Hey--everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know that HD has all kinds of wonderful, in-bloom, low-growing perennials in 6" pots. Lots and lots of them---$5.97. Like--candytuft, Rockcress, creaping flox, and many more I never heard of. Many suited for rock gardens....

Garden at HD is starting to rock and roll.....this weekend should be insane!!!!

Next weekend--April 11th--I go out to garden with my table and my "Garden Know-How Clinics" and will stay out there for the day.....(that's new to me!) Will be doing this every Sunday I can until end of June. Got my big sign up by the front entrance and made one yesterday and posted it by the garden gate. I am excited!!!!
AND---All this is my own doing--no one has asked me to do any of this. This will be the third year i am doing the "clinics"....

Will take my camera along on Sunday and take some pictures to show you all---especially of the different perennials....

Today--or tomorrow--will mow my lawn for the first time before we have another "monsoon"...

I choose different topics every week and they are posted on the BIG sign (by the entrance) a week in advance......Do you think anyone pays attention to the topics? NAH!!!!
I end up cruising around the garden and helping people do/choose the right thing. like....NOT buying a cart-full of cheap top soil if they are planning to start a flower garden.....OR--Stopping someone if they have in their cart BOTH a bag of lawn fertilizer with crabgrass pre-emergent AND a bag of grass seed.
"HEY! HOLD IT!!!! You CAN"T do both!!!"

Here's my table and me w/a customer in 2008. Gita
