Ummmm....we came home with a full truck load! Had a great day. I drove over to pick up sylguy, whom I had invited to go shopping for begonias she was looking for. After a quick tour of her gorgeous garden, we headed to Seguin. Greengate Nursery has a little bit of everything. They also had lots of bedding plants on sale. We headed to the greenhouse....which turned into a hothouse after 20 minutes. (Note to self...leave earlier to shop in summer). We had so many plants that we filled a huge cart just from the greenhouse. All my good intentions of not buying anymore stuff this summer went right out the door. I was in the company of an enabler! We bought a lot of the same plants.
Then we started looking at the bedding plants outside, and a helper had to take those selections into the building. We paid for our plants and left them there while we went for lunch. Back again to have everything loaded into the truck, check the map, and we were off on the back roads to Martindale to visit C&J's nursery. It was pretty bare, and a little disappointing. I did find a 20 lb. sack of hibiscus fertilizer tho. Back in the truck and on to Maxwell to visit Elllie's nursery. She usually has lots of bedding plants and hanging baskets. Her stock was fairly low in the "color" dept. I'm glad we hit Greengate first.
We left at 10 and were back to Austin at 4. Not a bad day. I'm going to be outside planting today. It's my watering day too. We were supposed to go to the lake, but I have my priorities! We're retired...we can go during the week.
Tried to get plants "hidden" before husband knew I was home. Not all that successful. He spotted me from upstairs window, and ran down to "help" me. Uh huh.... My only defense was....."she bought more than I did!"
