I took photos of the rock along with the UPC code and all that jazz and totally meant to contact the company to complain! Then I promptly suffered short-term memory loss, probably bent over to tie my shoe and duh-hur!!! Never did it. I just uploaded those photos onto my Flickr account, but when I found them on my computer...I was all "What idiot takes a picture of a rock!?!?! HAHAHAHAH IDIOT!! Oh...that's me. Oh, I was supposed to do something about that..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-79644593826007629562012-03-19T20:50:26.089-04:002012-03-19T20:50:26.089-04:00I haven't gotten around to planting my contain...I haven't gotten around to planting my containers yet, but you are inspiring me.

I am always looking for these types of prices for the school garden where I teach Junior Master Gardener. I love all your pots!

What do these stores think? But good for us if they keep on thinking in this way as $7 is way too costly for a bag of soil!!!KLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737654325235566310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-9559612906126508112012-03-14T10:15:37.246-04:002012-03-14T10:15:37.246-04:00Who cares if the bags are a little worse for wear....Who cares if the bags are a little worse for wear. It's what's inside that counts! You certainly got yourself a nice bargain. I don't know if it's just your pictures, but those new pots look huge.

Sometimes I just use the wheelbarrow to mix up some soils to make the "blend" for the year. Then the plant combinations, I love potting season.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140773202280570336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-91244341881868494102012-03-12T23:33:45.781-04:002012-03-12T23:33:45.781-04:00P.S.
