Left before the final diagnosis on the fan. Gave some university people a tour of the gardens and tried to recruit them to take one of our open positions. I am shameless.
Maureen showed up late and went into meltdown. She was waiting to get to the garden to lose it. Her husband wasn't up by the time she was ready to leave and she was afraid he was dead in his bed. He woke up so she didn't have to go in and see. He could go any day or hang on a few more years. As I've said or meant to say, it's good we have gardening to take our minds off things. Never occured to me that I would be there for so many people dealing with death.
On a happier note, the parks picked up their milkweed today. She came in a short bed, pick up. I filled that up.
She left with 9 flats. I threw in a few of her annual flats. Well over $1000 worth of plants if they had to buy them. That milkweed is gold and I can tell you one of the easiest plants to grow. I thought she was going to dance out of here.
Showed her my groundsel and she would like me to grow some of that for them next year for their shade area. I'll give it a shot along with more milkweed.
I went to pick up a Sullivant milkweed for my display but they aren't in yet. Picked up a Whorled one instead because you can't go plant shopping and not buy a plant!
Did get all their plant labels ready to go. I so want to jump on my display and get it in the ground. Hopefully next week but I'll be waiting on two plants.
