Actually they are selling the stuff that didn't sell out last weekend this weekend. See flier for details: Garden Club plant sale Friday, March 14th 8am til 12 (unless we sell out earlier). Look for signs on Brown Rd. 1 block east of Stapley (south on Diane). All plants grown by club members and hardened off and ready to plant. We're offering rare and unusual plants you won't find at local nurseries, some are limited quantities so come early for best selection. Here is a link that might be useful: See the flier here

Well how are they doing? As you know they are native to the coastal plain and grow in a much different climate and entirely different soil. I gotta say the selection at this sale was great. They really did have what they said they would have on the list. Although I didn't pick up anything myself it was nice to see there were that many people that are into trees. Too bad they are so far away from here or I would get involved. I find it amazing how the variety of this sidewalk sale was better than any for profit nursery in the area.

I can still remember back in the old days when it seemed the UT Gardens were more about plants than whatever they are about now days. Hardscape is nice, but it needs plants to go with it. Some garden art is great, but tacky garden art is tacky. Lots of tacky garden art without plants looks even more tacky. I'm still looking forward to seeing what they do this year. Maybe things have hit bottom and will improve from this point on. At least I hope that's what happens. FOG is doing a good job on their publications and newsletters. I got my quarterly newsletter a few days ago and thought it was one of my horticultural magazines at first glance.

Melinda, so sorry to hear about your poor health but I sure hope you are on the mend soon. I am encouraged to see that you feel ok enough to post on GW!! Thoughts of good health are headed your way! Margo, so sorry to hear about your friend Mona being diagnosed with cancer. I hope everything turns out for the best. It's amazing how much things like this impact us all. I'm trying to narrow down choices for the yard sale. It's hard!! Shirley, As requested: my pet robin. As of this week, baby robin has finally become independent. Yesterday was the first day s/he didn't answer me when I called, which means the robin raising was a success!
