Farewell, Garden Week!™
Yikes, that yarrow on the bottom left is looking more than a bit sad. I’m happy to report that he’s perked up a bit since Thursday morning, however.
If he doesn’t continue to perk up, there’s always Home Depot’s exchange policy.
I’m pulling for him, though.
As for the mums, I’m surprised at myself.
They’re my favorite part.
Or maybe that’s my favorite part.
Seeing them learn new chores makes me happy.
And Garden Week!™ rolls on!
Yesterday was Flower Buying Day. We started our hunt at Home Depot’s clearance racks before moving onto the main nursery section. I’m nothing if not cheap budget-minded.
I think we did well.
Yarrow! (I’ve heard of it, but never used it before.)
Trailing Petunias!
Mums! I’ve never been much of a fan, but they’re so cheery, aren’t they?
Blanket Flowers (Gaillardia). I’ve never heard of this one. It’s full and pretty.
Dahlias! These are gor. geous. Absolutely brilliant.
Soil!
Oh, how my farming ancestors would have laughed at me, buying dirt from a store. What a different world we live in.
Tomorrow on Garden Week!™ — the finished product.
In THIS Life
