Yes tillacum, heading out today toward MN for a couple of days. Then to see my in-laws who thankfully, I love dearly and have a great relationship with.
Good morning to all........sun shining, looks like another beautiful day.
Gulfcoast6.....Wonderful news about JT...I think he is one lucky boy to have found such a loving family.
Our GardenFest was a big success...we had lots of plants to give away...and there were many hard to find plants and herbs for sale.....LOts of craft items....One lady had herbs, along with salve, baths salts and such made from herbs, very interesting booth.....I didn’t buy any plants, I was looking for a bleeding heart plant but did have a fellow MasterGardener offer to give me a start next spring.
There were demostrations set up to attend during the day. The class on decorating pots was very interesting. I missed the “fairy garden” demo but saw the planted container later and it was quite unique. Have you all heard of these? I think a fairy garden around the base of tree would be very neat. A fun project with granddaughters!!
One fellow, who was there last year too, brings old/odd things....such as old bikes with baskets planted with flowers, old barn boards with signs painted on them, the old-fashion kind of watering cans that were over running with sweet alyssum...I bought one to set in my flower beds, I thought his prices were very fair.
This fellow is quite a character....he has a flair for planting flowers in what some folks would call junk....he brings his wares to sell in a wooden horse trailer that must have been built in the 20’s or 30’s. He did a lively business and sold most of his unusual potted plants.
I see on the news side that former President Carter has been running his mouth again........he is a mean, small minded man, isn’t he?
