Locals, the sale is 9-7 Friday and Saturday and 10-5 Sunday at the Shoppes at College Hills under a big red-and-white striped tent!
Dad got some vegetables for the garden, plus mulch. Mom found some impatiens for her shady areas. And I got a variety of lovely little plants for my hanging pots: asparagus fern, a purple lobelia, delicate white euphorbia, and yellow and white lantana (which I hear grows like a weed in Australia). The idea of the pots is that 1) the rabbits won't eat these delicacies as they hang from the eaves 2) the squirrels, likewise, can't dig in the pots, burying their treasure and kicking up the plants.
Planning to get together with my mom on Sunday, too, to talk poetry!!

Those squirrels will keep trying! Have a nice Mother's Day.
Yes, they will. I rigged up a little fence of scrap wood posts around the rim of a couple pots with seedlings, and they just tossed them out. "We don't need no stinking fence posts."
If I didn't know better, I would have thought the leaves for the flower were mint. Perhaps I need to visit the eye doctor soon.
