I had a job interview last week and I was really nervous about it. I made a promise that I would treat myself to a tomato shopping spree at Garden Fever after it was over.
I need to give myself presents for doing things that normal people do all the time, without a lollipop. Because I am a big baby.
I was on my way to Garden Fever when I remembered that I had scheduled a bang trim with my hairdresser; I had to haul ass to the other side of town to get there. Where I waited 45 minutes. I was so hungry and frustrated and traffic was so terrible I knew I’d never get over there before they closed. I consoled myself by taking a trip to the Isle of Misfit Plants at Fred Meyer. Seriously, the plants were SO picked over and sad looking.
I picked up some coleus to give this area under the hemlock (?) a punch of color.
I’m going to try and divide them so I can spread them out a little. I think I’m a little mortified that I spent $20 on annuals. Annuals don’t come back! When I finally got over to Garden Fever to buy my tomato starts I picked up some meadow rue. I didn’t put it in the ground right away and it promptly wilted. Damn.
