I love a good deal! I went to Lowes the other day and had to check the discounted plants. I picked out 4 Geranium plants to put in my hanging pots in the back yard. I get to the checkout and the lady says my total is $.22. What?! I told her I would be back. I had to get more! There was a lot of plants marked down because they were hit by frost or they were just not blooming anymore. I was so excited! The adrenaline was pumping and more and more people were around me shopping for the best looking plants. The word was out that each plant was $.05. What a steal! There was a lady who filled her whole cart and it totaled just over $3.00. Mine came to $1.04. I could have bought more but all I could think about was where are these going to go?
I have a pretty flower bed in front already with boxwood, Mexican Heather, Daffodils (which have not bloomed yet), a few struggling Geraniums and Mums that have come back and taken over. I have rings around my small Oak trees that have mums and some other flower I can't remember right now. I also have a strip of dirt running along the back of the house which has Agapanthus and Daylily's which I planted as bulbs 2 years ago. They are finally getting leaves and I hope to get some flowers this year. My finds were 2 Hydrangea's, 6 Geraniums, 3/6 packs of Marigolds, 3 daisy bushes, and a few other plants that I know will grow well. I planted the Marigolds and a few others but I really need to find some other dirt to plant in. I have plenty of space I just need to dig up the lawn which sure takes a lot of energy to do. I am hoping that Dan will help me next week when he is on vacation:). Dan takes pride in the lawn and I take pride in the beautiful flowers. Oh ya and the vegetable garden still needs to get planted real soon. Maybe next week?
