Garden Conference

[days_unfolding]

I was at a garden conference this morning. It was interesting, and I learned a few things, but I think that the handouts they gave us with Web site URLs will be the most useful information of all. The last session was a question and answer session, and I decided to skip it because I was really tired. I won a door prize of what I thought was a funny looking plant with leaves that stood straight up and green buds with a tinge of purple, and some small purple flowers. It took me a while to realize that it was a hyacinth. (After all, I'm the person who didn't recognize corn when I saw it growing in California's Central Valley. I'm surprised that they let me back into Illinois. At least when I plant things in the garden, I'll know what they are because I'm the one who planted them. Labels would be good too.)

I'm planning to go out later and run some errands, including taking notes on which stores sell which seeds and how much they cost for the gardening blog. I need to work on it this weekend.

But now, it's nap time....
