We were at the Garden Center on July 28th. I was looking for pots to place on the deck out back. I found a couple of geraniums but no additional pots. Still, it was fun to look around.
They always have two old trucks on display, always in different spots each growing season.
You would think with their great display of planters...
that I would be able to find something to take home. I noticed all those lovely bird baths of course...
but as for the planters, couldn't find one that said 'take me home!'
It didn't stop me from having fun looking and I had a great time doing that.
I did purchase a couple of pots of red geraniums to go on the deck out back. I still have some work to do out there, but between the rain and the heat, I am a little behind on things.
I nearly bought a pot of hot peppers because they looked so pretty, and then I read the label. The name and the flames put me off. Chef Jeff sounds really friendly but the name, Pepper Rattlesnake Hatch, and the label saying “hot” with flames on top, I changed my mind faster than a flea could jump.
I had one issue with my eyes a few years ago when I was handling ones we bought, thinking they were mild. I was in the hurt locker with my eyes for hours. Never forgot and won’t go down that road again. I would need a hazmat suit!
So, no hot peppers but am loving my much safer geraniums. Anyone got any tips for care? Firsthand experience is much better than any other, and I would be grateful
All for now. There will be another post about the garden center sometime.
As always, thanks for stopping by
and enjoy your day.
I love seeing your garden center! I think once I even asked you to post it! I love the trucks and the beautiful Crepe Myrtle. What an awful name for a hot pepper!! So many pots! But if you're like me, you had a specific color, size, and shape in mind.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a good thing you didn’t get those hot peppers... I steer clear of them too.
ReplyDeleteThose old trucks look great—it’s quite the garden center setup. I used to enjoy browsing there too, but the one near us closed down, and the other one isn't exactly great—it sells more tools than plants.
Your pot of geraniums looks lovely.
Happy day , hugs Elke
I love how they display the old trucks.
