Hello, True it can be disappointing but it always puts me in a spring mood,buy some plants to start containers,love to talk to ladies at table to find out when there are some garden tours on LI ... they are always very friendly ( just have a smile and start talking but then I am a chatterbox ), get ideas for my garden sometimes,just being with other garden people makes me HAPPY!!! Am going to Hicks Wed with a friend and buy some pansies. Has anyone gone there this spring?
