I have a LOVE HATE relationship with April!
It is a hard month for gardeners in Minnesota!
Some days the temperatures soar.....I tiptoe around the yard doing a happy dance!
The next day....snow showers cover the tulips and pachysandra....brrrrr!
When I headed off to Home Depot the other day for some "stuff"!
I decided to check out the garden center!
I love how marketing at the big box stores works!
There in the indoor aisles were all kinds of outdoor annuals better suited for a store located a couple hundred miles south of here!
Eight packs of pansies were only $3.33!
The 4 inch pots of herbs were 4 for $10!
Good news.....
I scored pansies and herbs for some indoor planters!
Eight packs of pansies were only $3.33!
The 4 inch pots of herbs were 4 for $10!
I imagine it came from the thrift store...but it has been around so long I can't remember for sure.
It fits perfectly on the window sill over the kitchen sink.
I plopped the herbs into the pots for a perfect spring time display.
Pansies are a great little plant to buy in the early spring. They are very hardy and could probably go outside even in mid-April....
but I decided not to risk it and instead do a planter in a basket that can transition from inside to out as the weather warms up.
I got out a fun basket and found 4 terra cotta pots that fit.
The different heights of the pots is kind of a fun look.
I used a plastic liner in the basket to protect the table when it is inside.
$6.66 for 16 little plants is really a bargain.
They got divided between the 4 planters....
With a little bit of moss tucked in around the pots....the basket is a nice touch of Spring!
The weather forecast for today is 70 degrees and sunny....so I will put the basket outside on the deck for the day!
And ME?
I will be out in the yard doing a happy dance!
Now....here is your cultural edification for the day....
Have A wonderful day!
