The girls teased him about tracking me so I wouldn't buy too much.

At DY, I did find a 3 gallon Pineapple Guava for $7. and a 3 gal. Rosy-Glo Barberry that was $5. And I also bought a dark blue plumbago, and that was about it. But.....I know the way there now...and I'm going to go back....with a list, a long list.... Smock and Smockette went off to find liners. She wasn't as impressed with Doug Young's wholesale prices, but she was only there a few minutes and didn't go to the greenhouses. She was looking for stuff to resell.

If the snails don't eat everything I've planted out front, I'll be glad to share the monardas. I understand they need to be corralled or they take over. I wanted something for the butterflies, bees, and the hummers. We're on the flyway for the Monarchs. They come right up the street,.. literally. A few yrs ago, they were hanging on the trees all piggy-back. They looked like leaves...hundreds of 'em. They were on the way back to Mexico, trying to beat a cold front in October. After the winter freeze, I didn't have anything for them to eat on the migration back north this year.
