On The Road To Fedco

Welcome to Fedco!
Tom says it all!  A beautiful day to pick up a couple trees and planting amendments.  This is quite the happening place.  We were here last year on a Saturday, and while busy, nothing matches the crush of this year's Friday crowd.
The doors opened at 9 a.m.  We pulled in at 9:30 , after a 2 + hour drive to get here.   The parking lot was nearly full already!

I would put pictures of the how busy it was, but it was so crowded I have serious close ups of people.... trying to manage my phone with a box full of trees  - as the pictures attest, not easy.

Chosen trees, making like wallflowers, boxed up in their sawdust blankets waiting patiently.

The forest through my trees - as I wait in line for wrapping and check out.

All tallied. Next is the wrapping. Now if that isn't some serious plastic.
While H. took my place in line, I wandered over into the Herbs and Bulbs (also asparagus and strawberries area).  I picked up some more herbs for the Keyhole Garden and guilds,  as well as a couple of pretty perennial bulbs. 
As we went outside, these flowers were growing along the edge 9 the parking lot.  They looked like little dandelions perched atop purple asparagus.   I don't know what they are , but I scooped one up for the ride home to investigate it further.  Any guesses?

    I am T-  the other half -of the dream-wrangler team, in the Orchard adventure.  
    Mother to 3 amazing adult sons, and grandmother to the biggest rays of sunshine in our lives. Our oldest grand-daughter, we used to call "Little A", but now she is medium to tall-sized.  She is "Miss A" now. The last couple of  years she has greeted a brother, "Little R" , and this past fall, "Little Miss I" and another mister, who will be known as "Little K", arriving any day now!

    Then there's H.- I'll let him elaborate at some point,  but in my opinion, he's the best seaweed wrangler west of the Atlantic. He remains our artist. in residence, and contines to astound T with his penchant for unusual garden-type installations.  He lives to dance a jig with his grand kids, and teach them all about gardens, growing and such.
