Kristin mentioned that we would soon see the spring blooms from Arlington on a post response a couple of weeks ago. Kathy and I have been working more in the garden beds and woodlands this spring than anytime in the last three years. We have picked up tons of leaves in the front and moved them to the back to be mulched for ground cover. I have been moving some shrubs and trees to more desirable locations. All the while I have snapped a few shots. These are on my PicasaWeb Album "Early Spring Blooms" which can be accessed on the left of the blog. We found a new nursey that is a gardner's dream, Herman's in east Fort Worth. You drive down into the Hood and then find a dirt driveway with no signage. This place is run by a Sister and Brother team about 40. Every piece of wood and every black bucket that ever came in here is stacked in mountains 30' tall. Think Sanford and Son but much more skanky. There are 30 hoop greenhouses, 20 of which are derilict. But oh, the 10 remaining are filled with beautiful and desirable perennials for crazy low prices. 3 gallon shrubs for $7.50. 2 gallon perennials for $1.85. 4" annuals for a buck. We love Hermans and are going back as soon as I can get the first truckload in the ground.
