Fred Meyer Fuchsia Saturday

This week is Fuchsia Saturday at Fred Meyers. 

When I posted this last year, I found out that Eastern Idaho doesn't have Fuchsia / Geranium / Strawberry starts week. (sorry)

I purchased my Geraniums yesterday. I didn't purchase as many as I did last year, but I did purchase 2 trays (
32 each in a tray) of red Geraniums and 8 starts of pink and white Geraniums and 3 ivy Geraniums.

This year I am going to plant more Petunias in my berms then geraniums like I did last year (with vegetable plants in the mix). That is why I didn't get as many Geraniums this year. I'm sure it will be lovely - no matter what I do.

As I am writing this post, I realized that I didn't get any strawberry starts. I guess I'll be going back again today to get the strawberry starts. I decided that I'm going to make a strawberry patch in my yard this year. 

Plus, I need to get the black gold potting soil for 50% off with the coupon. 

Fuchsia weekend always reminds me that I need to get my seeds started. Yes, I know I am about a month late in doing this. This past month has been busy with attending all of Brady's Once Upon a Mattress plays and my Mom visit for a week. Even though I will be getting seeds planted a little later this year, they will be ready when the weather turns warm. I plan to get them started in the next few days. 

I also need to get peas in the ground. 

I love spring. I'm ready for warm dry weather and I can see it just around the corner. 

I love looking out my window and seeing popcorn trees every where I go. It makes me happy!

I also need to trim and mow my lawn this weekend. It's getting really green with all the rain. 

The smells and sights of spring renews me after the long winter. I can't wait to get outside more and get my hands dirty.
