I get all kinds of catalogues, emails, whatever-have-yous advertising plants and garden accessories (oooh, sexy!). There are a number of quite expensive and interesting options out there (and fifty times as many cheap and dull ones).
Because we have such a peculiar piece of property, it is a real challenge to grow interesting creatures. I find myself starting many perennials in large pots for a season or two. That seems to help them until they develop a decent enough root system to get anywhere in our dry, clay, thoroughly tree-root-filled woodland.
Even some of the really neat nurseries send mostly bare root product. I have been wanting to try out Heronswood. They have several interesting looking choices and their product seems to frequently ship already in some kind of medium.
As a side note, George Bell who does their blog has my interest piqued over Bailey's book (of course, Amazon doesn't seem to have any so I might actually have to look around for this one).
If you've had a go with them, let me know what you think. Of course, you could always just send me that 2007 collection of hellebores I've been longing for:)Better send along some Soil Moist too!
