Your attitude sounds like the perfect fit for helping people who love to garden find the best plants and materials to plant them. I would have to make a rule for myself about the amount of money allowed for plant purchases, even with employee discounts. Or are you like the bumper sticker, 'Will Work For Plants' ?<BR/><Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991056909531844827.post-69281877059183825542008-04-24T13:07:00.000-07:002008-04-24T13:07:00.000-07:00Well, what a wonderful job!

You must be enjoying yourself, who wouldn't, even with the rack full of gallon containers of lavender having a go at you :-( I would love to do the same, but every day at a nursery would be just way too tempting for my wallet.
