Plant Shopping! New Spring Plants and Pottery

okay wasn't going to film I just stopped in here with Bae real quick but it's the first Nursery of the year I had to give everybody a look there's no not much here yet but they have more than any of the other nurseries and look at this espalier it's a brackens brown espalier I'm thinking about it feel like that price isn't bad dormant Shrubbery I've got a car loaded up with annuals inside that yall will see and they have a smaller one I love a smaller one $2.49 God that's so tempting Sy little darling dwarf I wonder if they have any of the new Bloomerang lilacs those are really cool oh they have the Falling Falling Waters weeping bald Cyprus these are beautiful can you even there you go you can kind of see it Castle Spire Hol and they look good too these have a really great shape to them really great shape to them I think these go like 8 to 12 8 to 10 8 to 10 high yeah they're 5 through seven so it's a really good shape easy to prune on and make them look nice quick standards Limelight standards wonder if they'll do the quick fire fabin a standard got some Red Buds Ba's in the greenhouse right now and I don't know why I said I was going to be out here I don't know what they're doing in there so I should probably wrap it up because they're just hanging out doing absolutely nothing probably wondering what the heck's going on with me out here yeah we'll get back to the house and you'll get to see some fun stuff oh it's nice junipers yeah see they're they're still stocking up only March 2nd still long ways to go look at that shine that's beautiful I'm home it's kind of gloomy out but that's okay there's still some plants to look at part of the the Laura G Dancer Of course in the background watch out kitten kitten you better move you better move you ready to go outside been begging me for a while we had some storms last night supposed to have some really bad storms tonight until tomorrow also did I ever say hello hey what's up Garden friends Jeff here is everybody doing hope you're doing well I'm great I don't why didn't I did I I probably didn't do that at the nursery cuz I was just like pick up the camera and go you going to do it there you go nice big jump this is a big old nothing video if you haven't figured that out by now I'm going to show you some of the new plants do some things I don't know some stuff's going to happen for several minutes and then it's going to be over you love the dedication oh oh pumpkin needs a sanitary trim kitten probably does too what is that what was that what did you just do what is that I don't know I'm going to pretend I didn't see it no can't do that it's just a it's a piece of plastic prepping for spring I'm sure you saw some of the bunnies upstairs in my office and got some other things getting ready to go on here do the Easter Easter is not until really late this year like late April but I'm just going to go ahead and decorate early not now though I actually still have some Christmas stuff out because I'm gutting the basement and I'm trying to rearrange things so I'm not taking stuff down there when there's not room for it yet but almost there got to get get through taxes it's tax season the YouTube taxes are due next week March 15th when is this video coming out probably tomorrow March 15th nobody cares about that and that depends on how you follow your taxes I got some gorgeous T Vera too beautiful T Vera some really nice pieces so yeah I'm going to mic up we can go outside and look at some plants good Lord I was going to do some front facing stuff but look at my allergies my eyes are so look at the kitty over here that bugging you like stop talking to the camera oh and maybe put your microphone on I'm sorry I wasn't even filming any of that I was saying going to put the mic on we'll go outside and look at some plants love the spring hate the allergies turbo say hi hello ready you go outside oh he's so excited I'm so excited too it's so nice outside very dry my eyes are not appreciating the dry there we go that's better kind of my screen dimm down g g ever have those days where it's not sunny out but for some reason the type of lighting is just like burning your eyes out and that's what's going on with me today I don't think it's actually the light I think that I'm turning the camera I've become a baby cuz I've been inside all winter long and the sun just it hurts it hurts too much okay now I'm outside in the public and I don't I don't want to look like a douche walking around filming myself got the hose hooked up that's a big deal hooking this hose up is such a pain and for the first time ever got it hooked up without a leak there's no is it leaking there better not be a leak there's always a drip I use the plumbers tape and everything put a new washer in it worked out great have it all spread out here because it was um kind of kinky so I wanted to pull it out let the sun hit it even though it's not really all that warm thought it would be a good idea to do that things are going well in the greenhouse in here and get this guy popped open have a look at the plants the Cold Frame it's not really a greenhous but it does stay nice and warm starting to see some life on