Anyway, as you know, I am totally with you on the crazy times. And even though I do get to see you twice a week, I really don't get to 'see' you - work is so nuts. Still, I'm grateful for that - it would be so much worse if we had to shut our doors. I really hope we all learn what matters from this experience.Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-81120227074027997792020-04-20T19:56:39.403-07:002020-04-20T19:56:39.403-07:00Aah, of course...thank you Martin!

The little eye-shaped patch will remain grass but the area behind the path will now actually feel more like a border as it has three or four large shrubs (still immature) planted...they won't feel so much like satellites floating in a sea of green!<br />Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-31340913187130704232020-04-11T09:41:19.663-07:002020-04-11T09:41:19.663-07:00Aw, thank you Danger...really, thank you.

That's great!<br /><br />I hear a lot of nurseries and garden centers are doing similar setups - limited # of shoppers at a time, social distancing, will-calls, etc. - whatever works. People have been generally pretty cool about it all.<br /><br />Mail order is a great way to go and ours at Joy Creek is in full gear right now, which is not surprising.

I love it. The Osmanthus! Last spring I bought Osmanthus fragrans aurantiacus ‘Apricot Echo’ from Almost Eden. I was impressed by how big the plant was when it arrived and it has bloomed off and on ever since, even in winter. Of course we had a mild winter so this really doesn't count. I hope we both have years of success with it. That pathway is great! Nice job FM! I am a homebody by nature so staying home isn't a big deal for me but I feel for those who are pulling their hair out. :) GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-2213959193038855162020-04-09T14:16:46.980-07:002020-04-09T14:16:46.980-07:00Excellent commentary on our current predicament, a...Excellent commentary on our current predicament, and beautiful plants to boot.

I LOVE your Epimedium! Good work on the part of your FM too. My spouse is working on new compost binds and a paved garbage bin path - or he will be getting back to that when it stops raining here anyway. I'm sure your customers are pleased that your nursery is open. My local garden center shut down in-store traffic. You can call and ask for specific things and they'll arrange for you to pick these up if they have them but you can't see what they have in inventory so it's hit-and-miss (and mostly "miss" in my case). I'm spending more time with mail order sources.<br /><br />Best wishes to you and your FM, Tamara!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-57358616914543568282020-04-09T11:43:47.710-07:002020-04-09T11:43:47.710-07:00All so very pretty.

I have had one for a dozen years and it is one of my favourites. Do you grow Jeffersonia dubia? Another spring beauty.
