Hello Martha,
its been 2 months since ive been reading your blog, and wondering how wonderful person you are must be, its great knowing your activities, and how much you have learn even in a day!, I'm writing from Malaysia, its been great knowing you, you inspire me, theres so many things i want to ask, or atleast to get your advise.

One main question is, I'm newly married about 4 months, working, students and wonder how to actually juggle my life and study.. it would be great if i could so many things in so little time with great energy.

How do you manage your time and at the same time manage to spend time with your family and houseworks like laundry and all..

Just a piece of advise would give me a great help, especially if it comes from you.

thanks

Marina - Malaysia

Martha,
Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful images from the New York Unit's Herb Fair. As a member of the Board of Directors of The Herb Society of America I greatly appreciate your support of our organization.

Lovely photos of a truly superlative event. They make me wish very much that I could have attended the New York Unit's herb festival. As a member of The Herb Society of America myself, I can easily imagine from experience of the Philadelphia Unit's annual herb sale what a wonderful aura of fragrance suffused that big white tent.
The Herb Society may not have a unit in the Des Moines area, but one needn't be a member of a unit to belong to The Society. The Herb Society Web site will be happy to provide details (www.herbsociety.org) Happy herbing.

I wish I could have one of each product. They look so real and organic. Anyone knows if they have a unit in Des Moines, Iowa?

Thank you for the great pictures of the New York Unit of the Herb Society of America's 61st Annual Herb Fair. It was indeed glorious and your team did a great job on the pictures. Not only did many of us can, bake, make potpourri, bring plants, help with lunch and soup, we are fans of yours. An article on our 93 year old champion tarragon mustard maker and retired ob/gyn, Ruth Robertson would be an outstanding piece on a life well lived.

I worked at the Bake Table on the day of the Herb Fair at John Jay. It was a wonderful day and we had a lot of home baked goods. All was sold. Did not see a picture of the Bake Table.
It was filled with all kind of goodies. I have been a member of the Herb Society for 20 years.
Martha Thank You for your beautiful pictures of the Fair.

-- Hi. Thurs., 9/30/09 I harvested grapes in Cambridge, Vt. Pruners & garden shears are used to cut clusters from vines. Thanks for allowing me to attend an herb fair electronically. --
