy month and this one has already started to be a bad first day too. Our well went down this morning so we had to call the water well people out and they think it is the pump..so I am headed to town to buy water.. as don't know how long it will take to get it fixed. My plants can't go without! LOL!

Everyone have a beautiful day!

Tammy

Tammy, whenever you say "headed to town" I think of Bonanza/The Ponderosa LOL.

Hello Doing the birthday card for beth berry. She is an oldie but goodie from Gardenweb for years. maybe some of the other girls will come back after summer ends. Still saving tomatoe seeds. But over soon : {

Mary- LOL! Thats funny my dad loved that show!

Amy have you gotten your box yet?? I mailed it last friday. It has live succulent plants in it. Just checking.

Tammy I have not gotten it yet, I checked the mail when I got home today but no box. Do you have a tracking number?

I am just furious with my post office!!! I just checked Amy and it is showing SATURDAY!!! There is no way the plants will make it! I mailed the box last friday afternoon. Here is the tracking number 13071300000328177119.

I called up there and they told me that that is not an actual day it is just an estimated time of arrival...Really!! I sent another box to someone else at the same time and theirs shows to arrive tomorrow...Hmm. Keep me posted! I am so sorry!

Thanks Tammy, I will keep you posted!

I am going to see A WALK IN THE WOODS this week. What on earth took so long to make this hysterical Bill Bryson book into a movie? Took so long Redford aged outta the part.

Christine00 is Sept. 21 Gotta share this second in the garden. Is this called a hummingbird moth? Have a great day

I believe it is the hummingbird moth. Here is a picture I got of one a couple years ago.

They are so cute, I love those but don't see them often!

They were all over this dianthus.

Now that is a moonlight garden, the hummingbird moth on the white dianthus! I can remember seeing them at dusk on buddleia, but they are few and far between!

Tammy, My box arrived today! Thank you for all the goodies! You were right the poor little succulents did not survive that long in the heat. I just love the bird bath and I know my hummers will love it too! I wish I could figure out how to post a picture but I can't! Love the bright green gloves, cute hot pad, kitchen towel and herb rug! The cups are just the right size and so pretty. I am going to be checking out the seed catalog and almanac tonight and love the rose calendar and baggies! Great Box Tammy! Thank you so much! Amy

Tammy

Tammy, Thank you for hosting this great swap. I love my box and you don't need to send replacements. Have a great day! Amy

Just to update from my end.

I haven't heard from Connie.

I never received the # 4 vacation box or got a tracking #.

I received a message from Ruthz and she hasn't received her box yet from Connie. I hope nothing has happened, If anyone hears from Connie please let me know.

Thanks,

Tammy

Hi Ruth,

I just dug up your pomegranate tree, cured the yam and got your box together, could you send me your address so I can get it to you.

Sorry about the delay, I got a community garden plot and had to work quickly to keep it. One of the master gardeners tried to take it back right after I got by putting vinegar on my seed trays, covering my plants with mulch, stealing my weeding tools, and then proceeding to plant his own stuff over my space. It was a hot mess, I haven't been online as I have really been wanting a community garden space, and I wasn't giving up without a fight. My tool had my name written on it so someone noted that and returned it to me, they noticed my plants were covered in mulch and called him in to talk about community garden etiquette. Hoping the garden is mine now and I can enjoy gardening in soil as much as containers.

Anyway you box is ready; if you have any questions about how to grow anything I did enclose a few tips on some of the more unusual plants. Message me please

Came home tonight and had this package waiting from Connie.
