Sometimes I envy folks in warmer zones but at fall sale time, I'm happy to be where I am!

We won't turn the furnace on until sometime in October or November.

There are a very few small hobby greenhouses that grow bedding plants and veggie starts and are only open for a few months. They like to do end of season sales to clear out inventory from this season and make room for all of the holiday stuff. It's easier to sell plants, especially perennials, now than it is to care for them and get them ready for another year on the sales tables. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-88221998553603698202014-09-04T15:55:49.247-07:002014-09-04T15:55:49.247-07:00One of these years I'm going to make it to the...One of these years I'm going to make it to the tough love sale!

Something else to envy about the PNW, although I suppose the nurseries want to clear their shelves before cold weather does that for them. Do your nurseries close during winter? Here in the land of year-round gardening ;) , we seldom see any significant sales - at best, a few pots of expensive plants (like the Itoh peonies) are offered at 30-50% off when they head into dormancy.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-79069273325338384712014-09-04T08:24:49.388-07:002014-09-04T08:24:49.388-07:00Portland Nursery has a sale on annuals and tropica...Portland Nursery has a sale on annuals and tropicals this time of year, there are always a few things I have to have (surprised?).
