I visited Diggin' It on Saturday and was impressed with her plant selections. They were high quality and she carried a lot of interesting foliage which I love for my containers on the front steps. She did not have a lot but what she had was in good shape and she was tending them. I'll have to posts pix when the plants fill in. I bought blue and orange pansies, Northern Lights chard, and mustard greens. I am going to go back for some kale and more pansies.
My great-grandmother always planted blue pansies so I feel I need to carry on the tradition.
She also carries a line of organic fertilizers made in Dallas called Rusty Can Organics. I bought one that was high in nitrogen that I thought would be good for my pansies and also put it on the azaleas. I'll have to see if he makes one for azaleas or I should just mix it with old coffee grounds like I always do.
I bought an antique needlework sign and some soaps. She had hand-painted rocks that said "UNT - Mean Green" I bought one for my birdbath area where there is river rock. Adds a touch of whimsy and my husband has not noticed yet. Can't wait until he does. My birdbath broke so I am on the lookout for an interesting alternative birdbath. I thought of some kind of granite or concrete basin. Any ideas?
