Curbside Find Part Two

 

After I dragged home the three palms found on the curb trash pile, I dragged out 6 empty pots from various places and sat them there to await what ever I chose to fill them with.

I love this pony tail palm but will not let it know that because it might Jynx It.. It prefers full sun all the time, but will grow well with 6 hours of sun, and will even grow inside, but without sun it grows really slow. 

 

I hit Home depot Garden Shop at 7 am, hoping to miss the worst of our heat wave but while looking for what I wanted and the best price and bang for my few bucks, the sweat was running in my eyes and I could hardly see the show going on. The flowers were full of small birds. They were flying between the aisles at my knee levels and twittering and singing.  I did stop and drip sweat while I smiled at them. 

The first thing I saw at the nursery was a pony tail the same size as this one, on sale for 39.95.

I ended up with 1 Mexican Heather for the big empty pot, and 8. 3 inch plants in  the handle with the container for 12.95 and a bag of potting soil. When I came home it was to hot to work, so I dumped my plants on the stump and waited until Tuesday am just as the sun rose over the trees and HIT ME. I had walked Beau first . The thought of filling 5 pots for the stump and one in the back yard was daunting.

No you are not crazy, there are not 2 trees, I cut the new plants and tree from another photo because i have way to many photos

To be continued tomorrow
