Nancy McConnelljohnson replied to Kely Davis's discussion Ideas for a cutting garden? in the group Herbs"Sorry to say that we have an entire section of yard is all wildy growing yarrow.

I am a master gardener in Ohio and retired 3 years ago as a park and recreation director . Southern plants and turf are all new to me and it has been a wonderful experience working in the tropics !!

That is too funny about the cows. I grew up on a small farm and miss it so much, it would have been wonderful to beable to have my son grow up like I did on a farm, it is so good for the kids they get alot out of it in so many ways. We live in the suburbs of Boston and there is a small farm behind us and we let the farmer use a corner of our yard for his sheep, they are soooo cute! The farmer used to have Highland cows with the long horns and blonde bangs as I called them, they used to get out every so often and come directly to my house-they knew where they would get treats :) they arent dumb. Then he sold the cow pasture and had houses built there. Oh well. like you said that is life. Anyway, glad that you are at least able to enjoy the Cranes Bill Geranium. We actually have sun today so I am going to go out and enjoy it's brief visit....take care and have a great day :)

We have so much rain that I havent been able to enjoy my garden too much this year.
Do you know anything about Lavendar???? I have tried growing it before and had great success for 3 years then it got really woody, I cut it back but it never came back again. I love lavendar and would like to incorporate it into my garden.
