Yesterday was a light day in terms of mail and I was able to finish up early, so opted to run some errands versus heading straight home. The timing was prefect - well after lunch and before the knuckleheads got out of work, so traffic was not too bad and less POS to deal with! For example, I was the only person browsing and shopping at the nursery, perfect 👌
Although, my farmer friend had given me oodles of plants when I visited with him a couple weeks ago, I was "jonesing" for more. So, I headed to my favorite local nursery, The Pumpkin Seed in Bellingham!
I picked up another 4-pack of peppers, as well as a variety of annual flowers to fill a couple other planters I have, pics to soon follow.
One of the planter plantings I look forward to doing every year in the concrete planter pictured below. This was my mothers planter that I relocated here to my homestead many years ago. I always hose it down and wash it, then put undercover from the elements for the fall. Come spring planting time, I pull this gem out, add fresh compost and plant a nice vibrant and beautiful annual in it!
I'll water it daily and tend to it with care, as it always reminds me of my mom and brings a smile to my face regardless of the day I had or the mood I'm in.
I changed into my yard cloths and spent a couple hours out in the yard, decompressing, and planting what I bought -

The petunias really does the best in this planter and look the best too!
