This morning, I took time out of my busy schedule to observe one of my own high holy days. Not the rapture (like that needed saying). & no, it is not the library book sale; those are April & October. Today was the annual Master Gardeners Plant Sale.
I look forward to this sale all year; well for months anyhow. I start making lists of things to try & find at the sale. In the past I have hunted lilies of the valley, any white flowering flower, something that will survive deep shade, lemon tree, plum tree, any kind of flowering fruit tree. This year I went looking for the fruit trees, especially lemon & plum, lavender & catnip. Last year I got the worlds most gynormous catnip plant for W***** & now I want one for my own cats.
I came home with a catnip plant & nothing else I went for. There were flowering fruit trees, but nothing that really whet my appetite. The lavenders sold out before I got there, less than an hour after the sale started (curse you people who can leave home before milking the cow). Instead I got lime basil plant, a lemon balm & two cannas. The taste for cannas was slow in coming to me, but now whenever I see one that even suggests it might be a color I do not already have, I must purchase it.
