I haven't been out of the house in a really long time. So we drove down the hill, and went to Eisley's Garden Center, only to find out they were bought out from Green Acres. They did a ton of clean up and expansions on the property.
I bought Strawberry mint, Chocolate mint, Lemon Verbina, Oregano Italian to start off my herb garden, 1 yellow squash, 6 lettuce, 6 corn to start off our veggies.
I found a beautiful hanging Fushia, I am going to try to see if it will grow at our house...it may be too hot and I may have to hang it closer to the house under the patio and not have it in the sun on the outside of the patio.
I also found a Yellow Rose, the Julia Child Rose, to be the memorial rose for Crackers. I really wanted a Yellow Rose to remember her little yellow head. This is supposed to be fragrant so I hope it will be.
If it is not fragrant enough I will look for another rose. But it is no where near blooming. It is not just a root ball though.
I also think this will be a beautiful addition to the Orange Rose I have had the last 20 years. That is the Lucy Memorial Rose that I have.
What was hard about today, was I am SO not used to being in traffic around all the people, and being out in stores and such with so many people! I am not used to people anymore and I am still nervous about Covid-19 since I am immune compromised. Still mask up, keep my distance and wash my hands a lot, or use the hand sanitizer. I was like a feral cat avoiding every one!
I will have to say though, it boosted my spirits SO much being around so many plants, life bursting all around me, it was glorious! I do need to find a nice big ceramic pot for the new Rose and some other ceramic pots for other plants at home. We are going to go to another pottery place though, because what I wanted was over $100 and it is too pricy! I want a pretty pot for the rose for sure.
I also found a really cool Frog Buddha and it was reasonable so I got it! It looks awesome!
Today just really lifted my spirits.
