Ohhhh,
I so love those photos Marilyn.

And Greg you will get to meet her brother today (Saturday). He is coming with me. Bringing his flute to entertain the shoppers.

Have been out of commission doing concerts and internet down. Have missed so much@! Love the childhood photos!

The seedlings are coming up like weeds now. It's going to be a LONG spring.

Just got a load of compost and some new topsoil to work over a couple beds and expand a couple others. Hopefully it will all look perfect on May 3rd. So looking forward to visiting with you all again. Such a nice group of people.

Kevin

Knowing you Kevin, it will all be marvelous when we all get there.
I can't wait to see all the new hybrids, semps, sedum, iris, lilies of all kinds, hostas. Oh my.

Going to be wet work. Hope you covered you load with a tarp. Your yard is fantastic and a treasure trove of wonders.

Can anybody answer my question: I tried googling "plant nurseries near salem or" and Perennial Obsession does not appear on two of the listings that came up from search. Are they not located in Salem?

Nope they're outside of salem in a place called Hopewell

Bev, if you type in succulent nursery, salem, oregon, it's at the top of my google search.

On my way back outside to finish planting the new things I got from Wild Ginger Farm and Edelweiss.

You didn't wait for Sunday Garden Fair?

I'm bad. But that doesn't mean I can't buy more at the Canby Garden Fair.

I noticed that Wild Ginger Farm isn't shipping this year. That makes it even more important to get out to these sales. They have the real specialty plants that are hard to find.

Oh my goodness. I just read what they posted. http://wildgingerfarm.com/stor...
It is sure a good thing we will all be seeing them the first Sunday of May.

Guess I lucked out on getting my order. I wonder if they will be going back with on-line sales next year?

I was wondering too. I expect they will be at Rickreal come Sept.

Yes, there is Rickreal as a nice backup.

Thanks Connie for letting us know! I love their website! And am excited to see them at Canby in May!!

That's really a shame that they won't be shipping this year. Sure hope it's only for this year.....

I did email them saying that I hope everyone is good and planning to see them at Canby, and received a very nice reply!! (never ordered from them but like their website!)

Here are some of my "other" semps...the ones here at my house.
