Spent the morning out in the country at our favorite garden center which keeps expanding and getting larger every year. It's starting to get a bit overwhelming especially after some health issues I've experienced this past year. It makes me yearn for the days when there were only a couple of greenhouses that you could navigate quite efficiently. Now they hand you a map with over 40 greenhouses and an endless choice of plants to choose from. Talk about being a kid in a candy shop! I know progress is good, but not always better. Even a seasoned gardener such as myself starts feeling a bit exhausted by the endless varieties to choose from. I sometimes long for the small, simple garden centers which are getting harder to come by these days. It makes ones choices so much simpler and easier. But, I do have to say I found some gorgeous hanging baskets and herbs at very reasonable prices so I shouldn't complain. But I will try to purchase some things this week at the smaller garden centers so I can do my part to help them stay in business. Oh, and as soon as I hung up the impatien hanging baskets on the front porch, the hummingbird was there checking out her supply of goodies.
