Holy moly, that's a lot of plantin', Bobert!

Janie, I lost the marker for the yarrow years ago, but the main ones I have are the yellows. I do have one kind of subdued red; that's one of the ones which has suddenly decided to flourish and is going to be really pretty when it opens. I had never noticed the scent of yarrow leaves until I had these ones...kind of a lovely lemon-mint, really nice. Did you know it used to be illegal in some places to grow it because it was used as an abortifacient?

Roger's first grape vine is still growing really well...it is very vigorous every year. The other two which I gave him didn't do very well last year and did not come back this year. The stalwart one grows quite large, so I think we can train it to take over their spaces, too.

My ex is going to bring me some baby sagebrush and, also, wild sunflowers! I've got just the spot for them, too.
