I made it! Actually, I went twice - I was waiting in line when they opened this morning, and also went back in the afternoon... I got some garden phlox "Nora Leigh", heliotrope, spiderwort, Victor Reiter cranesbill (looks lovely - purple/green leaves), pink turtlehead, forget-me-nots, babys breath, two tomato plants - a white tomato and a microtom tomato (its the one that only grows to be like 6 inches tall), tomatillo, and some herbs (flax, oregano, tarragon, lavender). I was a little disappointed at the herbal selection this year. Last year they had lots of different kinds of basil, while this year they just had the basics. I went back on my lunch hour, and a lot of the stuff was gone already. And I even stayed under my $50 limit! Most of the plants ranged from 4.50 to 8.00, and all the herbs were 2.50. I know I could probably find the herbs cheaper other places, but these looked really healthy. They also had hypertuffa mixes for sale for $12, but I'm not sure I'd ever have the time to mix it, so I didn't buy any.
