Today we had lots of errands to tend to in town. We got our list together and off we went - in search of soil for the new raised bed that Don and I built yesterday - some plants and other gardening stuff that we've been needing.
Last night on the way home we saw a sign for a plant sale at the Unitarian Church - so that was our first stop - and what a sale it was. They had a big fenced area with tables and bins full of plants. All the tables were labeled so you could head right for what you wanted. I got three lilac starts - they are tiny - but they were $1.00 each - good price.
Then I headed for the edibles tables, I was especially looking for tomato plants for the new raised bed. And I got tomatoes. Again- can't beat the price - small plants - but at 2/$1.00 I couldn't resist. I got
Stupice Heritage - a great tasting slicing tomato . . . one that Beccy and I have wanted to grow for some time now . . .
White Currant Tomatoes - sweet juicy tiny white tomatoes . . .
And Yellow Pear - just because they taste so good . . . and are so cute . . .
And Super Lakota - another good eating tomato . . .
They didn't have any Golden Chain trees, but one of the workers at the sale is going to give me a start of one from her yard next week.
For fun - and pretty I picked up a couple of white geraniums - one will go in the raised bed with the tomatoes and one will go on the porch in a basket that hangs from the railing.
I transplanted my chives to the raised bed also - they had been growing along the edge of the flowerbed near the porch and the poor things kept getting mowed. At least now they will get a chance to grow before we chop them off to eat.
