Re: [SG] slightly obscure plants

Now, now, Kay. Don't berate me for being hesitant. I have nothing against
Plants Delight. In shopping for plants, in person or via mail, I check a few
vendors before making a purchase. I look for the condition of a plant and
the price. If Plants Delight has the best price and offers good stock, I'll
order from them.

I began extending the main part-shade perennial border early this morning.
The work (a pleasant task, not a chore) is nearly done. The sky is now
clouding up, the rain that's forecast is welcome. I came in to check email
as an excuse to rest. Now it's time to finish the plantings before the rain
comes.
