Hi from Gail Korn in frigid northeast Nebr. Temps are heading into minus
territory.
I got mosses to grow without actually "planting" them. I just poured a can
of beer where I wanted them to grow. Voila! They came by themselves.
My nursery is in that small category, and I have not yet done a web page.
Partly, my reason for sitting on the fence has to do with all the reasons
Gene Bush gave(extra expense, lots to learn with little time to do it).
And part of the reason is that I do grow my own plants and often remark
that they are not Fritos. I can't just go make more. By the end of each
season or before, I am sold out of nearly everything I offer. Should
supply exceed demand, I will probably develop some kind of web presence.
Gene, I try to stay out of the gardens at this time of year. I've got way
too much else to do just trying to get the next issue of the catalog out
and customer list updated. But I do have a dwarf conifer garden that I've
enjoyed watching for the last 18 years. I planted most of them as babies
the size of my fist and it has been a joy to watch them grow. In the sunny
perennial border, I noticed that up until last week, there were blooms on
Veronica Goodness Grows and Scabiosa Butterfly Blue. Great little troopers!
