Will do! A few years ago it was really great, and last year was a big disappointment. I hope this one is like my first time there. I found a great tool (the rotoshovel), Virginia Bluebells, and the best French tarragon I’ve ever had. All of those purchases are still going strong.

I’m getting the Spring planting fever! I will have to temper myself and hold back as best as I can. I’m a sucker for things that are beautiful but that I have no experience with. I also usually purchase more than I can reasonably plant in a couple of weeks. Notorious actually.

I have to be very disciplined this year. I will be away 3 of 4 weekends in May, and two of those are long weekends (Thursday to Monday). I must not overpurchase! When I get back in June, I will have a week or so to finish up.

I hope this event on Saturday is more like the one in 2022. I’m really hoping it all works out!

French tarragon is not easy to find. Mine died last year and I’m still looking for some. They have something called Mexican tarragon that isn’t even tarragon.

Famous last words for me, yesterday! Or maybe I should just stay away from sales and clearances at Menards, Rural King, Wal Mart, and Aldi. I hit all of 'em, yesterday. I put half the "stuff" back and still bought too much! And my Amazon order arrived too!
