2013 nursery trip

Took a couple hours off today and went to the New Mexico Plant Co. with Stacy, Beverly, and Mary. This is the same place I got plants at last year, and the year before. Weather was cloudy, cold and blustery. Forecast was 70% chance of rain, but that didn't pan out (although I did pass through a sleet (!!!) squall driving back to the office).

I spent $26 and change and got:

• 2 blue petchoas
  (for the big pot by the front door)
• 1 white geranium (pelargonium)
  (also for the big pot by the front door)
• 4 cosmos
  (for the bed next to the front door)
• 3 shasta daisies
  (also for the bed next to the front door)
• 2 purple flowering sage
  (also also for the bed next to the front door)
• 3 basil starts
  (for the raised bed, to go where the fennel was)
