Swiped from Debra, She Who Seeks, to remind us all
Thank you, Debra and if I knew the creator, I'd credit them.
Today is about returning an item via UPS, and, while I'm out anyway, going to the dollar store and seeing about some seeds for this year's flower containers.
So here's the display, smaller this year, no cosmos, no marigolds, but we'll survive.
The price is up from four packets for a dollar to a dizzy four for $1.25. So this year's garden, seeds, potting soil etc still totals a modest $25 or so. I can do this.
My chives finally gave out last year after many years, so I'll try a new start. I may need to get marigolds from the local farm stand.
If I fill and place the containers ahead, I think I'll be able to get the planting and squirrel proofing done early May. Anyway that's the plan.
I would like a flower garden again this year. I have plans about walking, then sitting on the deck admiring my surroundings! Great ambitions.
Happy day everyone, always have plans of some sort, dream big. Sez the lady with three dollars in flower seeds..
I will always support our trans family! I look forward to enjoying your herbs and flowers this year.
ReplyDeleteYes, no surprise there, M, of course you will. And I'm hopeful about the flowers again this year. Bouquets ahoy!
DeleteEverybody needs some big 3 dollar plans! :) :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is the biggest bang for the buck there is!
DeleteGreat plans for spring, Boud!
ReplyDeleteI need to look forward just now.
DeleteI hope that $3 investment pays off big time in beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteIt's not a big risk! And it worked out the last two years. So we'll see.
DeleteI just got my new t shirt in the mail yesterday - "Everyone is Welcome Here!"
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the flowers!
Great slogan. I like how positive it is, A nice change.
DeleteOne of the things I have loved about my life is that at gatherings I can look around and see every beautiful color of the PRIDE rainbow represented, each as unique and their own person as could possibly be. Just as all humans are.
ReplyDeleteThose seeds will reward you all summer long.
That's a nice gathering, so civilized. I'm hopeful about the seeds.
DeleteI'll bet that will be $3 well spent! I wish we could have flowers on our balcony but the RC wants veggies which I understand. He does allow me one hanging planter of flowers even though I know he'd prefer something a lot more edible.
ReplyDeleteMaybe grow nasturtiums? They're pretty also edible!
DeleteThe chives startled me. We have had the same plant for probably more than 40 years, moved and transplanted twice, and one move was very long distance to a different climate zone. I shall keep my eye on it this year. I wonder if I should try to take a cutting of some such?
ReplyDeleteMine went for a couple of decades with a previous owner then me, and I guess it got tired out. Maybe you could try taking a division this year.
DeleteYou are an excellent planner. And planter! The $3 will bring you priceless joy later in the summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this year's flowers.
DeletePlanning for the future is essential to stop the brain from atrophying. The flowers will be a delight.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to preserve my brain!
DeleteWow! Those seeds are cheap!
ReplyDeleteThis is the third year I've used them. Despite gloomy predictions, the last two years gave great germination. Cheap too! I think the name brands are charging a lot for the name.
DeleteWhat an excellent investment.
ReplyDeleteA really good ROI!
DeleteGood for you! I should buy some zinnia seeds again. I love zinnias.
ReplyDeleteI liked zinnias much more after I started growing them. It was more personal!
DeleteThat’s a great new flag and totally behind it. Love everyone I say, love all our humanity. I long for the day when we won’t have divisions because people are considered different, that we will just be considered one in the human race. Always living in hope, my mantra. My daughter-in-law bought me a container for planting seeds, looking forward to growing some. Happy 1st of April to you Boud.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's a great hope, worth working for. Good luck with your seeds. That's another form of hope.
DeleteI love sprinkling seeds and look forward to the great reveal when they start to bloom
ReplyDeleteIt will be nice for you to sit and rest amongst the flowers. Just like a little fairy 🧚♀️
A sturdy fairy! I do look hopefully forward to sitting admiring flowers.
DeleteI haven't been able to find marigold seeds either. I got some other seeds and will get them going this week.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the marigold supply chain is broken??
ReplyDeleteFlowers always should be a priority.
ReplyDeleteLol. I too bought 4 packages of flower seeds from the same store. Forget me nots for my granddaughters. 2 for me to remember them. 2 for them to remember me.
ReplyDeleteLots of colour in that selection.
ReplyDeleteI hope the future blooms bring as much joy as the seeds do for you. Happy planting!
