Greenhouse
A delve into the archives this morning is worth a visit. This shot was taken this past May on a short trip to one of three local nurseries we like to frequent for seedlings and plants for the yard. Why three? They each seem to specialize in some aspect of gardening that works for us. This particular one really does a nice job with their hanging baskets. They are usually creatively, colorful and full bodied. We have two basket areas, one off to the side of the garage garage and one on the back deck. They also seem to quite affordable, price wise too. I really must say that our flower gardens are quite beautiful this time of year. Elenka does such a fine job keeping up with them.
Oh, that reminds me. Gotta go water the plants! We've got one of them wicked-hot stretches percolating this week. Close to 90 all week.
"Water, water us!"
90 degrees? How awful! How will you ever survive? Better water those hanging baskets? Drink lots of water! Stay in where it's cool! Above all, don't play golf!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is the time to cool off in Florida!
really pretty. i'd be wasting my money. we're pretty wicked hot all summer long. :)
ReplyDeleteBirdman is up and watering while I'm still getting my beauty sleep. Good man.
ReplyDeleteI love roaming around garden shops and taking photos. I rarely buy anything because I'm simply deadly when it comes to plants. They take one look at me and keel over.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice cool-looking pic for a hot day!
ReplyDeleteI've just watered my plants, after having had to remove yet another pigeon nest...
ReplyDeleteThis is a familiar place. In May, after I get back from Florida, the first week is spent racing around sizing up the hanging baskets and annuals. (Mainly coleus and begonias and vinca and impatiens.)
ReplyDeleteThose are some nice hanging baskets.
ReplyDeleteIt's a steamy jungle in our yard. We're about to be overtaken by ferns.
ReplyDeleteIf I walked in there the plants would scream in horror.
ReplyDeleteWe have to go to at least two nurseries for similar reasons. I like going. Sweetie leaves me alone so I take my camera and do my thing.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful greenery with lovely flowers! nice post.
ReplyDeleteMy hanging plants are so much smaller; I suppose one of those large ones wouldn't rob the bank. Lovely.
