This early bird got her worm!

My schedule has been very busy, both work wise and socially, so I enjoy every moment I get to spend in my gardens. Last Saturday I carved out some time between rainfalls to plant my annuals. I was inspired by our garden club workshop on hanging baskets, and couldn't wait any longer to plant! So early Saturday morning my mom and I headed over to Graf Growers (not just a plug for our clients - it's seriously the best!). Though I didn't make it for their 7am opening, I still made it in time to take advantage of their early bird offer. Saturday mornings (7-10am) in May you receive a worm from the Early Bird for $10 OFF your $50+ purchase - great deal!

I'm usually very grateful for my ability to visualize pretty much anything, but standing in front of so many beautiful flowers can be overwhelming because i can think of things to do with all of them. If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of the color orange, well they had an orange coleus next to a purple plant and it was amazing! Though bringing in that much orange would through everything off so I held back, my mom helped me focus and with the help of the Graf's staff we loaded up two very full carts. Since we shopped so early, I still had the whole day to plant, which i did! Now I just have to remember to keep watering...

Time to start working on the vegetable gardens...
