2018 nursery trip

Took today off, met up with Jim and Marsha at San Marcos and caravan-ed over to NM Plant Co. It was my in-laws' first time and they say they'll be back later this week to get more stuff.



Greeter dog is a tank. The guys said "it's all fur," but I dunno. Also: greeter dog's name is Tag. Hi, Tag.



Still good selection, not too busy. I'd say four or five other groups of customers while we were there.

M+J got some herbs and mostly flowers for the big pots in their courtyard and on their front porch. As always, I'm smitten by the dahlias.





Annuals for the front door pot:
  • 1 dahlia
  • 2 white impatiens
  • 2 multi-colored coleus
  • 1 lime-green sweet potato vine

Herb starts:
  • 2 Genovese basil
  • 2 Italian flat-leaf parsley
  • 6 chives
    (because of course all my chives died over the winter, too)
