Buy, Buy, Buy the native plants

Today we drove to the Wheaton Native Plant sale...arrived at 9:20, after an 8:30 open time and lots were already gone :(

Next year, get there earlier.

Still was able to buy:
-prairie dropseed grass (to plant the 4 around the parkway oak)
-various types of black-eyed susans
-and a plant that Linda P. told me about...Salmon Seal

Will need to plant when the ran stops and it's not so wet out...

Celebrating Earth Day

My office building promoted Earth Day in the lobby with a display on saving energy and they gave out packets of wild flowers. At prechool, Lauren made a small planting pot and today we planted the seeds in the pot... picture was taken a week later when the 1st sprout was spotted...spring is about to really spring...yahooooooooooo
