Our house in Austin needs landscaping, paint, carpeting...we need a car, so we'll be making at least one dealership happy. On the other hand, because of the uncertainty of things, we are going to make do with one car for the time being and use our son's car since he is currently overseas. I will be driving a college kid's clunker! But I don't care...<BR/><BR/>I gave all of my plants on my balcony away today to a friend's helper. They have a rooftop garden and she was so excited! My balcony looks awfully bare right now though :(<BR/><BR/>I know I will badly want to run out and buy plants for my deck in Austin right away but I will be hesitant to spend very much at first, since we don't know if we will stay there. <BR/><BR/>Yes things are bad all over. Many restaurants and businesses are closing in Hong Kong as well. And I feel the same as you all - the bargains are incredible and at the same time I feel so bad for the shop owners that are losing their dreams.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, LynnLynn Nillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889149260448218282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-91269513408701302312009-02-04T09:58:00.000-06:002009-02-04T09:58:00.000-06:00Yes, this is not a good time for our country's eco...Yes, this is not a good time for our country's economy...and of the world, for the most part.

The local nurseries are alive with so much new plant material. It is really too early to be planting but people don't like seeing all the unsightly browning (we are just not used to it)so the nursuries are hopping with business, too. I made a nice sized purchase last week at my favorite local nursery... I happen to spend quite a bit of time there... more often than I should really... but what gardener doesn't? Anyway, I got to talking to the owner about the very thing you bring up in this post. He assured me they had a good year last year and are doing fine this year. I was happy to hear it. His philosophy is that folks are staying home more and willing to spend $$$ to fix up their own landscapes more. I don't know how scientific his theory is but I wished him the best as things get even tougher. <BR/><BR/>I cannot wait to see how all your new plants fit right in to your wonderful space. Pretty soon it won't be fair to call it the GOBN... it's going to need a new name. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.hoeandshovel.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Meems @ Hoe and Shovel</A>Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-66192076911429014432009-02-03T06:46:00.000-06:002009-02-03T06:46:00.000-06:00P.S.

I get almost all my plants "over the garden fence," or start them from seed, instead of buying them from nurseries, as nurseries are often too pricey for me, even in good economic times. The glaring exception is shrubs, which I've grown to love in the last several years, which I gladly buy from locally-owned nurseries, looking around for the best deals and/or varieties. :)Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-47646614450562423582009-02-03T06:43:00.000-06:002009-02-03T06:43:00.000-06:00It's rough out there for lots of people these days...It's rough out there for lots of people these days, unfortunately.

Better all around to support the local merchants. You not only save money on plant material but on gas. I've recently learned that a bbs near me has stopped handling material. Strange, not only does it inconvenience patrons but cost the jobs of the people in that dept. I for one have tightened my belt quite a bit.
