    Weekend house work was put on hold. Up and out of the house by 8AM to the Master Gardener's Plant Sale at the Centralia Fair Grounds. It was packed, but I was able to load up a shopping cart.

    Great buy on plants ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden )

    What a deal: 4 monkshood (gal), 4 hostas, 5 heuchera in 3 new to me colors, 3 pulmoloria, 1 bee balm and 2 astrantia. All for only $30. I think I will have some new blooms and a full woodland garden this summer.

    I got all of those planted and watered in as well as 8 more bee balm from the nursery. Still have the Pulmonaria pots to plant, but think I'll take a nap.

    Great selection and obviously great prices. Did you dream of your new plants during your nap? :-D

    That's quite a bit of potting up you had to do. I hope you managed to get the Pulmonaria done too after your nap. You certainly did well picking all those up for only $30. :-D

    All in the ground, and waiting for blooms now. The hummingbirds should love all the newly planted flowers this summer.

    Great haul! :D I'd love to have a closer look at the Heuchera once they're settled in.
