Thankfully, many gentleman farmers have placed land into conservation easement and the minimum land required for subdivision is quite high, not so the closer you drive East toward Washington. Thanks for the tip on the Mabel Gray's - I just love scented geraniums. A second trip is always necessary, possibly a third!holly aka gollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165342819918461245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219078614147060370.post-4527789958708691372012-04-30T21:30:37.491-04:002012-04-30T21:30:37.491-04:00Redbuds and DeBaggio's are two of the many thi...Redbuds and DeBaggio's are two of the many things I miss about spring in Northern VA. It's sad that DeB's has been boxed in by suburban sprawl, when they had mostly open fields around them at first.<br /><br />p.s. Their "Mabel Gray" scented geraniums are heavenly!luannehttp://www.invisiblewoman.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219078614147060370.post-84516789445798590402012-04-28T13:57:06.609-04:002012-04-28T13:57:06.609-04:00Sarah: Debaggio's is exactly the same and a tr...Sarah: Debaggio's is exactly the same and a truly wonderful nursery to support! Sadly, urban housing has sprung up all around what was probably farm land a short time ago. Nonetheless, their offerings are superb and they remain a best kept secret for those in the know.holly aka gollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165342819918461245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219078614147060370.post-70520867071559495462012-04-28T11:55:34.202-04:002012-04-28T11:55:34.202-04:00oh, that takes me back!

I'm glad to know of other customers!Sarahhttp://becoming-gezellig.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219078614147060370.post-33332154869734461612012-04-28T10:21:19.176-04:002012-04-28T10:21:19.176-04:00Kathleen: Our yard has dappled light and the worst...Kathleen: Our yard has dappled light and the worst soil ever! Maybe try a different spot? I don't remember the type of redbud this is, but the leaves stay red until summertime and then they turn green.holly aka gollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165342819918461245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5219078614147060370.post-32398518590418977772012-04-28T10:16:42.147-04:002012-04-28T10:16:42.147-04:00I tried to grow a redbud in our yard a few years a...I tried to grow a redbud in our yard a few years ago but it wasn't happy (not enough sunlight). I wanted it specifically for those heart-shaped leaves! I would love to garden this weekend but it is 0 degrees right now. Where is spring? Not here. :)Kathleen Maunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827170549189936589noreply@blogger.com
