I had to go pick up my dogs insulin from the vet today and Lowe’s was right next door. I wasn’t planning to buy anything but I did want to look. We all know how that goes! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ I didn’t buy much but I got some beautiful color spots for my back courtyard! It was so bare. #Marigold #Freesia #Dianthus #Petunia. The color is great and they were all on sale. $29.00 for the entire haul plus I got a #CalatheaCrew Zebrina Calathea too! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SpringIntoSummer floweringPlants">#floweringPlants
@costafarmsteam, take a look at these! @Shells_garden love the colorful spots for the courtyard, and the Zebrina Calathea looks like a beautiful addition! πŸŒΈπŸ’š
Lol im avoiding lowes and home depot like the plagueπŸ˜‚πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
@Aikalovesphilos thanks. It looks so bare right now so I’ll be out there tilling and getting the soil ready to plant this weekend!
@TheConservator I hear you. I almost didn’t go but my husband wanted pansies. I missed last season and I apparently missed this season too because I waited to long but I still needed to fill the dry, dead spots in the courtyard so I substituted for plants that I like instead! I won’t be going back anytime soon. It was 5 plants for 10 so I got 10 plus the Calathea. I can barely keep up with my Oasis as it is with 350 some odd plants πŸ˜… I am definitely going to be avoiding all plant store like the plague now too!
@Shells_Garden yeah inusually go spring pkanting crazy! But after all my houseplant buying thus year, im tryjng to stick to my perrenials i already have lol so i def relate!
@TheConservator I also wanted to tell you that I follow your daily posts. I appreciate the time you take to do that everyday and I look forward to seeing everyone’s progress.
There so pretty
Bahah this is about to be me on Tuesday. I’m gonna go to Lowe’s and scope out the new succulents before my dermatology appointment! 😏 I love using necessary trips for unnecessary trips… it’s a reward for getting out and doing things.

Beautiful selection! The colors are so pretty.
They’re so pretty and yesterday I went to Walmart to get food for my fish and I saw my dream plant and I didn’t even dare to get married because I knew I would pick up that price οΏΌtag and see how much it cost would cost I was so angry and mad and I still I’m very mad I was out of control I was punching the pillow like if it was a devil and stomping on the floor like if I was trying to kill the devil and I was literally shaking while thinking about it like for reals seeing your dream plant is impossible to control
I love marigolds. Don’t forget you can dry the flowers out and get seeds at the end of the season.
@xenlab thank you for tip! I’ve already dried and planted my seeds from last year. I have sunflower seeds too but I need to find a spot for them. I always keep my flower seeds. I have some hollyhock seeds out there too so I’ll have some of my own flowers and some new.
@Imissmydeaddog it’s easy to get sucked into the trap, especially if you are a plant lover.
@Shells_Garden I know it’s impossible I’m even trying to force myself to quit plans because I think I like them too much but it’s just so hard
@itsjordan I love your thinking Jordan and that’s kind of what I thought. I was already there. Lowes was literally right across the parking lot. I could have walked to it! I
Hello. I felt I should inform complete strangers on this app that I have just broken into the majestic and addictive world of plants. It started with my beloved money tree Bruce Lee. As a random purchase about 6 months ago and well I just added 2 cactus & 5 succulents to the family. 😎 plant addiction is real.
@Shells_Garden You have chosen some very nice colorful plants for your garden. Very Spring-y looking. Looks like you have your work cut out for you! As for those two Hardware stores you mentioned I have been avoiding them like the pest. Did not do me any good bc there’s always online shopping and sleepless nights!
We love the springy feel of it all! Great selection of plants πŸ’
