Thanks, Elsa, Pam, & Kathy! I am thrilled to have a new yard--the soil there is good enough to eat. (Well, almost.) Once we move I will unpack The Great Seed Stash and have a better trade list w/ some of those larkspur and poppies to share to anybody who wants them. Holy cow, they're prolific.

Oddly enough, the Peggy Martin almost died this last year. Every single cane is dried and dead. This land we're living on is pure sand, and two years of hard drought and evil sand-swimming gophers just did it in. There's new growth coming out of the base of it, though, and I have a healthy potted cutting to take with me. Can't wait to get it to the new place and give it a home with real dirt!
