And So It Begins

With trepidation, I tootled over to Lowe's to check out the plants that were on sale. At 2 for $5, the Proven Winners sounded like a good deal. Rarely do I find plants in good condition there or at Home Depot, but it was worth a chance. Boy, I lucked out! Although the selection was not vast, what they did have seemed quite healthy. There were good prices on other (not PW) selections, too, so I came away with enough planting material to start digging tomorrow, when the weather forecast looks promising. I'm also going to check out HD later today (before the punters descend on Saturday), which is also having a sale, in hopes that the plants they have in stock are also in good shape. I know that by the weekend, there will probably be nothing worth buying. But maybe today I'll have some more success.

By next week, I'll be ready to hit the better nurseries--Schartner Farms and The Farmer's Daughter, for starters, and perhaps try out a new (to me) nursery called Blue Moon. I've made a list, and I'll really try to stick with it, although I make that promise every year and then succumb to "Oh Look--Something Shiny Syndrome."