some stuff we have one low coming up not tonight but tomorrow night where they're predicting it's going to be like in the maybe upper 20s I think they said 27 so I need to scoot these things back and make some room for Flats right cuz I have all those annuals out there that'll be showing you in just a minute and that's a little bit too cold for him although that's only a few Flats maybe I'll just take them in the house it' be easier to just pull them in the house I always say because they have flowers on them and they're predicting some extreme wind we'll see what they mean by extreme they like to get very dramatic but the thing is if you don't take it seriously then something happens and if you do take it seriously then nothing happen so it's it's a losing battle with that but because they all have flowers on them maybe I'll just pull them inside and set them on the kitchen table and their pansies not going to be harmful to the cats the alysum lobula I'll Place elsewhere up high so the C cats can't get to them they probably won't mess with them anyways they'll sniff them and stuff but they're not going to not likely to chew on them anyways uh things are going well here in the greenhouse I've started to see some swelling and some budage here on the baby grand Magnolia who had some winter damage but it's okay as long as we keep this trend up and keep that swell going then as soon as these things start to open up can come in here and trim off some of these and it'll flush back out from the inside and I think I have this spot ready where I want this to goow it was supposed to get planted up last year but the spot where it's going to go needs a lot of work so I hadn't gotten to that yet the uh let me see can we see are you guys going to be able to see it I'm going to try and get in there okay yeah you can kind of see it starting to be some swelling here on the stems for these panicle hydranges These are ber white panicle hydranges that I overwintered in here I did a snap test usually you can just use a scratch test but I just cut my nail so I couldn't do a scratch test so I did a snap test and there's still a good amount of green in there this is from a few days ago so I don't know you can't really see the green anymore but a few days ago you could see it I don't mind doing a snap test that happen the St cuz these are all going to be pruned off here in a few weeks anyways only thing that's not looking too hot is the gardinia H it might be dead the whole point was to try it out and see if it was going to do okay with our Winters and I figured it wouldn't it's ready for Zone 7 I'm technically Zone 7 now but I don't buy that 6B I'll go 6B 7 I don't think so but uh yeah there's still some green in here but it's not much it's not much at all I'm doing my best to keep it watered I think that what happened here well I don't think I know what happened here is this got freeze dried so I left it out for too long the coolest temperature I think I let this thing take was like 15 but it is in a container and sometimes the sharp swings can cause problems yeah that's a lot of brown in there I don't know it might be a might be a goner and then the Carrs that are down here the ever Ros ever real evero I don't know I need to do some cutting back on those but they're fine so they're somewhat Evergreen I have one that's outside show that looks a lot better than these so they'll maintain a lot of their green for the winter time but then the closer you get into spring I assume they're kind of like a hooka in this sense or maybe a cast iron plant they start to fizzle out a lot of ferns do this too like the Autumn ferns they start to look kind of scraggly and need to be sheared back and they flush back out I think that's what's going on with these guys right here cuz they still seem okay I think they just need to be cut back and have a good start over they're nice and moist everything in here's been getting water I don't remember that's a rose it's a random Rose I found out in the garden I think it's one of the patio roses I like to have roses out here in containers because they put on a nice show in the springtime they flush out with foliage well before anything else does so I like to have a variety of roses out here to play with in the springtime and I'd like to go smaller ones that can stay containerized oh here comes that wind lots and lots of wind oh I got the fountain up and running too it didn't crack that's great news no cracks in the fountain none that I've noticed anyways oh speaking of fountains it's a place where I got this Tela from it's called Gringo Jones they're here in St Louis if you ever have a chance to go there I highly recommend it they import from all over the place have the best collection of T Vera Pottery I think I've ever seen in my life they also have these beautiful cast aluminum fountains and they're a third off so they're $400 off so 1,200 marked down to $ 800 and then um I would get a wholesale discount which I don't know if I would use that or not cuz that gets complicated with taxes I'm not reselling it although that gets really complicated I'm not going to talk about that right now use that as a business expense I don't really know how I feel