Bubbles said:I think I was first exposed to "it" when I took the Master Gardener classes years ago. It laid dormant for a while. Then I dragged DH to Houston for a TX swap weekend of trading plants, eating great food, and wine tasting. It was downhill from there. I met some of the Louisiana bunch on DG and we were off to Baton Rouge for another swap the next spring. The garden was filling up quickly.
I had to really whine to get DH to go back to LA the next year for another spring swap and nursery tour. We were all to meet in Forrest Hills, LA for the first day. I neglected to mention to DH that some of the wholesale nurseries would sell to Master Gardeners. The first one we went to was Doug Young's. All my plants for the swap were in the back of our truck, so DH asked if he could park under a tree while I shopped. The girl said we'd better take our truck 'cause the nursery was 150 acres!
DH would stop and I'd run from one end of a greenhouse to the other where he's pick me up for the drive to the next one. They gave us a price list and a another sheet to write down what we were buying. 'Said to just throw it in our truck. I was like a kid in a candy store and couldn't make any decisions. I bought some things, but knew we still had to go to the swap the next day. The truck would only hold so much. I guess I figured I'd always get back there one day (untethered by Mr. "Where are you going to put it?"). There are miles of nurseries along that highway. If you ever get the chance to drive that way, it's worth just looking.

Now, I go on nursery hops to other towns with fellow enablers here. Wow, it really is a sickness, isn't it? Don't tell anyone.
