A Trip to Buy Plants

I get an e mail at the beginning of each week  letting me know about any specials that the plant shop is offering. This week's sale was on mixed planters and we took a drive to buy a couple to add some pretty colour to the porch.  
But which to choose when there were so many and no two exactly alike?




 I settled on these 3,  each had a couple of plants included that looked like the kind that would make it through the winter.That's always a bonus.




 ..... as well as 4 little paper pots each with a cheery Pansy.   Can you see the pumpkins on the pots?

Our cool weather continues and I'd like to say I've been hard to work but the truth is I've been doing  just the necessary chores and then reading.


Thanks for coming by,   GM

  1. It is wise just to do not more than the necessary work and then to read in a good book! I'm afraid of cool and wet weather like all people here now. We have a dream-September with a clear blue sky and a mild sun, like a dream. All love it! But in Greece and South Europe they have after a summer of terrible heat and fires nor terrible rain. What a catastrophe.
    It is not easy to choose the plants, when you see so many nice pots with autumn-flowers. You found some nice new guests for your loving home.

  2. Oh I love all the flowers you chose.....and their pretty pots too. We got almost an inch of rain last night....so that makes me happy. It's been a very dry spring and summer here. Our hot days just left and now we have a long string of nice cool weather.

  5. Hi GM! I have been thinking about buying some color at the plant store, too! Your pansies are so nice. I'm glad your weather is cooler and I hope you get lots of rain this fall to nourish the soil.

  6. Now is a fun time to plant shop just for some spots of color. Your choices are very pretty.
    September is slump month, for our gardens and for us. We'll get busy later.

  7. Here it is very hot and I don’t buy any plants for the moment. I will try after our holidays. If we plant now they will not survive at 34 degrees C !
