LONDON GROVE: Plants and the early birds who love them

We almost missed the London Grove Friends Plant Sale this year!
No, I don't mean we forgot about it. But by the time we got there, a little after 9 a.m., most of the customers had already shopped and hauled away their purchases. Though the sale doesn't officially start until 7 a.m., I'm told people started showing up an hour before that and were ready to check before the sale even started!
Not that it really matters: there were still lots of Rocket Snapdragons available in the Annuals tent, so I was happy. And it's quite possible that pink geraniums will be a nice change from my traditional red ones in the windowboxes.
Way more importantly, it was great to see so many people, either as volunteers or customers. The Plant Sale is always a great community event.
(And we were enchanted by the kindergartners' drawings. They had been asked to think up "Dr. Seussisms" and then illustrate them. My favorite was a wonderfully creative "dinkbug on a stinkbug.")