about that I feel like they kind of that might be I I like that need to go into all that I I wouldn't use that discount it would only be another like $40 off cuz it's already mark down substantially but that's like 6 and 1/2 7t tall three tiers they also have a four tier one that has a beautiful base that looks like has swans on it I don't have any good pictures to show you but it's beautiful and I'm thinking about getting it to have in place of either this well not of either I would get rid of that Fountain that's not really Fountain that's just a big bowl with one of my favorite pots sitting on the inside and I've been thinking this is turning into a garden tour I should save this for a couple weeks what I'll just repeat it during the garden tour this little space gets gutted every single year can see I still have a few pots to clean up in here and uh it's the tortoise Garden so I have a wall of lava that goes right here and a wall back there and this is where kobby the tortoise hangs out during the summertime Kobe has grown significantly and I'm thinking that I would like to expand the tortoise Gardens instead of the wall for it the back wall being right here maybe bringing that out so that it goes from I guess it have to be right here cuz it can't get in the way of the bar for the hot tub cover so they have to go from right here and make a sharp turn down to that corner so he would have all of this area right here and the Tortoise Garden is also part of the garden so you walk through the garden I have to walk you through it I got to explain they're small garden beds but they're still fun I like to have a mandering garden so over here is the shade garden started this last year got some fun stuff going on have a path that needs to be somewhat excavated that comes down here and I need to come in here and retrench this and do some things do some pruning over here but I would like to make it so there's the path that keeps going this way and then things split off and go up that hill to where the chitalpa some Spa the espalier apples and things go up there onto that hill and then you can come through here if you dare walk through the Minefield of dog poop and come up through this part of the garden and I was thinking it' be really pretty to have a spot love it out here with it's just a big Grand fountain in it I'm also thinking a really big like six and it is it's probably almost as tall as this light post that might look pretty dumb right next to the light post like within eyesight of it I think that'll look weird Okay tucked myself out of it still really into the idea of what I was saying with the fountain but maybe something more Squat and wide would make more sense than the Really T I just I love the cast aluminum it's lightweight and I mean it lasts forever and you don't have to wor about it cracking during the winter time you can keep the water in while winter you shouldn't but you can I mean I could get it and put it somewhere else but if I wanted to found one here why would I spend the money on one to put somewhere else when I didn't even know that I wanted one in a different spot you know what I mean and if you're new here this looks completely different like mid April through November this is just you know I haven't done my spring cleanup yet I have a whole bunch of stuff I need to spread over here and a few pots and things going be picked up there'll be palm trees and annuals and tropicals and things all over the place in a few weeks I would really like to bring out oh this is last Fall's pile stuff I need to take out I'd really like to bring out the Windmill Palm but they're saying you know these strong winds tonight and tomorrow then a low of like 27 which is fine for the windall pal but it's been in the garage the grow space for such a long time I think that I just don't think it would like it I want to take it from being in the stagnant garage there's lots of air flow but in the area where I have the Windmill Palm there's not a lot of air flow uh cuz it's like just inside the door I have most of the fans up closer where the heater is near the bulk of the tropical plants anyways I think it would be rude I don't think it would like coming out here it just got all torn up and everything but I would like to bring that out here and get it tucked back in here hopefully not by this Saturday's video but the Saturday after this is all kind of a Prelude to not this Saturday but next Saturday I already have this Saturday's video filmed I know everything's weird cuz I pre-filmed so I could take time off to work on the taxes and get some stuff done in the basement but that throws off my timeline so everything you're going to see on Saturday is stuff that happened way before this video and then uh I'm going to continue basically right off of this video and move into the Saturday Afters video I know it's weird anyways let's just move on and look at some plants not a ton to see yet because this is the first load of the year at the nursery uh there are lots of nurseries out here they're the first ones I'm wor of that have pansies in a lot of them are starting to get some house plants and things inside they Greenhouse but I wanted pansies I wanted the spring