Today is our yearly pilgrimage to Annies Annuals in Richmond, CA. Annies has the most unusual plants, not the same old boring stuff at the regular nurseries.
You have to have a shopping list all ready to go, alphabetically sorted of course! You have to look your plants in their book to find out where the pots are located.
These are a few of the plants on my list:
UPDATE!!
We're back! We were up there at 9:45 and they had already a bunch of people there and the gates were open!! Everything was so pretty and we were soooo excited, of course the coffee didn't help settle us down!
Finally we got down to the business of SHOPPING! First we had to hit the books with our lists....so we knew were all our plants were located. Then we are ready, start with all the Es, as in 1E, 2E, 3E and so on. Wow, when we hit the succulents we kind of went crazy and off-list! Well, we were in there from 10 am to 2pm and we did pretty well. We had our gift certificates from each other in hand and managed to still have some $ left on the certificates when we left! I filled the whole bottom tray of my cart and Jen did pretty good with the top tray of my cart. Cathy, well lets say she did really well since she was working a whole cart by herself! What fun!
And now we have to plant them............darn, that is not quite as much fun!
