I stopped at what used to be called Dixie Lee garden center  and now I think is just called Junction Garden center, today for blue pansies and really to see what they had this year...

 

 

Blue Rabbits!!

 

 

And blue pansies.

 

 

Out front there are rows and rows of mums.

 

 

Tables of pansies.

 

 

decorative cabbage.

 

 

And then hanging up was some very interesting purple flowering plant. I never bothered to read it’s name, I was in too much of a hurry to look at everything else they had.

 

 

Under the tables were impatiens hiding from the sun.

 

 

 

And then the succulent plants!

 

 

So many kinds!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Piggie!

 

 

Behind Piggie I spotted pickled eggs. There was so much I hardly knew which way to turn.

 

 

If it all didn’t look like it tasted so good it might’ve been easier to walk around in some systematic order.

 

 

Peaches and cherries!! Yes please.

 

 

Hot pickled garlic!

 

 

the twisty tree.

 

 

The big tin rooster is still there.

 

 

Now they have a tin horse

 

 

And I think it’s a donkey!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s what the garden is looking like right now.

 

 

The baby cucumbers are coming up.

 

 

the beets are doing their thing.

 

 

The lettuce is having the time of it’s life!

 

 

The kale is pretty happy too.

 

 

The broccoli is coming along.

 

 

Onions are enjoying the weather.

 

 

The self sowed potatoes are already flowering.

 

 

Basil not real big yet.

 

 

The not-so-good looking romaine lettuce next to the basil.

 

 

I just spotted a flower on the pepper.

 

 

The beans don’t look especially amazing but they look pretty good considering how they have looked some years.

 

 

And last but not least we have a tomato already!

 

I just noticed there are still some flowers in the garden.

 

 

 

 

 

And look, there is even a pea! 

 

 

Not really a dinner’s worth but it’s the thought that counts right?
