The family went to the McKinney farmer’s market this morning and found some good deals. One the way back we stopped at the local nursery off Greenville. They had a sign out front ‘retiring, everything must go’. I asked the lady helping me what the story was, she explained that the area would soon be the new stadium. I was not impressed, an over-priced, over-hyped, concrete shrine to the religion of football replacing a local nursery with lots of beautiful old native trees.
Anyway, I did get a great deal on some plants. Their tomatoes were $1 each. I knew I needed to replace 2 of my upside-down tomatoes, and figured I could find room for an additional 2 on top of that. Those upside planters don’t seem like a good match for little seedlings. I think you need a plant that is over 12″ in height to start with. Also, Amber wanted to fill up some of her pots with geraniums, so we got a flat of those too.
Most everything is growing pretty good right now. I think it is too hot for the new carrots to survive in the full sun. They sprout up, but then die within a day or so after they experience the full Texas sun.
