I love Lowe's almost as much as I love plants.
Lowe's is great for most all things.
But Lowe's also has discounted plants EVERY week.
Some need a little care and others are amazing.
Those that need extra care - have a holding spot at my house where they live till decide how well they are going to adjust.
I have talked to other people that buy those plants and seems like the holding spot is a common practice.
Well it has been a good year for my special purchases from Lowe's.
I purchased some awesome shrubs for approx 25% of the normal price and they were so great.
Have fixed up some sightly areas, now they look great.
Also, bulbs - they always put what bulbs they have left on sale - and keep marking them down till they're gone.
If you're not in a terrible hurry and you don't follow that making a chart etc., you can end up with 10 times and many plants, bulb, planters etc.
Of course you need room for all of that.
I have a wire fence between my place and the neighbor.
Have been planting various things to disguise it over the years. It is great now. Just a bare spot or two - which I will divide some grasses and fill it in.
It is quite a beautiful site now - of course many years later - but enjoyed every minute of it.
