| Our local bird store has an herb and perennial sale every year. They used to bring in antique roses, but the Knock Outs knocked them out. The sale is really a FUN time, visiting about plants under a tent!!! This year, I bought a few things early, then...I GOT the LEFTOVERS!! DH is going to till me a nursery bed in the back yard, close to the house so the deer don't trample everything, and then I will transplant as I get beds made. (My new backyard is a blank slate) I hope most of it survives!! |

| What fun, I love those kinds of sales. You lucky guys got to get stuff early and sounds like you got a good haul. New bed, even more exciting, it really helps to find stuff on sale if you have a blank slate in a new yard, congratulations on that. The big one here I wait all year for is June 21 -- The Annual Midnight Madness Sale. My favorite part is what I call 'The Hospital' where they have expensive plants with a few broken stems or some sort of cosmetic flaw. You can find $50 or $60 dollar plants for real cheap, like $5.00 or 3 gallon size shrubs for $3.00 and many assorted perennials, some are mystery plants without tags marked down to almost free. Its impulse buying heaven. Everything else is marked 1/2 down so they don't have to get it through summer. I can't wait. Good luck with your plants. I'm counting the days for our lottery. |
