I've given May a fair shake at this "May flowers" racket (being the last weekend of the month and all), and just
who brought the May flowers this year, hmmm? We can thank our local store with in house garden center, or rather the stuffy green house the store got them from.
I started things from seed packets this year, I over-wintered my geraniums from last summer, I even took cuttings, and in the end I had to cheat anyway. Good thing I'm not trying to champion a great moral lesson here.
Does the end justify the means? I dare say in this case,
YES!
