On the way home from Dayton on Friday, we happened upon the quaintest little plant nursery called Paradise Plants and had to check it out. We met the owner Elaine who gardens in hospital scrubs and has the sweetest southern accent I have ever heard. She has one of those smiles you just can't say no to and we ended up leaving there with tomato plants (matured and already about to bloom!), 2 rose bushes, a rose vine and a citrus satsuma tree (with a gorgeous scent that will knock the socks off a rooster). We also left with a full history of Elaine's cajun family tree and an extensive botany lesson. We will definitely be back.
Completed flowerbed pics coming soon.....
So, the tomatoes, bought on Friday, potted these bad boys on Sunday and they already have little tomato babies blooming!
