Well, Bonnie and I went on one of our annual herb buying trips to 
Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve in Alliance,Ohio.  I have been buying herbs from Paul and Melinda Carmichael since their days selling plants out of the back of a box truck at flea markets.  They grow great plants and have a very good variety selection considering they have down scaled somewhat since they sold Lily of the Valley Herb Farm a couple of years ago.
I am expecting a box from 
Well-Sweep Herb Farm to arrive this week and then the chaos of mixing and matching everything I picked out will begin.  I'm also getting some lemony additions from my friend, Carolee Snyder of 
Carolee's Herb Farm.  I have a bunch of herbal holes to plug and hopefully I will put the right combinations together.   When I visualize the space I have at the nursery and then get the plants home, it is just never quite the same space!  Always like to have that problem though, herbally speaking!  So I hope you have had a great day.  We certainly did!  Talk to you later.
