[Nfb-krafters-korner] Spice bags and gardening

[Susan Roe]

Hi Valerie,

Sorry for the spelling of this word, but the scented leaf geraniums that you 
mentioned are called pelagoniums.  There are many different scented 
geraniums out there to choose from such as:  peppermint, spearment, rose, 
apple, lemon, chocolate and so on.
