If anyone needs the instructions on the tree dahlias let me know and I can email them.
I must have set my little scented geranium down somewhere and left it, hopefully the gal who brought it will bring more next time : )
Also, I just remembered something else I’m looking for… Willow, regular or weeping. I just need a few branches to use as starts. Or let me know if you know of one around town.
Thanks! See you all next time : )

Harvest this delight of your edible landscaping in the morning or evening, when you won’t have to compete with intense sunlight. Purslane can either be used raw in salads or sauteed as a side dish. In addition to the crispy texture, purslane also has an interesting peppery flavor. Star chef Steve Johnson has a purslane cooking recipe for cucumber-yogurt salad (you can view his recipe for purslane at the Star Chefs Web site).
But there’s more to the eating of the herb, purslane than its use in gourmet recipes. Its benefits extend to nutrition. Not only does purslane have leaves high in Omega-3 fatty acid, but it also has stems high in vitamin C. Omega-3 fatty acids are instrumental in regulating our metabolism. Purslane contains a very high concentration of alpha-linolenic acid — several times the concentration in spinach.

Also, meant to say that I’d love some spearmint Ellie.
