I like the benches and use of repurposed items. Would like one of her t-shirts! And the pumpkin shot is the best part. <br /><br />Sorry you didn't get to speak at the first shindig but looks like you made the most of the free time.

There is one of those on Christopher of Outside Clyde's mountainside. Cool. But going to the herb farm sounds wonderful. I love the photo of the inside of the shop, the herbs hanging from the rafters look like stalactites with snow on them. Impossible I know but that's what it looked like at first. How cool about the GWA too! Small world. And a big hug and congrats on your blotanical award! :-)<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-45984773931208042922009-10-03T13:43:44.752-04:002009-10-03T13:43:44.752-04:00Since I'll probably never head in the directio...Since I'll probably never head in the direction of Carolee's, thank you for the vicarious visit that we can enjoy over and over. So much to see and you captured it well.<br /><br />Congratulations on being Best Ohio Blogger. <br /><br />Buckeyes are hard to capture, sometimes. Glad you got to see one. Agalinis is blooming here, one of their fav host plants, of which there are many.Nell Jeanhttp://seedscatterer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-43637667101336717002009-10-03T12:09:48.831-04:002009-10-03T12:09:48.831-04:00Whoops sorry - I got so obsessed by the zip line p...Whoops sorry - I got so obsessed by the zip line puzzle that I forgot to return the congrats - which was the other reason I came in.Sue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-51542561729044581512009-10-03T12:07:02.786-04:002009-10-03T12:07:02.786-04:00Wish I could go to carolee's but I think I'...Wish I could go to carolee's but I think I'd need a bit more than an unexpected free day ... :(<br /><br />Just dropped in to say thank you for your congrats. they're much appreciated.<br /><br />PS.

It's about an hour and a half from us. <br /><br />How did things fare in the frost at your place?<br /><br /><b>Shady Gardener ~ </b>That's lavender on the ceiling! It's hanging everywhere, which is why it smelled so good in there.<br />As Carolee has agreed in her comment, it is 'Samurai.' <br /><br /><b>Carolee ~ </b>Well, it was obvious to me that you are very knowledgeable about not only the things you carry at the farm, but about a great deal of other aspects of gardening. It was fun talking with you!<br /><br /><b>Carol ~ </b>You know, I saw her book in the gift shop and meant to pick it up, but there was so much we had to see while we were there, and that was when we first got there, that I just forgot! I had wanted to get it and have her sign it. I'll have to do that on the next visit (if I can wait that long).Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-16624586373026532442009-10-02T23:14:32.922-04:002009-10-02T23:14:32.922-04:00Carolee is as nice as can be, as all gardeners are...Carolee is as nice as can be, as all gardeners are. I'm looking forward to visiting her herb farm, too, perhaps in the spring or at the height of lavender bloom time. She might not blog, but she has written a book and I'm looking forward now to reading it!Carol Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796344366326535406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-53090896502185843472009-10-02T23:02:49.289-04:002009-10-02T23:02:49.289-04:00What a LOVELY article! Thank you so much for the ...What a LOVELY article! Thank you so much for the kind words, and terrific photos. I looked up the toad lily after you left, and I agree it is Samurai, which also has a variegated edge, but is slightly more creamy and the flower color is a little different, too. So, I'm happy that it was actually correctly labeled, and sorry that I couldn't immediately identify it. When one grows over 2,000 varieties, it can be a little difficult to memorize each and every one, especially when they are similar. I just ordered three more toad lilies today, so I'll have a bunch come spring. Right now I am working on Stachys....I love them (I have 8 kinds now, but I'm expanding for next year) but they are a confusing lot! What a puzzle, but that is winter fun in the garden!<br /><br />Again, thank you, <br />CaroleeCaroleehttp://www.caroleesherbfarm.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-10076730398043969252009-10-02T22:51:16.448-04:002009-10-02T22:51:16.448-04:00Hi Kylee, Back again!

The photo of the gift shop was quite interesting... what is on the ceiling??<br /><br />I thought I had 'Samurai' but it's 'Seiryu' so I couldn't compare mine. If you go here, you can see a photo of my 'Gilt Edge.' I can see a problem in identification if they're very similar! http://yardisgreen.blogspot.com/2009/09/oops-i-mislabeled-tricyrtis-in-earlier.htmlShady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-22280577583144213292009-10-02T20:40:27.398-04:002009-10-02T20:40:27.398-04:00I love the herb bench at this location.
