And actually I planted my wildly successful Tetrapanax last fall. So I guess I've had positive results too and I should just get on board with the fall planting thing.<br /><br />ricki, thanks for the insider info, you have me re-evaluating my weekend!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-26864595734796930452009-09-16T13:17:08.314-07:002009-09-16T13:17:08.314-07:00Note to Megan: as a sporadic HPSO volunteer, I can...Note to Megan: as a sporadic HPSO volunteer, I can tell you that the vendors restock for Sunday, so the choices should be just as good.ricki - sprig to twighttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-40395014376040664082009-09-16T06:44:11.570-07:002009-09-16T06:44:11.570-07:00You're thinking first thing Saturday morning? ...You're thinking first thing Saturday morning? I think I'm trying to hide from the crowds and wait til Sunday. Hopefully the good stuff isn't all gone by then.<br />I try not to plant anything borderline in fall, but if I do I know I'm gambling. I had some success last year mulching well. On everything reliably hardy, I've had better success in the fall than I have in Spring, probably because I don't sustain regular summer watering. So I'd vote yes for fall planting. I think our climate is mild enough it's usually a safe bet.Meganhttp://www.nestmaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-13403330889570056662009-09-15T09:57:38.956-07:002009-09-15T09:57:38.956-07:00Jane, but at least I would be able to recognize yo...Jane, but at least I would be able to recognize you now if we did! Even in last springs crowds I managed to see a few people I knew. Happy Shopping!<br /><br />ricki, I am with you...I didn't buy much last year but I lost what I did. My strategy is to only buy reliably hardy offerings. Ya...who am I kidding? Ok...my strategy is to have plenty of winter protection materials at the ready this year.

I think I will just have pots at the ready and a sheltered overwintering space...then plant in early spring. What's your strategy?ricki - sprig to twighttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-43745043978373225442009-09-14T16:34:46.958-07:002009-09-14T16:34:46.958-07:00Well, I don't want to stand in line either, bu...Well, I don't want to stand in line either, but I AM a fan of fall planting, so if I must stand in line, I will. <br />Maybe we'll end up right next to each other, although from the crowds you described at the spring sale, we'll never know it!MulchMaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848950758103138175noreply@blogger.com
