Ditto, Di!

Although it was dreary and raw today, and we got a lot done in the greenhouse in between customers! LOL

I’m pooped! It was one of our busiest days since Christmas; foreshadowing of things to come, I hope!

I have tomorrow off, so I’m going to ‘The Garden Expo’ with Husband, Dad and my SIL, Kellie. Can’t wait! We’ll ditch Dad & Husband and Kel & I will get all ‘girly over gardening’ tomorrow. Husband likes to grow food, Dad just likes to mow grass, but there will be plenty of riding mowers and other gadgetry for them both to lust after. ;)

Actually, it’s partly a ‘spy mission’ to see what the competition in the area is up to; we haven’t had a booth in a few years as it’s not lucrative enough (because it falls when things are picking up for us at Jung’s) and frankly, the expo is sort of turning into a craft show. :(

BUT, I get to visit with my pal Shelley Ryan, ‘The Wisconsin Gardener’. She’s a HOOT! We got to be friends when I managed The Seed Savers Garden Store in town and we sold her videos and she did some episodes about us. I want to be her when I grow up. She’s our local ‘Martha Stewart’ but she rankles at that...she’s a total Farm Girl. :)
