After finishing up my obligations to school and a not-so-nice illness, I spent my first morning working on the garden today. I just wanted to thank everyone from last year's swap for being so generous! I'm thrilled to see that several gifts are coming back. (No small feat, given that I'm a new gardener and have had little time to pamper the plants.) I've got a pretty little Christmas fern, some hosta, some iris, and a couple of mystery plants that I hope to figure out later in the summer.

I won't be able to make it to this year's swap (rats!), but will be thinking of y'all every time I'm in the garden.

Thanks again,

Kelly
