I was able to hit walmart last night where a clerk was marking down flowers and I picked up a couple of flats. Anything to save a little money.
The garden is taking off well.
Hubs planted the marigolds yesterday to repel bugs. I am jealous as I spent all day in the shop and will be in there for several hours today.
To say the shop is busy is an understatement. But I am just plugging along. I had two wedding dresses picked up yesterday and another two will come in today.The little person I sew for was in and his suit is cut and ready to do the hand work, so I will finish that today, along with a couple of other dresses and I want to finish up a wedding dress. I need to get them out of the shop as it is not as large as my old place and it is getting hard to move in there. I already had 3 bridesmaid dresses in this morning.
Daughter and son in law took the boat out and we have Kelsa and the dogs. Kelsa loves her walker and graham crackers and the dogs sit around and clean up everything she drops. Hubs has developed the cold that the kids have and I am still hoping I don't get it. HE was up last night and is miserable today. I gave him DayQuil so he can function. But he is back and forth to the high school today with different events at both the old and the new school. I feel bad for him.
I made fried cabbage and sausage for dinner last night right before Hubs had to leave for work and then had two wedding dresses show up so I ate cold fried cabbage. Not my favorite. We are having burgers and salad for dinner.
The sales came out today and there is not a darn thing I want to buy. I will have to do a stock up on veggies but that is it. SO hoping I can get out and get some planting done tonight.
I noticed at home depot that the miracle grow garden soil was back up to $4.67 a bag and I am so happy I bought it when it was 5/10. Kelsa is such a happy baby when she isn't sick, but she still has a snotty nose that she does not want touched. Strong as an ox when you go to wipe that nose.
I have so much I want to do outside and I did count the flowers boxes and I have 32. Okay a little excessive, but not nearly as many as I had at the old place.
Well Kelsa is cranking up and Hubs just left for the high school so I am going to play grandma for a while and enjoy every minute of it.
Have you noticed prices of nursery plants going way up this year?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

That's a lot of flower boxes. I haven't even looked at flowers yet - still too cold at night. Maybe next week.
ReplyDeleteDon't over do it!
Oh Cheryl there is so much to do, but I must concentrate on the shop and what has to go out daily. Trying to get out in the sun a little every day I need to make that a priority.
DeleteHi Kim
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of flower boxes but I bet it's going to look beautiful!! and YES! The price of flowers has gone way up.. I usually buy some but this year I bought none except marigolds to companion plant with my tomatoes to try and ward off pests.. Other than that nothing. I did however, out fake flowers in my flowers boxes that are on my front railing LOL They actually look nice and so far have held up well with the heat and the humidity
It is scary that we will have to pay so much for veggie starts. I do well with corn and beans but struggle with other starts.
DeleteHello Kim - I am playing Catch up again on your posts. I just love that photo of you & your sisters a couple of posts back. You all look so YOUNG!!!! I am envious. Your flower boxes will be beautiful - I wish I was there as I just love planting things - its one of my favourite things - the weeding ... not so much 😉
ReplyDeleteI love planting also and playing in the dirt, but I am afraid that it is still crunch time in the shop so no fun for me.
DeleteHehehe....now I am one of your sisters! Does mean I can harass you like Sissie?! I hope so....
ReplyDeleteYes but expect it right back.
DeleteAll the plants I've purchased have been the same price as 2020. Fred Meyer had flats of marigolds and petunias for $12.99 last week. These generally have 48-50 plants.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for Double Impatiens for my northside planters. They hadn't arrived yet last Thursday.
Well I am jealous. I am thinking we are going to have to go out of town to get some of our plants it is so bad here.
Delete32 planters I a lot of planters! Since I do not like gardening I can't imagine ever having that many!
ReplyDeletePlants have gone up here along with everything else!
Loved the picture of your sisters!
Well it is nice to have sisters they are the best as you know. I love flowers and dirt. Purposely dressed in light cream today to avoid going out and digging.
DeletePlants are up here and a couple of days ago I went to Home Depot and didn’t realize the dirt sale was done! Darn it! I didn’t pay that price now but still looking. I fell and broke my wrist in both bones Friday!! So much pain and now can’t do anything!! I don’t have time for this. Ugh!! ( you don’t know what you have till it’s gone). Ha!
ReplyDeleteThat's my plan tonight-off to get some flowers and get the flower boxes and hanging planter. DH felt strong today and is doing yard work, and now I want color.
