RE: OT - nursery orders/supply


Barb, in my area, Portland Nursery is primo and very reliable.  But it
happens all the time.  They literally are at the mercy of the growers,
truly.

If I REALLY WANT SOMETHING, I mail order and pay the price to get what I
want.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
