At the recent Green and Growin' Show I bought a small booth, but when I went to pick up the plants a little before closing time, someone had taken at least half of them! I knew the booth owner had to leave early, so since they were not "guarded," I guess that is a possible result. I did get enough plants for it to be a value, but the very ones I really wanted were the ones that were taken!

Still, I am so disappointed that someone took plants I had paid for. I just had to vent, and I hope GW'ers will forgive this negative post. I always think of gardeners and plant people as the earthy types, not given to greed or other negative qualities. Once more I realize that there are "bad" people in every walk of life. What a let down!

Need to emphasize that "glass half-full" philosophy, but it is hard.
