No Photo Day

We have way too much to do. We had - well I had a lot of dogs to do so no puppy baths and no photos. Its just a reality as the last time I checked I am not super human even when I want to be.
I know some of you are gardeners. I am looking for hanging baskets that aren't an arm and a leg. We went to a farmers market and they were $60 each. Are they really that high this year? So, please if you see some stunning hanging baskets or window boxes, please send me email and tell me where.
My garden is a mess but we are working 5 minutes here and there. The pups love the twigs etc. They are fast becoming master gardeners and the adults say hey we know how to do this. Coco and Doozie lazed out on the cushions this afternoon with a look of - well this is the life. Jazzy dug a hole to laze in. The dogs are LOVING this weather and all the plants growing as it gives more areas to explore.
Next week I hope to paint the outdoor furniture. I would like to have it done before we start pool time and having people over. Nathan would like me to sand and stain but I said are you going to sand - he said no so its going to be a solid stain over the stain that is on it - no sanding year for me! What colour, I haven't decided.
Pool will be opened sometime the week of the 24th. I am soooooooooooooo excited. Then we will have pups over to swim with their humans of course. We are also looking forward to going to Hunstville and to Grand Bend to visit friends.
Hope everyone is having a splendid long weekend.

My goodness - $60.00 !!! I saw some beautiful large ones at Your Independent Grocer at 2 for $45. and they had some with all the same flower and others with a mixture of plants.
If you know someone who has a Costco membership, check there. I buy all my hanging baskets there. Typically very large and under $20. Give them miracle grow as the soil is not the best.
Got magnificent 16" moss hanging basket at Costco for under $35. Probilem is they are gone as soon as they get them. Loblaws has some nice ones as well for decent price although they are plastic . Also saw some nice ones at lowes. The major nurseries, yes, that's what theyre going for for the large ones.
Sounds like Costco - looking for hanging mix that can go in the sun. Got two pots in the front that sorely need to be filled so it looks semi decent in front. hehe Right now our curb appeal is well less than desirable. Thanks for the tips.
Love this photo of Spice. We also look forward to your visit in Huntsville!
Finding full colourful baskets for shady areas is a little difficult. Costco seems to have the best pricing. I found very full baskets in fibre pots at the 'Apple Market'
on the Queensway past Dixie. A long way from you. Sometimes the smaller
markets carry well priced plants.
I need sunny actually not shady. I thought the Farmers Market would have good prices. They did last years especially for unique baskets. Looks like everyone does the same old oh hum kind. I may have to go buy some singles and create my own. I do that too. So much to do and so little time. I have to paint all the outdoor furniture - weed - fix a door I have no clue how to. Oh well people will have to ignore the works in progress.
