After 2 days of digging, de-rootng and planting I am glad to see the painful rain today to make me take a break. I still have a few more plants to transfer but they are going in the back yard where there is no Maple tree! Yay!!

Critter - Looking back I think it may have been you that gave me the Oregano. I recall when I ask, I was told it was a _______ Oregano. But "old timer's" just can't keep track of all the new info I got from all of you sweet and so helpful gals, so I forgot what the _____ was. Now I know, and Thank you! A special thanks too for the ice cube tray/spice idea. I reckon that would work with others too like Basil, Cilantro..... I love spices, herbs and teas both to enjoy and for medicinal purposes. I even have dried corn silks....no, not to smoke LOL but they make a tea that's not bad (actually good to many especially with some honey) and is great for treating and preventing UTI's. I will dry some oregano to use, but the fresh idea sounds better. I'll attach a picture of my "medicine cabinet". Thanks for clarifying my faulty memory bank. Now I know what I have and what to do with it. Thanks for also continuing this thread becase I do need to take a picture or two and ask "what's this?"

Ruby your Shasta Daisy, Black Eyed Susan and lamb's ears are planted. Holly the left over mum's you gave me are in the ground. We'll find out what color in a few months. There was another plant from Coleuslover that I don't recall the name of but had varigated green leaves. It's in the ground too. I have to say most of them have doubled in size since the swap or at least grown noticably, even still in pots. Thank you all. I will enjoy each one.

Holly - you gave me a Sedum, which I had never heard of before. It is a perennial and after seeing info online it has some pretty blooms too. I liked it before, but really like it now! Thank you. I know it is usually in the ground, but I was wondering, have you ever had one in a big pot and have it somewhere like my breezeway for the winter? Or does it spread well and best in the ground? Obviously that is one yet to transfer.
