Akron Garden Show

Spring can’t be that far off. The Akron and Columbus garden shows are this weekend. The Akron show is the perfect size. It is large enough to make the trip, but not so large as to wear you out.  As has been the case every year since we started going to the Akron show, it snowed.  Maybe it’s Mother Nature’s way of telling our day lilies and irises not so fast.  The display gardens are always fun to look at and the show always has something special. This year it was a duct tape house building competition among middle and high schools in Summit County.   These kids put a lot of work into their projects.   The Duct Tape Guys were the main seminar. They had a combination comedy routine and seminar about, guess what?  Duct tape.  Boy it was a hoot.  When each of our girls left the house, I threw a role of duct tape in their car emergency kits. 

Hosta and daffodils, hosta and tulips. If I could only get them to grow together, I'd know that I finally made it as a gardener.

 I voted for the house with the flowers as the best in show. I hope it wins.

 Check out the interior. Now that is cool.

We already have one potting bench, but this one is calling my name. Now, all I have to do is get the stars , moon  and the planets all in alinment and then convince Pat. Maybe we can give up buying pots or more lawn ornamentation.

 I am shameless,just like these guys.

Tommorrow, we are off to Columbus and more garden show.
