The Master Gardeners of North Central Louisiana held their annual Fall Plant Sale recently at the Ruston Farmer's Market. For the sale members potted, rooted, sprouted, started, and divided plants from their own yards to share with others. These sales are a great way to buy some of the more unusual plants not always offered at the "big box stores". Another bonus of a Master Gardener plant sale is that experienced gardeners are on hand to give you planting and care tips about your purchases. The prices were a bonus also!!! They started at $1.00 and the highest priced plants were only $4.00.
The only down side of this year's sale was the weather. Remember those really cold days we had in November? Right, when it got down into the 20s. Well that was the weekend of the plant sale. We all just bundled up like we were in the Iditarod and plunged ahead. However, one of our members proved that you can still look stylish while freezing your bum off!

Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark, swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora.
