Our Trip to the Garden Center

Here are just a few pictures I took while we were at the nursery.

It’s a great little nursery about ten miles from where we live and it’s smack-dab in the middle of the country!

It was really chilly so I was happy I had dressed warm. There were only a couple of others there besides Jack and me so we had lots of choices. You can see Jack’s veggies on one of the wagons and my flowers on another. I should have taken a few closer shots but, oh well…..

I bought dahlias (tall and short), marigolds, petunias, pansies, sweet alyssum (white), dusty miller and a bunch of herbs. Dusty miller has a dusty gray-green foliage and doesn’t flower but it’s great for an accent. And I just love masses of white alyssum which really makes all the other colors just pop out.

I actually don’t know what veggies Jack bought…will have to go check that out.

Well, I do know he bought onion sets and potatoes and eggplant, which I just love – have a great recipe for eggplant parmesan and another for ratatouille. Ratatouille is vegetable stew, usually made with eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, and onions, seasoned with herbs and garlic. It’s just delicious.

Not sure what else was in his wagon but I DO know that whatever he bought will be just yummy! I love fresh-from-the-garden fare.

So we planted all the flowers and today he’s going to put in the vegetables. Will post some pictures after it’s all said and done.
