I know, I'm going to burn myself out on posting at this rate. But, that's me: all or nothing-girl. I wanted to get this post in about Simmons' Plant Farm before I forget too much.I placed an order with Simmons' last Monday (Feb 11th) and then proceeded to bug them for two days to make sure they received my order. I even placed a call to them--very friendly folks over there, I must say. Well, after a week of me haunting my front yard, the plants arrived yesterday. I was so excited! They arrived in a big brown truck and were delivered by a super friendly young man who must have thought I was a bit touched by the way I came racing around the side of the house. When he handed me the box, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed in the contents. It was heavy: only $8.00 to ship the entire order!
And what was inside?
- 50 asparagus crowns
- 50 strawberry crowns
- 2 blueberry bushes
- 6 rhubarb clumps (BIG)
- 3 horseradish stick thingies...I'm guessing I just plant them??
And, if you're looking to do any seed ordering, I cannot recommend Bountiful Gardens highly enough. I placed an order for tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, sorghum, sage, basil, cotton and pyrethrum seeds last night. $22.00 including shipping. These seeds are all open-pollinated and they sell several heirloom varieties. Great, great, great!

You and my mom would get along famously! Sometimes I wondered if she loved her garden more than us kids... ha ha! I think it was because the garden didn't talk back to her :)
Have a wonderful time getting dirty! Your garden is sure to be amazing!
