Reading the Tag

Day 3 and already I’m thinking about starting flower seeds. 

Here’s the thing. At Home Depot last week there were shrubs half price leftover from the holiday promotions. Oh, I think, $7.00 is near the price of a sandwich. I bought only one. Next trip, I bought two. 

Then I read the tag.

I thought Emerald Green are miniature arborvitae trees. At 10 to 15 feet tall, that is a no. But they are so cute! 🥰 Not for long. They are a fast grower at 1 to 2 feet a year. 

Tip: Enjoy the cuteness as you read the information tag.

For one year I will plant them in the large  patio flower planters. Year two, I will find them a new home. The boxwood will go in a large planter on my deck to be trimmed into a round shape. 

Until spring, I have three rather large plants to care for. 🤣
