Wednesday and Thursday nite were spent in Portland. Thursday the largest nursery show in the country in Portland stated. I have always wanted to see it and this was my chance. It was smaller this year than in past years but still large. I meet several interesting people and even saw some Indiana friends by chance. It was also nice to see some of the suppliers that provide plants and other products to us. Some new items will show up in our garden center next year from this time spend here. The area of Oregon and Washington are huge nursery crop suppliers for the entire country. It hard to believe so many plants find homes. At least up to now but with the housing slowdown the market will change dramatically. Some growers will be closing down while others will need to merge. I think less plants will be required for the next several years. Another cycle of surplus and shortage.
