Lately, the nights have been surprisingly cool, right around the freezing point. This means I'm still a bit tentative about doing too much gardening. To keep busy, last Friday I drove north to attend the annual Plant Nerd Night. The next day, my sister and I hit the local nurseries. I got lots of inspiration while at
Bauman Farms in Gervais.
