taters - what do you do with your baskets at the end of the season? Replant yourself? Pile them in a corner thinking “…someday…” Something else?
The nursery in Leonardtown has a big bin in the parking lot for leave-a-basket/take-a-basket. When I buy annuals, I get them by the tray and put them in the front porch planters or one of the big pots on the back porch. I never got into hanging baskets of flora.
When we moved into this house, the front looked like this:
All of the baskets were full of somewhat dusty artificial flowers. They were removed in pretty short order. I’m not anti-basket, but silk and plastic flowers do nothing for me.
Erranding is done - between Food Lion and Aldi, I spent about $100. I accidentally stocked up on a few things I’d already stocked up on, but not a huge deal. It’s stuff with use-by dates well within a usable time frame. Everything is stowed and I’m about to head out to the shop to (I hope) finish my work on the dink. (That’s sailor talk for dinghy!) I just need to change into grubby pants and out of these slightly nicer jeans. So off I go!!