color they're just so happy yeah remember who this is Rose Matrix white botch something hold on where did it go grandio white with rose blotch that's the same of this one and there's a mix I think there's also some Frizzle sizzles in here yeah that's a Frizzle Sizzle right Frizzle Sizzle mix so there are a few of the Frizzle Sizzle mixes here's what the mix looks like you get the orange just that really fun heavily lobed or curly I guess what you say curly petals some of my favorites I love the Frizzle sizzles look at that that's such a beautiful happy flower isn't it I love that so much and there's just I just tried to get a good blend so I have two Flats of those be able to have some fun with all those pansies it's a lot of color oh hi hello what are those noises is the wind freaking you out you're okay you're okay that's just the neighbor be nice to the neighbor and there's that W this is what I say about the greenhouse I don't if there's a point in putting the annuals in there cuz I feel like the green house might blow away tomorrow it seems very probable I have heavy things lined up around the bottom but I mean it's just a giant sail nothing in there is going to be hurt if the greenhouse blows away those are all plants that can handle the upper 20s I don't really even need it at this point but I want it to help progress things along a little bit get them moving a little bit faster the lysm the lobula these I thought they were the crystal mix but they're not actually which is fun they're the Easter Bonnie Violet I think this one's probably Easter B B white yeah and then there's one that's Easter bonnet mix might be this one yeah Easter bonnet mix uh I usually plant the crystal mix that's what's most commonly available with the lobal areas it's what I usually see for sale um or there's also of course ones from Proven Winners like the snow princess and white night violet night fun lobula but I don't usually see The Proven Winners annuals out this time of year and they're so much cheaper to get in these six packs too but just lobular they do not do anything like the Snow Princess or the white knight do there just massive amount of growth but last couple years I planted my uh what is it the White Knight it hasn't really performed for me the way that it used to which could be you know the changing light or something but I don't know I don't know if maybe that plant needs a reset or something I've actually been getting better growth out of just my regular lobal areas not necessarily size-wise like the white Knight's still getting bigger but a little bit ly uh but the fragrance just isn't there like it used to be with the White Knight and the Snow Princess and that happens it's really common like with the knockout roses anything when you hybridize them to grow in flower vigorously you often times lose fragrance like a lot of patunas patunas like the old classic kinds that need a dead heading oh the fragrance on those was just spectacular especially the purple ones almost all purple patunas smell wonderful and even still a lot of the purple ones still smell really nicely at least in the evening time but the the lobular areas that I was getting those ones from Proven Winners the last couple years I couldn't smell anything on them but these right here you smell it we'll sniff it together you smell that oh it's so fresh it's such a sweet fresh scent it makes me so happy so I like to use these as fers and then pansies to go behind them and that's all I have I did grab a few herbs uh there's some thyme here and then I have some peppermint up there I don't know why about the peppermint I have peppermint going inside you don't need much mint you only need one mint plant whether it's a peppermint spearmint you don't need to buy multiples of them that was ridiculous but the ones I have are from seed and they're still a little bit small on that one I'm like well I can pull off that now can dig into it right now and add it to my tee oh and I did grab just one come back here and try and grab it a candy tff one of the snowflakes this a lot of wind starting to butt up getting those fun little white balls on it these you see that it's just the cutest little white flowers these are a great Rock Garden plant and they should be Evergreen too oh yeah it even says Evergreen candy tuff on there they go 8 to 10 in high they bloom March through April I've had these Bloom for me up until early June before just depends on how cool our evenings stay if the evenings stay nice and cool then sometimes they'll keep going but I mean they won't go all summer but sometimes you can squeeze out their Bloom time a little bit longer just another fun PL this is a Peno I probably should have mention that what was it 3 through N9 I think on that one it just says zone three yeah so down to my is 40 that should be plenty cold tolerant for most people like said great in Rock Gardens really just overall really tough plants the flowers in the spring are just really fun and Cherry so I would like to get going with Spring plantings and stuff like that like I said we have one more night it's going be fairly cool and I don't have any centerpieces I only have two things here so I need to get like some