I jumped on Wakefield HS’s plant sale right away this year. I waited too long last spring and was out of luck. I sat down beside Chris as I scrolled down the list with excitement.
“Should we get two lantanas or three? Three, I think. They’re so beautiful.”
“Okay. They’re pretty,” he agreed.
“Basil. One or two?” I asked.
“Two, I think,” I replied.
“Okay, two,” he agreed.
I didn’t dominate the order entirely; he picked out the feathery, brightly colored cock’s comb flowers.
The pick-up date isn’t until April 24th, but I am very excited for:
-lantanas and cock’s comb to brighten up the empty corners of the deck
-mint for my mojito
-basil for all manner of summer delights, such as pesto, tomato and fresh mozzarella platters, and homemade pizza
-jalapeños for poppers, tacos, pickling, and pizza
-oregano and thyme for, well, their uses are much valued and varied
I still need to seek out sage and chives, but this is a solid start.
You, too, can place an order! https://www.wosomoso.com/form/formview.cfm?formid=1138
