Hi All,
I got Sue G's bot on its way. I have a DC# just not on me.

Maryanne,
That's what Gary had last night! I had crab claws. I also made turnip greens with sweet red pepper fried up and then Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Yum!

Shirley,
I'll guess you made my dinner that I just ate. Grilled steak with fried onions, beans, and bread.
Remy

I'm making DH read these posts..he thinks I'm losing my mind losing all the knives. Sometimes I've thought maybe Hannah or someones dog finds them and carries them off, you would think I could find them sooner or later.

OK we need to make it a little easier and everyone can guess again.

Maryanne feel free to guess on this as well.

Be more specific
Meat ?
Beans ?
Veg ?
Veg ?

Shirley

Mellen,
This is the clematis you sent a couple years ago in a swap.

What a beautiful clematis...........

Sue N - Yes Garden Gnomes it must be.

Maryanne - The hot dogs and beans is what I had last night. The hot dogs and beans are really quick and that was what I needed.

Off to work

Shirley

Faye's box went in the mail yesterday. DH mailed it for me so I don't have the tracking number by the computer.

I will guess at dinner again... Chicken, green beans, potato and salad.

Heidi

Remy, that clematis is beautiful!

Shirley, I am going to guess you had beef, black-eyed peas, potato and salad.

Have a great day everybody.

Sue N.

Oh, Remy, I LOVE that clematis. I really wish I had good luck with them. But I haven't given up trying.

I will guess sirloin steak, pork and beans, green beans, and tomato.
ME

Jen's box arrived today, and it was packed. I am VERY HAPPY with all of it. Everything is nicely rooted and healthy. Some of the roots are quite large, in fact. In addition to her plant list she sent a pink astilbe. THANK you so much, Jen.

I wished for rain and it rains every eve right after I get home. I'm getting so far behind with weeding. Why do weeds grow faster than flowers?

Jen I hope to dig your plants and ship next week along with Maryanne and Melissa's daylilies.

Shirley

Shirley- please don't ship until after July 3rd as they will sit at the post office until then. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you- Jen

ME- so glad u were happy with the box:)

Hi Ladies!!
Glad to see everyone having fun this month!!

After 3 years of dealing with the bank about our house it was finally foreclosed on & sold at auction a few weeks ago.I'm digging up most of my favorite plants but not going to be adding anything new for a while...so I'm going to leave your wonderful OBFers for a (little)while. You will need a host for Oct.

Will see lots of you on Facebook!!

Oh, April, I am so sorry to hear about your home. I DO remember about it. Hopefully, you are headed onto a new and even better situation. You WILL be missed here! As far as I am concerned, you will ALWAYS be welcome back here if/when you decide to return.
Big hugs to you,
Mary Ellen/ME

We'll miss you, April! Come back soon!!

Just checked on Heidi's box, and it's been delivered! On schedule, this time! Yay! :)

Oh my goodness! I've been lurking on this since it's been so much fun to watch all the stealing back & forth. Hope no one minds.

Just wanted to jump in to say to April -- I don't know you but I cannot imagine what you are going through. I really wish you well & hope that you can settle into a good place soon so that you can come back to GW & rebuild your garden!

The background on this page is red. Is it just my computer? Very Weeeeiiiiirrrrd!

Morning everyone!

Carol, your box is going out today. :) I'll post dc when I get back from the po.

ME, its not just you. My screen was red too. Then I refreshed the screen and it went back to white. I think the computer gnomes are busy again on this site.

Shirley, Wow! What a weekend you've had! My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. ((((((HUGS))))))
And I'll take October, if no one else has claimed it. I just love halloween and can come up with something spooky for that month :)

Shirley, let's hope its cooler by then. The weather has been strange to say the least. One day it will be almost 90 the next day maybe 70. I wish it would figure out what it wants to do and stay there, and maybe my sinus' would feel better.

Have a super day!
vina

I am sorry about posting late. I am so far behind with my daughter's wedding details and going out of town and all. Sorry that I haven't sent your box out Vina. I plan to mail it on Thursday. I have to run. Talk to you all later.

Almost forgot, April, I am so sorry about your house. I know you will have better things in the future. God bless you and your family.

Sue N.

REMY, I sent your box out in today's mail...and it isn't even July(yet?) DC#0310 2640 0000 6712 6170
I'm afraid I had to do a couple of substitutions--the lavender, geranium-Carol, and hosta-Big Mama had bit the dust....well, actually, they drowned. BUT, I think you will be okay with what I sent in their place. I think I added an extra plant, too. Hope you like it all, and it arrives in good condition. I really pushed to get it out today since tomorrow we are to be in a 'heat advisory.' Hoping the box can stay one step ahead of the heat.

Lots of craziness here, but we will survive!
ME

Received a wonderful box from Vina today, thankyou Vina love it busy planting will post contents tomorrow love it thankyou

Melissa

So sorry for the delay yours should get to you on Tues. I'll post the DC when sent.

