waiting for the new containers to arrive..

I agree with you about a garden healing it helps me a lot when I am stressed.
The restless leg syndrome use to be a great bother to me until my Dr suggested Iron tablets as I was slightly anaemic which seems to cause restless legs.
The treatment worked I took one a day to start with and now only need one every other day. I have tried to stop taking them but the restless legs comes back very quickly.

This will help others too.

A herb garden sounds good. I like the round design. Your new containers will look nice planted up :)

thanks for the info, Drc726..i think i'll try the iron, see if it works for me..

thanks, Hywel..this is a new area for me..i went to a meeting of the herb society on Monday, and won a lovely little strawberry mint..smells heavenly...i like the mints, and am not worried about them taking over everything, since they will go into containers..it's exciting , starting over again...can't wait to see how the courtyard turns out..

I have delicious spearmint taking over my stream bed..will I add that to the lilac cuttings? It's very mild and aromatic and it makes a killer iced tea. I'm just about to harvest it..we're to get some serious heat and I don't want it to bolt to seed. (The blossoms are beautiful, and it will self seed, but root cuttings are the way to have it establish quickly.) It likes lots of water.

hi Lori..that would be great! now that i have my new watering system, i don't have any problem with thirsty plants..just the opposite, in fact..thanks for thinking of me..did you find my address? could you let me know when you mail them? my mail goes into one of those stands along with about 50 other boxes,...it's metal, and sits in full sun, so i will check it carefully after you've sent them..something i don't normally do since i only get bills and flyers these days...

I also like mints. I have a few different types. Last one I bought was called Tashkent mint (Mentha spikata) It has a lovely smell.

I don't know if I should parcel it up this coming week or wait until the weather is cooler. 43 degrees over the next four days as mid-day highs, with 20 degrees as overnight lows. I will send you a private message when they're in the mail, but it may not be for another week yet. That way you don't have to haunt the mailbox until there's a chance it's going to be there!

good idea to wait Lori..i was in the courtyard for no more than 30 minutes, had to get back inside, it was so hot, i started to get short of breath, and i don't normally have breathing probs..we have so much air pollution here..i couldn't stay out there very long...
