On Saturday,
The Creative Flux, My Pirate, and I followed
The Outlaw,
Danger, and
a Bonny Lassie on a breakneck plant nerd thrill ride on
the Kitsap Peninsula Nursery Romp. After
years, of vicariously pressing my nose against the computer screen following
other garden bloggers' adventures, I was out on the horticulture prowl with My
Pirate. (And he wasn't even demanding any rum afterwards!) With our detailed itinerary in hand from The Outlaw and our Google maps app telling us where to go, we were off and running.
We warmed up at
Valley Nursery. It was a great nursery with a friendly and knowledgeable staff.
And I saw My Pirate plant shop for the very first time! He was seriously looking for plants for The Death Bed. And as he checked out, he teased Danger for not planting in threes, so she grabbed a third James Stirling Hebe. My Pirate can be such a brat!

I admired The Outlaw's new agave that he purchased at 50% off. Isn't it gorgeous?
The Creative Flux fell for a new plant, but she let it go. Only to regret it later.

And somehow, someway, she got compost in her pants. It was a good
thing that we stopped to work out the kinks before we got serious at Heronswood.
