Saturday Garden Adventures
This has been a brilliant day. First a garden club meeting with an excellent program about soil, lawns and trees (need to talk with presenter; she should do some videos), then the Agri-Fest in Cleveland (bought some tomatoes from LoganBerry Farm and a Sedum from Full Bloom Nursery), then to Lula (bought planters at Wayne Wilson's), a stop at the Hall County Master Gardeners' Garden Expo (OMG - I got this gorgeous, gorgeous,almost 3-feet tall Hinoki cypress from Bannister Creek Nursery for $5; try finding it on-line, anywhere, for less than $25). Finally, I stopped at a local nursery for a bag of organic soil amendment stuff (peanut shells, chicken poop and cotton stalks, I have been told . . .) and a few bales of pine straw. Guess what I will be doing in the morning - until the rain arrives. And do we ever need that rain!

Sounds like a perfect day! Glad you stopped by the HCMG Fall Expo! It was another great one! You also shopped at some of my favorite places....love LoganBerry Farm and Full Bloom Nursery! Happy planting!
Lya, your site is wonderful. I will definitely add a link to it on Atlanta Garden Connection. Our paths cross once again!
Hi Lya! Love the post! Your Saturday sounds like it really was full and productive after you left the Garden Club Meeting, not to mention exhilarating! I can tell how excited you are to get in that dirt! :) Me too! Can't wait to see that tree!
Thanks, Karin, Diane and Catherine, for your comments.
It's great gardening wheather this week, isn't it?
