It's always tricky when my plants get set for shipping in mid April. Once again we will be traveling (out to California), likely from April 9 to the 16th. Plant orders are scheduled to ship then.
But both Whiteflower Farm and High Country Gardens have shipped my orders this week! Whiteflower sent the Blushing Pink rose and hellebore (but still awaiting the gomphrena and a petunia) and HCG sent the two armerias, four blue flax and two Palmer penstemons.
It's still only mid March and nights have been below freezing. Yikes. The weather here for the coming week is milder, and above freezing at night, so it should be okay for a while.
But this is way early. I'll need to hold the seedling pots for two months until planting time in mid May. And I'll need to find a way to keep the pots watered when we go away in mid April for a week.
I don't know why they are shipping a month early.
