My wife has been bugging me to get her garden ready for planting.  Here in Colorado it is safe to plant your Garden on Mother’s Day and we promised we would do this as a family.  My job has been to get the soil tilled and ready for planting the various vegetables.  I woke today thinking I had a couple of hours that was not filled with conference calls that I could get to the local nursery to purchase my materials to prep the plot of dirt in the back yard.  The only problem with that intention was that as I opened the door I had a blast of cold and found that it was snowing.  It snowed most of the day.  Love that Colorado weather.  I missed that opportunity.  I was looking around the web for some information about soil preparation and found myself looking for a landscaping convention.

The Landscape Show is a large show that is scheduled this year in Florida at the Orange County Convention Center on September 25-27, 2008.  The show is very large with 250,000 square feet and 600 exhibiting companies.  Apparently they are capitalizing on the green movement itself:

Looking to make an environmental difference in your part of the world? Plants and trees are the original cleaning agents of the earth – offering oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide; absorbing pollutants, odors and noise; providing homes for wildlife and creating important beauty for quality of life and sense of community. The Landscape Show offers a diverse pallet of plants, products and services that can make a positive impact on your environment.

I think I will try again tomorrow unless we have any blizzard warnings.  Someone forgot to send the memo of global warming to the gardening gods.  In the meantime do the planet a favor and plant something.