spikes or something like that I might do something with the stings maybe I know the stings this what I'm talking about right here these arbs they're in very large containers I don't really think I'm going to do much with those right now probably just throw some sticks or something in the middle of a popet i' rather just wait another week and see what I can find I have some things I need to plant up for some other people so I would like for them to look nice and have various levels of height in them and just some things to carry things through the season so the pansies where I live here in St Louis once it gets really hot during the summer they tend to fizzle out unless you go ahead and move them into a more shady location uh and even then they'll still kind of fizzle out and you just kind of want to just keep them going with the green and sometimes flush back out for you in the fall time uh that takes some dedication I don't ever do that with pansies just because I don't have time there's always so many other things going on by that time of year you know by June mid June usually is when they start to look pretty bad once our nighttime temperatures are starting to be in the 70s and 80s and daytime temperatures are in the '90s they're not usually very happy so I think it would be nice that if these are going some of these are going to go into an arrangement for other people to have the nice filler SLT trailer The Edge plant being the lobula here with a row of pansies behind them and then something tall in the middle that can carry through so like as just a cheap little spike plant you know those will grow all summer long and they can get pretty big you can take them inside and make them to a house plant or maybe a little Quin fraasa something like that just something that's tall that will also carry through and you can pull the pansies out and plant something else around the centerpiece so yeah I don't have any center pieces yet that's why I'm not plan any these up yet hopefully soon should have been given better looks at some of these aren't these beautiful like look at this is one of the reasons I was drawn towards this one the I should have told about this one this is one of my favorite ones this is the Delta classic cotton candy mix they didn't have a lot of these but you can see look at the tag look at it are you observing I know it's so hard to see picture but just look at it that's no that wasn't helpful they have a very sweet flower on them they're not all In Bloom right now I wish they were so I could show you more you can see they start off a lighter color and then the saturation starts to kick in as they age but they aren't heavily saturated it's very light coloring on this and I'm really hoping that we get some of these Blues in here it looks like this one's going to be one of the blue ones that bluish purple color cuz it just looks so nice it's such a sweet flower and I think I only got one of those there's only one of these right Frizzle Sizzle White blotch Rose blotch that's the rose blotch that's a rose BL but it looks like there or no no there's not I could only find one of these so but I wish that I could have found more because I just love I love it I love this pansy so much the Delta classic cotton candy mix is so freaking pretty I know that was loud are you okay you're okay you're a good boy supposed to say are you okay I'm just let him know that everything's okay some strong wind yeah it's okay it's just a little wind you're fine you're fine everything's fine turbo yeah really pretty can't wait to see those Bloom up some more here's that other CarX I was talking about the everillo so this one I moved out a little bit sooner than the others and it's looking pretty good have some stuff need to clean out in it but it remained looking like this pretty much throughout the entire winter now that's undercover right so they were only outside probably until mid January whenever we started to have a lot of snow and ice is when I moved them in and then they stayed in there for the rest of the winter time and they're Hardy all the way to zone five or six I believe do these even have tags on them I don't think they do no they're pretty sturdy and if you do live in a really cold climate then they'll die back and just regrow for you but I want to test these out for their Evergreen qualities because they're sold as Evergreen I'm like I want to see about that this is the best looking one out of the bunch the other is not looking too hot you saw them right this one looks pretty good though I love the flower so much pansies are just one of those flowers where you can't help but feel good and smile when you look at them their flowers are just so stinking cherry and happy look at that one isn't that beautiful just all these right here what a great shot color so nice to have color again finally okay taliva time I have things piled over here I had them sitting on the table but uh with this wind coming and everything sometimes that table tends to blow over during extreme storms so I thought maybe I should put things over here this tall one in the back this isn't mine okay so I have somebody who wants me to put together a spring arrangement for their