Kudos to Margie

I knew that having my sister-in-law moving to town was either going to be really weird (since none of Kevin's relatives have lived near us for over 2 years) or really awesome. I can officially say it's really awesome.

I escaped, er, took a break from the house yesterday to go downtown (D.C., not Frederick) to visit an historic home and have lunch with Margie. What did she show up with the most perfect gardening book ever.

After our struggles with planting seedlings, not knowing how to tend them, when to replant them outside (they're currently taking over our solarium), what to plant next to whom and how to actually keep them alive I was a little fearful of any success. She bought us this great hardcover book that has giant photos of how your plants should look in various stages, how to get them to actually grow and where to plant them. Bless you Margie!
