Does this mean you consider yours to be among the very cool specialty nurseries?

COUGH. COUGH.

"EVEN MORE SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! - March 1, 2011
Well between the snow/cold and the garden show mayhem we couldn't make it happen last week. Please check back on March 8 by which time we hope to have the new catalog completed!"

Ian, I appreciate the heads up! Taxes, weather - gardening hasn't been first on my list of plans for the day recently, I would have missed knowing about the opening and sale.

Saturday is committed unless we find a way to change plans but if at all possible, I'll find you and introduce myself on Sunday. And I'm looking forward to it, haven't been to a spring garden open or sale since Heronswood closed :) Thanks!

See: it's not just cactus and agave that produce barbs.

Yes, actually, my nursery is the coolest one.

Eeldip, did I say March 8? I meant March 88.

Actually, I'm trying to put together a functional online shopping cart. By myself. And it's not easy. Plus the regular nursery work goes on, and then on top of that the plant sale. But I'm not complaining - we all just do what we can I guess!

Mor, I look forward to meeting you if you can make it.

This time I am bringing no cacti and only a couple succulents. Mostly drought tolerant woodies.

I'm planning to go to this sale on Sunday too. Looking forward to it. Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is good.

This sale has been great so far. It has been very well attended and several vendors are calling it their "best sale ever." Some nearly sold out today and will be restocking for tomorrow. So, yay. I'm impressed!

Might be the neighborhood.
