Hmm, sorry I can't go tomorrow Lindsey. I volunteered (they called just an hour ago with "Help!") at the sailing club for a regatta. One thing about Mr. Storm - beware his pricing (especially if he doesn't have any prices on his plants) as I found the prices he posts on his website are really high. More even than show prices from other growers. If you really are "unimpressed" I'd make him a low ball offer or two, and if he says he wants $45 for a catt you'd usually pay $25 for, tell him so. They are snowbirds, and getting ready to head back up north, so I would think he'd be open to offers right now to help reduce his inventory.

Darn, Jim you sure do keep busy. You're just finishing up your talks, and I'm just starting - I give my "School Gardens" and "Edibles" talks in the summer - one in June and three in July - so I get some volunteer hours indoors, out of the heat. I've about given up serving at the Plant Clinic desk which I used to do in summer. Too many days the phone never rings . . . more people research online now, I'm thinking.
