Get the gloves . . get the shovel! . . .

It's time to plant! Finally after below normal temperatures we are in for some warmer weather. With that comes the start of flower pot dumping of the old and filling with the new. Weeding out the old dirt and adding some Miracle Grow potting soil so the blooms get big and last until September. That's the goal! I need to do some bragging about our school's plant sale. It is held annually by our AG Dept. and this year the plants look professionally grown! The flowers look as hearty and healthy as I have ever seen them. The kids in the class have 5 huge greenhouses filled with all kinds of bedding plants, hanging baskets, ground cover and planter boxes . . it's great! They help load stuff up on carts and wheel them right to your car or truck. People in the Grove are truly good supporters of the plant sale and look forward to it every year. The kids do love to see me coming with my checkbook! "Mrs. C. do you like our flowers? Don't they look good? I started all of these petunias in this greenhouse from seed and look at them! Wow, are all these flats going to fit in your truck?" . . uuhhh..I hope so! The kids are soo proud, it's nice that they can see people snatching them up for planting. Come on out to the Grove! the sale runs this Saturday and next Saturday from 9am - 6pm. You won't be sorry :)
