You’ve been busy!
As for the Garden Centers gearing up, now is certainly the time. I was ‘in the biz’ for 18 years. If you’re not fully stocked with anything and everything right before Mother’s Day (whether it’s early or late that year) you may as well pack up and go home, LOL!
And no matter how many lovely offerings you put out, there will always be that ONE customer that wants what you don’t have or is illegal to propagate and/or sell. ;)
Our Farm & Fleet has been newly remodeled and is having a ‘Grand Re-Opening’ Sale, so we are hitting it today. We had one HUGE list but last night split it into two. The place will be packed so I suggested we ‘Divide and Conquer’ first thing, and then go out for Pancakes. Beau thought it was the Best. Idea. Ever. EVER! :)
Hah! And I’ve not gotten 1/2 of what needs to be done, done. Including a lot of mowing... :-(
“Light Showery” forecast today again too. At least we finally got a little more decent rain last night so I have about 8 gallons of new rainwater collected. :-)
Our Menards seems to get a lot of veggies in late. I’m still hoping more types and varieties will show up this week. I’m wondering if Menards sort of gets surpluses and scraps — their “regular” price at $2.99 for the 6-packs is certainly stomping their competition around here (So. IL and W. KY). IIRC that was the price, even in the Chicago ‘burbs when I was up there last late May.
My shishitos came today. Two plants! I thought they would be sending two extras as they have done before. Guess I will have to make do with two. The horror....the horror....
