Thanks for taking the challenge, Rosemary, and thanks for reading my blog! I'm continually impressed at the lists of folks who participate, and yours is no exception. I'm trying golden alexanders from seed this year too! I loved reading the names in French as well -- such a pretty language. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Congratulations! You are growing some that I might not be able to grow here because of our warm winters. Tried wintergreen too last year but I think it is too dry in the Ozark plateau, I might try it again this year in a moister spot. Visit my blog for my partial list!