best friend who loves pansies and we were at the store said well see if we can find a pot I think we go to an antique store and get like a cheap trough or something like that just some kind of bowl uh and uh this is what they picked out it's a bird bath base but it was very very affordable it was marked down in price I think it was like $70 something like that it had a really big base that goes with it for another 70 bucks but I had explained that i' have to drill a hole in that you know T Vera's art right people hand paint these things and a lot of time and effort goes into them and they had like these um molded Turtles and frogs and things on the inside that were you know three-dimensional and I was just like it would be a shame to drow a hole in that but I mean if you wanted me to then I would and then saw the hole in here and said hey that'll work and I was like okay if that's what you want to do that's what we'll do plant that up I'm going to try and get a different bowl that goes in here it'll spread out a little bit more and fill that top with some color get a nice centerpiece in it I think it's absolutely beautiful kind of wish I had got one cuz how pretty would this be just like tucked back into a corner in the garden the only thing with the t is it's really you're not supposed to leave it out in the cold so I don't usually buy big pieces because you have to you have to be aware that maybe they might freeze and they might crack so all the tele stuff that I get has to go inside so I usually get the little ones the little guys trying to sit away from the wind hey hi nice to see you oh I know I'm on your level it's throwing off everything right if you ever wondering how tiny that love seat is now you know so here are the other pieces I don't really know what else to say about them other than I just picked up ones that I really liked that I like the colors on it's got some Cactus some Agave some birds some clouds you can see the other cactus in there and it's more of a desert style theme to it I really like the colors on it my favorite telas are usually the ones with fish on them those aren't as easy to come by I don't see them as often but I really like these cuz I just like the colors on them see the aunti is on there at the Nepal Cactus we got our sleeping guy on there some clouds just really nice pretty pots very pretty some of these are signed not all of them oh and I liked this one I just really enjoyed this color scheme I thought it was a nice nice blend cuz it's got all the colors it's not really a blend it's got everything some nice more traditional style that goes to it as well and there's a slight metallic Sheen to the green I don't know if you're going to be able to see that on camera but it's it's very slight and it's very subtle the way the pattern was done in here almost looks like a tile I just I love it I love that pot that's why I got two of them got the what is this probably a it's probably 6 in and maybe a four or 5 and a half in just 5 in so it' be easier to show you cuz I can hold it up longer oh those a colors that's just such a pretty pot I don't usually buy a lot of Tela that has a lot of unglazed space you can see like trying to point this out I should have oh noise should brought my tripod out here see how there are areas on here where it's not glazed I usually like for them to be completely glazed over but I bought this one and another one that's inside that have a lot of the clay showing through and I actually really like them I was surprised but they're just a little bit more subtle subtle this is very subtle you know what I mean just something different I really enjoyed them and then I also got this one this one who's tag I'm still working on getting off the top the Tag's stuck on there pretty good I'm trying to be very gentle with how I get that out this is going to be a Mother's Day present so I got this far in advance but I just know this is something that my mom would absolutely love she likes things that are just cute and colorful it's a cat she loves cats perfect gift and it's got the little hole in it and everything I also just realized if they put the flower like right on the butt if it's tail were up that would be really funny yeah it's just a cute cat I like all the details on it though whoever was painting on this one really took their time you can see a lot of nice pretty shading and outlining especially on the Petals of these flowers that's the thing I love about t is just so much time and effort goes into them I try to never buy them from Big Buck stores I like to buy them when I know that they're from the people who are making them or from somebody who went down there and bought them from people who are making that's why I like to get them from that Greeno Jones place they just bring in absolutely they'd bring in so much artwork from Mexico ah that was loud thought something was about to blow over and hit me okay one more pot we'll go inside and have a look at it are you done he's done turbo does not like the wind that was an awkward transition I thought I had paused that's why there was that weird Gap there but I hadn't you want to come in you come in come on yeah it's not that often turo wants to go