But, nurseries are another story. I can easily shop 'til I drop at the plant store.<br /><br />PS: The be all, end all of goodies (and this comes straight from the horse's mouth) are the Nicker Makers.

One of the cool things about living in a ski resort is how there's all of these amazing restaurants - with no customers, in between ski season and golf season. So, we had a fabulous brunch. It was a good day. :)Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-16463009400144316892010-05-10T07:46:32.701-06:002010-05-10T07:46:32.701-06:00She'll understand even better after a few year...She'll understand even better after a few years pass. ;-) (From my point of view, you had a Great Day!)Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-34413044177892127502010-05-10T04:43:59.809-06:002010-05-10T04:43:59.809-06:00I need to buy a pineapple sage and grow it sometim...I need to buy a pineapple sage and grow it sometime.
