After we were done working in the patio garden Nancy and I went to Herold's Farm Stand again. I wanted to get another hot pink geranium. I got that and we got much more. We picked up a few perennials. We got two Digitalis, or foxglove.
(picture was blurry...will try to get a better one tomorrow)
We got 8 Gazanias. Four bright yellow and four white.

And then we got two Gerber Daisies. I love how simple these flowers look.

When we were done at Herolds, Nancy showed me how close I was to my original destination yesterday. It was within walking distance. I really should look around more when I'm driving. So we headed over there and yes, bought more plants. I'm very excited with what we got there. I found a Patchouli plant and I actually found Stevia. I have been wanting to try and grow stevia for a long time. We use stevia in a lot of our drinks that we make so I thought it will be fun to try and grow. I bought two of those plants.

Then we picked up some sweet basil and some parsley plants. For some reason we didn't have parsley yet. Then Nancy got talking to the owner and then owner told us to go look at the vegetables and we could take whatever we wanted because she was just going to throw them away tomorrow. We got a huge flat of Hungarian Wax peppers and several Acorn squash plants. I don't know where the heck we are going to put all of the peppers, but I am going to put the squash in the bed where I had planted the green beans. Only one green bean plant survived, so we have the room.

It was warmer over the weekend. Low 80's and we had rain both days.
