Hi Linda ... Yay, another Tennessee gardener checks in!!
Thank you. My grandmother had a big bank of pink creeping phlox of various shades on the hill leading to the upper garden on their farm, and still to this day, I can close my eyes and see it. That was one of the first things I planted here when we moved to TN ... that and forsythia, flowering quince, and one of those bright magenta crepe myrtles. I can't believe how early these are blooming. And things have really taken off after the storms. I could see the growth of some things overnight.
Great score at Walmart!!
They don't water their plants at the store near me either. They are frequently too dry and sometimes too wet. A lot of them seem to die. But they have gotten stingy about putting them on clearance and often just throw them away instead.
Red, how did you all fare in the storms over there?
