This is the store I'm familiar with, an old haunt during my Portland dwelling. I used to take my now-grown kids there. My son was so helpful with the wagons. He's a grown man now. Where does the time go? <br /><br />My Dicksonia is dead. I was at Home Despot [yes, I spelled it that way on purpose] yesterday looking for another small plant. I won't be stupid twice.... well I might be...<br /><br />I know what you mean about leaving without the coveted plant. Sometimes buying it just doesn't feel right. There's no seriously tangible explanation for the internal resistance. Yet if it gnaws away at you, you'd better get back there. I've done this many times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-38421328090184296402010-03-31T08:11:35.179-07:002010-03-31T08:11:35.179-07:00I always forget to go to this location, although I...I always forget to go to this location, although I always love it when I go there.

Not the most attractive but it will be covered up, presumably, in time. Maybe they should have painted it dirt brown or something... Nice finds! When I'm not supposed to be spending money, nurseries are the first places I have to cross of my list!

I ripped out a perfectly healthy grass thing to plant the new purchase. It was a thug of a grass thing...and ceased to make me happy some time ago...but still. Good luck finding a home for your juniper!<br /><br />Evelyn, thank you! We are currently scheming a green wall approach to the back of our garage. It will be a while but I am very excited about it!<br /><br />J.J., thanks!<br /><br />Matti, I realize now I should have got a shot of the drip system they were using to water....duh.<br /><br />Mary C, other than just that it is a sedum I don't.

I didn't, because I couldn't figure out where to put it. But like you and your Veratrum, it's been haunting me. I may end up getting it, if I can just figure out a good location. If not, I guess PN will let me have visitation rights...<br /><br />I admire your program of nursery visits. Since I've been on shortened hours, I've been able to get to several nurseries I don't visit regularly.
