San Diego Geranium Society Plant Sale

Posted on 10:56 AM by hill wilf


                                                                 I love a Plant sale!



Wow, I woke up bright and early on Saturday and thought I am going to check my tires and take a trip to Balboa Park for the San Diego Geranium Society Plant sale. The plant sale was supposed to start at ten but there were already people buying plants so I rushed over and started looking at the table of geraniums. Years ago I had a planter full of orange geraniums in my front yard.  I hated them and ripped them out.Well I guess my taste has changed with water prices and I love geraniums. There are so many varieties.and they're easy to grow. Since I  have made my chicken coop into a potting seed starting shed I want to propagate some geranium cutting.
I always need to add flowers to my garden so I decided to join the San Diego Geranium Society that meets once a month in Balboa Park. It is the largest independent geranium club in the nation.It should be fun and you get a plant at every meeting!Wow you can't beat that.In no time I will have lots of varieties in my garden plus learn something new. I think geraniums are such sweet plants and they are pretty hardy flowers so maybe I will have some luck with them.Remember how they made fun of Prince Charles for talking to plants.  Well I think I am one step from joining that club.
When I signed up the woman that was signing up new members commented  that my name sounded familiar. Well she remembered me we use to garden together at the Whaley House in Old Town in the 70's. Betty Newton a popular garden teacher had  a string of us students that would volunteer with her in tending the Rose and herb garden. It was so much fun talking to the visitors and tending to the Whaley garden back then.