inside apparently he's starting to be afraid of storms o almost forgot about this it's my favorite piece that I got look at that isn't this freaking beautiful it's a fruit bowl I was thinking bird bath and I was specifically thinking succulents wouldn't that be so pretty I love this I absolutely I'm trying to find the right light trying to find the right light kitten what do you think kitten approved yeah you going give it a sniff how's it smell okay thanks for the feedback very well painted just so much color so much liveliness yeah like I said pretty sure it's supposed to be a fruit bowl but I would love to put plants in it but then that goes back to the thing I was saying before about how I don't want to drill a hole in these things either but I'm not going to pop this up with succulents without any kind of drainage because I would want it Outdoors inside I wouldn't be concerned about that you just water it very carefully outside we have rain so I would need to pop a hole not right in the middle but right along the edge probably right here and right there I don't know I could probably find a way to do it so that it wouldn't be too terrible the glaze will probably crack a little bit I it's just something I have to to think about it just feels like such a shame to pop a hole in it but that is the only reason I bought it no matter what it is a bowl right so if you fill it up with stuff you're not going to be able to see the artwork on the inside so I don't feel that bad about filling up with a potting mix yeah I like it it also kind of reminds me of ninja turtles that Michelangelo it was the orange one or rafhael Raphael was red Michelangelo was orange Donatello purple Leonardo blue I think sorry had to sort that out in my brain this is the last one and I think that it is absolutely beautiful it's different from all the others that I've gotten and that it's not quite as Vivid and insane but it has a lot of texture can you even see the texture try and get in closer don't know it's going to show on camera but it has a lot of bumps and ripples and you can really feel the glaze the paint on there and it's one of those ones like I where you can see the actual clay through it so it's not completely covered so well it's not necessarily more subtle it's in a way more subtle it's not quite as loud does that make sense maybe I don't know I just love the T Vera containers this one's pretty big I mean for the T Vera that I buy I don't buy that many very large ones like I mentioned it's a good size look at the shape at the top that a fun shape I love that really nice shape looking good orchid's doing well you say hi look at all the color so much color okay anyways that's going to do it had fun got to go to a nursery picked up some soil got all those pots spring annuals truckloads of plants are starting to roll in here at the house I have lots of roses there's some supposed to be coming today I think it's probably a box of roses I can't remember hopefully not Tropicals I did see that I did accidentally schedule one of my deliveries for mid-march with my annuals that wasn't smart cuz I'm going to have to take care of those right for a long time before I can get them Antics I don't really like to plant many of the annuals until late April into mid May so I don't know hopefully that thing is still standing and if it is then I'll just pop them in there for a few weeks if not I can make room for the grow space kind of not really grow space is pretty full but okay yeah that's enough comment down below say hi Happy Spring though it's not technically spring it's meteorological spring and I'm fine with that I'm going to call it spring we have one day forecasted blow freezing in the next like 10 to 14 days so that's very spring like for me who's excited start getting some stuff planted up and get to go outside and play in The Gardens finally I haven't got any planting done yet there's still some ice out there from all the snow we had a few weeks ago the ground's pretty much thaw I want to let it thaw some more and I don't do garden cleanup I should have clarified this I've been avoiding garding garden garden cleanup uh I usually try and wait to do much with the leaves and everything until we've had a couple of weeks above like 55 into 70 once I start to see a lot of bees and things flying around I don't mind but until then like to hold off just because a lot of insects the good and the bad over winter inside all that Fallen debris so I do a like a a clean up I blow everything off the patio and everything in the fall and I'll usually take out a few bags of fresh stuff that's Fallen but then the rest of it just gets piled up down over here around the BM and behind that BM and then give it some time and pull it up and then throughout that time between like I don't know what is that late November when they fall to now whatever goes over there ends up blowing around so there's a lot of debris and so need to be cleaned up but I'm looking forward to the clean up it's going to be fun going to be a lot of fun get the power washer out and get things looking fresh we get the pool un covered I said it was going to go bye as always and most importantly everybody keep on growing bye bye
