Monday, 18 June 2007 - A new plant collection

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for a new plant collection.

They arrived today - three scented geraniums:

- Pelargonium x graveolens - Lady Plymouth: rose scented
- Pelargonium x capitatum - Atomic Snowflake: lemon-rose scented
- Pelargonium citrosa - Citronella: lemon-scented

A neighbor recently raved about her collection. So, needing another gardening challenge, I decided to start my own, ordering specimens from a Pelargonium-lover in Michigan.

I transplanted each into its own 8" clay pot. The trio is doing nicely, sitting in full sun near the tomato, pepper and watermelon plants.

I'll have to move them indoors during the cold months - a small inconvenience when I consider their aromatic contributions to my garden. Heavenly!

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
