Happy---

Would you like for me to pick some mints up for you--if they have it? What kind?
I know they have Chocolate Mint. Any other herb or veggie? They have all the basils.

I will be working today--11-5PM. Be glad to shop after I get off. Please answer quickly--
I don't work again until Sunday. The sale is over tonight.

I will check DG on my computer before I leave. Gita

Jill--

Frederick--at this moment--has 36*. They just gave the weather report on radio.

I will smell/taste the mint I potted up. It was a little messy to do that as i was knee deep in dirt.
I did not detect any cotrusy scent when pulling all the mess apart.....
My Pakistani neighbor grows a nice Mint. They all drink Mint tea--good for the stomach.
I have a small pot by now--not enough to share.
It was growing in their lawn and I snitched a few pieces last year. It smells nice.....

Tomorrow--I HAVE TO sort through my Canna roots!!!! So late to pot up some for the Swap--
Hoping they might sprout before the Swap. Will put them in the sun to warm up.
I like to share Cannas when they have started to sprout, rather than giving someone a pot of dirt.

I have 3 kinds--The dark maroon-leaved one (Orangy red blooms)---"Winds" BIG red one--green leaves--
and my neighbor's massively growing/blooming, orange/yellow one--green leaves.

They are all still in boxes on the floor in my shop. Gita

dark one--Orange/yellow one--wind's red one....
