i would like to share a tip,about a project that i started 16yrs ago,LOTS OF HOSTAS,it is a opportunity for people with an overflow or a rare variety of hostas,to share and exchange our hostas,this is the ideal time to split and divide your hostas,while they are crowning above ground,as oppose to dividing the plant itself,which could result,you having a plant without form,remember divide the clump,not the plant,have a great day!

TIPS AND TEA,my tip to share today,WILLING LILLIES,this is a good time to split your lillies,and if you're willing,share them with your friends and neighbors,a good choice for tea today, i prefer the green varieties,mango,peach,fresh lime slices,and fresh pineapple mint from the herb garden,have a great day!

Hi Linda, All-We are organizing a plant swap fora weekend in May at the Housing Resource Center on Noble Rd. The swap will be real loosey-goosey lol. Just bring any plant, flower,vegetable, annual or perennial you have an excess of and browse and take any plant in exchange. Excess pots and/or bags would be appreciated. Becky will post the date and time in the HRCC newsletter and I will keep The Patch posted. Thanks for your tips on dividing Linda. Hope to see you and everyone else interested, there.

TIPS AND TEA,if you have basic information about about any type of gardening,in my case i've collected over a hundred books,that i loan to my friends and neighbors,and occassionally,for a first time gardener a gift to get started,share your books,or exchange as you grow,tea of choice today,promagrante,blackberry fresh orange juice and zest,fresh orange mint from the herb garden,have a great day!

TIPS AND TEA,today,i received a TIP,i misspelled a word,with the letter,H...it reminded me that i was a proof reader for my family printing company,for 20yrs.,and with that much experience,i should have never submitted that post,that misspelled word also reminded me,why this happens to me occassionally,and there have been other areas of my life affected,i had chose not to post today,because i know this could happen again,and i would have to explain it,i am a stroke survivor,i'm legally blind,just one of my disabilites,it's real ironic,i had my stroke on MAY,4,2004,i continue to journal,which i began at the age of 9yrs.,old,i planted my first garden at the same age,i desire to blog about TIPS to live a simple,meaningful life,gardening,cooking,being involved in the community,and hosting tea parties,i chose to use that letter H,forHAPPY,HELP,HEALING,HOPE,andHANDLING the many challenges ,that have yet to come my way,TEA,lemon,chamomille,fresh lime juice and fresh sprig of peppermint from the herb garden,Have a great day!
