the SALES hold the sale of all sales



i do confess, i am a junkie. i can always find room in the yard for another plant, shrub or tree. i am always popping into out of the way nurseries hoping to find the deal of all deals. well i am pleased to announce this weekend pete and i hit the jack pot! and it's been right under our nose the whole time. the sales own a very small nursery that is just on the other side of the forest from us. i've see their sign at least two hundred time but couldn't see anything from the road so i never ventured back. this weekend bright colored balloons were hung to their sign which now also said SALE - SAVE BIG MONEY! it was too much. i had to check it out. i am so glad i did. i will have a hard time shopping at lowes and home depot in the future as mrs. sales offered her perennials, her gorgeous perennials for $2 and her annuals at $.50. we left with 7 flats of flowers and vegetables for $35.50. i couldn't not get over it. needless to say we did more then a little planting this weekend. i was finally able to fill in this new planter we added under a tree in the front yard. i also managed to get several large color pots added to the back deck. sure to be enjoyed for many months.

Gorgeous! and LUCKY!

Our perennial lady closed up shop last season. Sad.

That bed looks beautiful! And great stone-what a find.
