I played hooky from lawn mowing yesterday and met up with SSG at a local plant swap. The hostess had the most beautiful, and beautifully landscaped, gardens I think I've ever seen at an ordinary private residence--the archways, the gazebos, the koi ponds, the artfully arranged exotic plants, and so on. Very beautiful! There were several incredibly beautiful tree peonies in full bloom in the front yard which of course made me Want One. :-o

I think we both managed to stay out of trouble (all plants were free for the taking--LOL), and SSG was tolerant of my just-escaped-from-yardening dressed down look (thanks, Terri!). I picked up my first tomato plant--a Paul Robeson, my first lesson in *black tomatoes*--and got SSG's raspberry babies home and potted up.

A good day--thanks, Terri! :-) Here is a photo of the Black Scallop taken early this morning--plenty big for dividing!
