With the taunts of spring, come the full in-store point-of-purchase displays for flower seeds, potting soil, vegetable seeds and the array of other various gardening gadgets and wonders. Lowe's Lawn & Garden section has been a must-browse section ever since mid February when their gardening supplies were re-introduced. Yep - "plant" me in that area and I can occupy myself (and maybe a cart-full) of some of that gardening goodness.
Well, I did get myself some seed packets this year. For flowers, I chose: Morning Glories, Cosmos, Snapdragons and Zinnias.
I also decided to try an indoor herb garden with: Lavender, Cilantro, Basil and Oregano.
As I snapped these pics quick, I thought I should let you in on my little - ok, maybe not so little - plant hobby I have...
 |
| Upstairs in the loft, getting plenty of sunshine! |
 |
| On the windowsill in our bedroom. |
 |
| The Peace Lily from my Grandpa's funeral and the Orchid downstairs in the Fish Room - yes, it's real! |
 |
| Our "Green Bay Packers" Plant on the kitchen table |
 |
| the seeds turned to seedlings for my flowers, coming in nicely! |
Now we move outside, where I hauled out some of the things you see below, since the weekend weather has been in the 50s!
 |
| This is a plant screen I got on clearance last year (I think) - I just set some pots in it to show how it works. Tucker is in there checking out the pots on the ground. He likes that it is spring time too! |
 |
| this is the 1/2 wall in front of our porch - another flower box will go next to this one shown. I have yet to plant anything in here - it's only March in MN here people! |
So, that pretty much sums up my plant state at the moment. I am excited to post more photos when the flowers come up and show their colors - and when I have some peppers and herbs to show! I have been having fun getting down and dirty in the potting soil and prepping pots and plants and seeds for the new spring and summer seasons to come!
Think Spring!
