Well, after being here in Pine Grove Holler for 5 years we have been asked by a smallish group if theu could tour our gardens... They are coming this Wednesday... I wish it was next week but I'll take off from my landscaping job today and tomorrow and get the stuff planted that needs to be planted before the tour...

Spent yesterday in Charlottsville, Va. with the Azealea Society... We set up a booth at one of the stops of the "Charlottesville Historic Garden Tour" where other venders and associations were invited to participate... We were next to a booth that specialized in native wild flowers and they had a tray of them set up as a quiz... I reckon I surprised them by knowing them all!!! No, not the Latin names but the common names... We had a purdy good day, however, and sold about $700 worth of azalaes and got 2 new members (possibly 3) for our chapter... That was really more the goal than selling plants...

Opps!!! 8:10 and I gotta go...

Happy gardening!!!
