 I’m happy to report that I exercised a lot of self-discipline last weekend - although in saying that, I could flip the whole story and say I’m disappointed in myself for not walking away from the Plant Lovers Fair with a van load of plants! But then I can justify it by saying that I had my friend Jimmy’s lounge in the back of my van because I’m helping him move, which prevented me from gathering buggy load after buggy load of plants and loading up big time…Suffice to say, the Plant Lovers Fair last weekend was two days of plant frothing and talking about what we all love. | | | |
