Chris...that's a real pity. The plants you sent me were beautifully grown, and, like Gene's, never batted an eye after they were planted. I sure hope you put your hands on that land soon. It's a pretty good time to buy if the timing's right for you. I loved your roof nursery....very resourceful:-) Joanie Anderson

Hi Joanie,

Unfortunately, no...  The nursery is currently shut down.

I ended up having way too much stock to grow at my house, so I tried
growing it at my parents' house.  Unfortunately, the greenhouse broke
zoning laws there, so it had to be torn down in early spring which
killed off 25% of the stock.

Then I tried putting it in the country at some friends' house, but it
was a 30-minute drive to pick up plants for orders and to take care of
the plants.  They were really good sports and watered for me and stuff,
but the location was just too far away.

Someday I hope to have some decent land where I can put in permanent
structures.  It felt like all of my time was spent shuffling plants
from one location to the next and the business couldn't grow as a
result.  With dedicated land it should be a lot easier.

Chris
