This Saturday will be an especially busy weekend. First Marty will be holding down the fort at the Pearl Farmer’s Market Saturday morning. Please be kind and gentle with him – he is NOT a gardener. He will have some bare root daylilies, some bulbine (see yesterday’s blog), some neat little sunflowers, some sedums, and a few other things. All in all it will be pretty simple for him. The sunflowers that he will have are shorties. The first one Sunbright Kids – only gets to be about 8″ tall, and the second one Sundance Kids gets between 15 – 17″ tall. Both are great for containers and for the front of the garden.
The reason Marty is taking over for me at the Pearl Farmer’s Market is because at 10:30 I will be giving the daylily seminar (featured plant this year) at the 2009 Festival of Flowers. I will then be at
the Festival of Flowers until 5 pm, answering questions and selling plants. I will be taking mainly bearded iris to the Festival of Flowers. Since the Festival of Flwoers is one of the main fundraisers for our San Antonio Daylily Society, I will not bring any competing daylilies in. So I hope to see you at one or both of the events this Saturday.
