Behnke’s is a money sucking pit

Behnke Nureries is second only to Whole Foods in magically making my money disappear from my wallet. I went in the other day to grab one plant and left with eight. I’ve at least learned to buy perennials, well mostly anyway. I buy plants the same way I buy wine–the cuteness of the label.  Anyway, what I really like about Behnke’s is that they aren’t pretentious. They’re in Beltsville so pretension isn’t really an option. Even so, the staff is always nice and they don’t laugh at me. At least not to my face. And they always have sales.
