2016 nursery trip

I took off a couple hours this morning before work and went out to NM Plant Co.

Greeter dog was happy to greet, but was dubious about having his picture taken.





Much better selection than last year, when I waited until after the beginning of May to go. They're kind of picked-over by then.

Got mostly shade-loving annuals for the pot by the front door (that worked out well last year):
  • 1 white sage (thriller?)
  • 2 white impatiens (filler)
  • 2 multi-colored coleus (filler)
  • 2 purple sweet potato vines (spiller?)

Also picked up 2 each starts each of:
  • chives
  • Genovese basil
  • Persian (!) basil
  • thyme
Total was $23 and change.
