They're doing a great mail-order business though, so all's good—well, except for all the lost business from the spring plant sales that are cancelled.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-59748032773176925482020-04-06T13:45:00.774-07:002020-04-06T13:45:00.774-07:00If I wrapped myself in shrink wrap, do you think I...If I wrapped myself in shrink wrap, do you think I could lose a few pounds and get a nice svelte figure like that?Jane Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016381279699618539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-16379843634442418922020-04-06T13:15:42.238-07:002020-04-06T13:15:42.238-07:00Thanks for the virtual visit, Gerhard! Like Kathy...Thanks for the virtual visit, Gerhard! Like Kathy, I had to make do with perusing the online catalog and placing a mail order (not due to be delivered until the 17th). My closest garden center, part of a chain, is closed to in-store shopping but they're accepting orders for pickup or delivery, and I placed one of those today. Roger's, still open an hour's drive south, continues to tempt me. I'm spending more time in my own garden these days, and have queued up a number of projects. In the good news-bad news category, it seems I may even have an opportunity to complete all of them.

I could use some garden-center/nursery therapy myself, but staying home. There's always autumn for planting new things. <br /><br />Only 19 plants?

Or maybe I should say 2 so far ! The idea of driving on a low-traffic I80 was compelling though. I did get in my car on Friday and drove to Glen Ellen and back just to get out in the world. Took plenty of coffee and never got out of my car. Annies is looking splendid right now.kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847026541797857854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-67277677603093216272020-04-06T12:11:23.094-07:002020-04-06T12:11:23.094-07:00Thanks for this, Gerhard, nothing like bountiful, ...Thanks for this, Gerhard, nothing like bountiful, colorful gardens to cheer one up!
