Lisa - I honestly have no idea how close this nursery is to Wilmington but check out peppers green house 13034 Cedar Creek Rd, Milton, DE 19968 Their prices are amazing and selection is incredible. All kinds of Hardy as well as Tropicals!!!!

Was so excited to find this fairy garden starter 'kit' at Aldi's today for the granddaughters!!! But wait there's more...they'd clearanced their hanging baskets to .99!!!! Woot-woot!!!

“Little girl, why are you doing this? You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!” After a few moments thought, she bent down, picked up another starfish & hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference to that one!” Be the change you wish to see in the world. http://www.stillsthatspeak.com...

Chantell, Peppers is a fave. When we have our Lewes beach trip, I always pencil in a run to Peppers.

Lisa, Carolyn's Shade Garden is in Bryn Mawr, PA. Not too far over the DE state line north of Wilmington. She has open houses, but will also open if you contact her. I have always wanted to go, but haven't yet.

I have been to Ronny's Garden World in Smyrna, DE. It has been about five years though since last visit.

We FINALLY started on the backyard! I'm so exited! One thing I have learned in the south - tell them to take their time...never again! They operate on 'southern slow time' & I'm one who expects things to get done yesterday! Grumbling

I have a honeysuckle I'm planting on one pergola, but want to plant 2 wisterias as well

Hilarious!

A little more planting last night, then thunder and a rain shower during the middle of the night. I swear the tomatoes have doubled since they got planted Sunday.
Plant it and they will come.

I want one of those signs. Hilarious!

You go Bec, it looks like you have plenty of lawn to cover. Hilarious!

I didn't get anything other than watering the GH, just another bad day.

Actually, that's really remarkable photography as well as a beautiful bloom! Nicely done, Bec, thx for sharing!

Yes I do! Sticking tongue out

but in this one singular instance, we are the leg-pullers

Hey! Who is planning to go to the big spring plant sale at Green Springs this Saturday?

I might bail (you saw my backlog, plus something else came up that I might not be able to foist off on Jim), but Aspenhill and I were talking about it. Whoever-all goes, let's make a plan to meet up, do lunch, something... post if you're going and somebody can do a group email to make plans and get cell numbers...

The Lost Gardens of Emily Dickinson! The Emily Dickinson Museum has brought her orchard back to life, with a team of archaeologists uncovering her lost conservatory.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05...

Make sure to click on the slideshow to check out the collection of plants that she pressed, including marijuana, maple leaf viburnum, and even poison ivy!

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church –
I keep it, staying at Home –
With a Bobolink for a Chorister –
And an Orchard, for a Dome
— Emily Dickinson

Wow, reading Dickinson brings me right back to undergrad poetry class. Smiling I doubt I'd get a chance to get to Amherst, Mass, anytime soon, but I'd love to visit the museum and the restored gardens.
