In spite of threats of a thunderstorm, which looks like it may not happen anyway, I stumbled around Hoosick Falls, NY, until I finally found Elhannon Garden Center.
Shades of Mahoney’s without the whoop-de-doo.
I bought ten plants: Astilbe, Phlox, creeping Phlox, Lady’s Mantle, Amsonia, Penstemon and Yarrow.
Ron and I planted them in a little over an hour: a record. Except for some neighboring tree roots and a couple of rocks, the soil in the old junk pile was a pleasure to work with. Easy dig that I figured would take hours.
I managed to knock the driver’s side mirror off the Corolla. The service person at KM in North Adams fixed it for me – clever gent, didn’t even charge me.
Four Suns packed up and if we see them again, it’ll likely not be until the winter.
