Plant Mania

Yesterday we hit up the Desert Botanical Garden's plant sale and I went a little crazy. Then I went to Lowe's to get soil and all their plants were in bloom. Jasmine, hibiscus, and honeysuckle - I could not say no. I love buying plants. It is my weakness. Unfortunately I'm not as good at growing them as I am at buying them so they have a 75% chance of survival. (Up from 50%. I'm getting better.) But plants are my therapy and my sweet husband understands that and does not mock me (much) when I come home with a box full and sadly throw 1 or 2 away 9 months later.


Owen giving mom some planting tips. I think between the two of us, this batch is going to make it.

Much, much good luck to the two of you. I love planting flowers and watching them grow, too. So does Trina, come to think of it, she probably got a double dose, one from both Grandma's. And maybe one from me.

Keep sending pictures, Carrie. I love to think of those flowers growing for you. :0)

Lots of Love, Robyn . . . that's Grandma Bug to you Owen xoxo
