Do you have a favorite type of plant?
“I would have to say my number one is daffodils. I love daffodils because they give a spark of joy when
it’s dreary outside. The next would be primroses. I love all styles of primroses.”
Has the outbreak had any impact on getting stock?
“One of our wholesalers said if we buy right now we can’t return it. So if it was a mis-order, mis-
shipment or the customer refuses it, you can’t return it. Another supplier said they were shorthanded so
we needed to buy things in bulk, in full pallet quantities so they can use a forklift. There’s no more 10 of
this or this or 10 of that. You have to take a full pallet or none at all. We typically order several different
varieties of chicken food and keep the stock fresh by ordering monthly. But if we have to buy 40 bags
each order, it won’t keep it fresh.”
What plants grow well out here?
“Cool-weather plants are what you want to start with this time of the year. There’s a possibility of
freezing weather until May 10. We’re affected by Columbia with cold air coming down the river blowing
off the snow-covered plains inland. It can make us colder, especially at night.”