Sue G

Mary Ellen,
My box from you came today! I got home and I saw a box on the chair and was wondering what it could be. I forgot a box from you was coming LOL. So it was really nice surprise!
I don't know how you fit everything into the box! Thank you. The hosta and Geranium switches were fine with me. The one Hosta looks very cute, Golden Friendship. I wanted Purple Pillow Geranium so thank you!(I can't read the name of the other geranium that I wrote, but it looked very cute.)
Thank you also for switching out the Strawberry Candy Daylily for Lady ?(I can't read my writing and now it is dark out there, lol) since you know I had that one.
You somehow got a Weeping Forythia in the box! Oh and the Lilac looks great!
Thank you so much!!

SUE G.!
While I was in the garage getting stuff to pot up what I received, what do I find? The newspaper with all the Sedum pieces in it!! I somehow left it out of the box!!! I'm so sorry. I feel so dumb. I purposely put together a bunch of low growers for you, and you didn't get them! I'll have to mail you out a little box of them.

Shirley

Thank you so much Shirley- we get home tomorrow:) Jen

Melissa I am so sorry for the delay I was ready to send on
Thurs but remembered the holiday I will be sending on Tues because its bee 118 - 119 her.,

I am a little concerned if faye received her box. I sent it a while ago and it was confirmed delivered....

FAYE IF YOU ARE OUT THERE... LET ME KNOW :o)

Heidi

Just got back from MO trip. No computer so happy to see here that you got your box, Remy. I believe the geranium was "Memories." AND, the daylily was Lady Eva. I bought a half-dozen of those as that is pretty close to the name/nickname of our grandbaby-to-be.

We head to MN this coming week-end to help the 'kids' move into the house they bought. They just closed on it last week so they have been busy painting the baby's room and their bedroom. Can't wait to see the house. Of course, I will be taking plants to share. :)

Nice boxes being exchanged!
ME

Hello everypne,
I did receive my box from Heidi.
Because of the tornadoes that hit it is not that easy to get onto the computer right now.
I loved the box with all the plants. They made it to me just great and I have them potted up.
Thank you so much.
I am sorry it has taken me so long to say I got it and thank you. I will do better on that from now on.
Thanks,
Faye!

Jen-I have half yours dug and will dig the rest tomorrow evening. Got rained out this afternoon. Will mail on Thursday.

Shirley

thanks Shirley:) I don't know aboutyou but, It seems like I am always digging in the rain. If I'm Planting- it's raining.I remember last year we dug up my husband's grandmother's peonies and it was pouring! I go home- divided the plant into about 16 - and plante the rest of the day in the rain. when I finally came in- my husband didn't know what to say. I had mud pretty much covering every inch:)
hope you had a nice anniversary:)

Melissa

Your box is on its way... should be there tomorrow.

Sue G

Perfect timing, Sue! They are calling for some rain in the AM, so the ground will be ready for planting! :D

I just received the most WONDERFUL box from Miss Sue! It was so big, it took 2 kids to carry it. :) And MERCY, I just about fell out of my chair when I saw how much it cost to mail! Prices are getting ridiculous!!

I tried to keep track of everything as I unwrapped them, but I had 4 little helpers (the girls helped me...the boys couldn't have cared less- they know they're going to be recruited to help plant later on! LoL!) so I didn't get everything written down. But everything looks great, nothing is wilted! Which was SO surprising, considering the heat!
I know there were 2 mini roses, red & blue salvia, many daylilies, 6 succulents, dianthus, lantana, rosemary & lavender. The rosemary & lavender made the box smell SOOOO good! If I've forgotten to mention anything, please forgive me!

Thank you SO MUCH, Miss Sue! You outdid yourself with a WONDERFUL box, and I absolutely LOVE everything!

Happy planting all those goodies Melissa.

Jen I sent you an e-mail requesting your address. I have your box ready to send.

Melissa and Maryanne your prize daylilies went in the mail today.

Shirley

Shirley- I emailed you back immediately yesterday- aroun 8- 830 am. I sent to teh email you requested. I resent this am to both addresses.

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I have emailed Sue a few days ago and have not heard from her about my box.

I only have to assume that she is super busy with her daughters wedding and has not had time to check her email.

What should I do? Amazingly, this has never happened to me before...:)

vina

EM, EM, EM!!! I just got and opened the box from you. You are such a SWEETIE!!! In addition to what Em already sent, she sent daylily Count Dracula and brug 'Charles Grimaldi.' Em, you have no idea how much I am appreciating this especially today. THANK you soooo much. You are a KEEPER!

Well, we got the kids moved into their home in St. Cloud Saturday. It all went very smoothly.

Stay cool.
ME

Hi!
Sue just emailed me. She had to have emergency surgery! I told her to mail to me when she's feeling better.

WOW! I just thought she was super, crazy busy with her daughters wedding coming up...

Please, everyone send her your happy thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

((((HUGS))))
