Spring 2023

... and there they made for themselves a living place.

POTS - GARDEN POTS - GLAZED POTS
Buying new garden pots with my birthday money.
We went to the import store on the corner of 4th and Montano > Aguirre's Imports  Got a large round, a smaller rectangular with saucer, a chicken, and a turquoise metal flying pig!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then to > Albuquerque Water Gardens & Nursery. 2 white terra cottas, 2 reds in a lovely straight tapered shape.  G wanted something plant-wise.  What was it? Oh, I got the orange Nasturtiums with the variegated leaves.  (How many trips now?)  G - small penstemon with dainty white flowers

Also went to Jackalope.  Their lot is huge, as always.  And intimidating.  Architectural stuff.  Very expensive.  After MUCH debate, bought a large, low stylish green pot for our sitting area.  It's gorgeous. Funny -- Sharon Webb shrieked about the Sprengeri (< Looked it up.  That is the correct spelling).  Apparently in FL they are borderline invasive.

Lowes, of course.  Mangled "Stock" White alyssum.  

Alameda Greenhouse - on Mother's Day. $$ gallon pot of baby's breath. 4 tiny lavender impatiens. 2 fascinating things -- up front.  

Co-op
Something frilly that went in the ground between the raised garlic bed and the NM Holly. Dill?

The grocery store.  lol.  Smiths
The tags on them said $40, sale $34.95.  But then it rang up as $29.99/ 30 bucks.  I need to go back to Lowe's and look again, but I'm pretty sure that was a decent price for 3 gal, thick, high-fire glazed ceramic pots.  Saturday morning, I dashed back and got 2 more, first thing.  What are you going to put in them? Don't know.  But they are nice looking, a good size, and I thought, why don't you get a set of 4 before they are gone.

Where did I get the variegated aptenia?

Seed packages.  And Begonia tubers.
Costco Shame on me, I left the balloon flower bulbs too long and one entire pack rotted to nothing.
Longwood gardens?
