Are you buying or selling??

Marguerite said...

Marguerite said...

too far for one plant but if you bought 10???

Marguerite said...

Thanks Carla it did. Too much rain but you can't stop gardeners!

Marguerite said...

I said I wouldn't overbuy, ( I think I always say that??) but I did anyway. oh dear me. so many trees - butternut, chestnut, maple. a golden nine bark, and of course the blooms - sedum, astilbe, forget me nots, fern leaf bleeding heart, catnip...

Marguerite said...

do we ever after that winter!! so nice to see sun and green grass again

Marguerite said...

a bit of both really. I'm on the Sale Committee so I'm responsible for finding plants to sell. (not to mention rounding up volunteers, finding raffle prizes, baking goodies, putting up posters....) All proceeds go to the Community schoolhouse and I tell you they got a good lot of my money too. I bought far more than I anticipated - as usual.

I love the sense of community you have built there. The power of plants! ;-)
