get a plant just because it’s called a lipstick plant?
I got a Lipstick Mona Lisa last week.
It’s doing pretty well so far. Which is good because I don’t have the greenest thumb.
We went to the store to get strawberry plants - for some reason I’ve wanted to grow strawberries for years - it probably has something to do with the tiny little strawberries that grew near the steps at my grandparents house, and with the fact that although I like strawberries, I get sick to my stomach after eating one or two. At least if I grow them, I’m not buying them and letting them rot.
Anyways, we got the strawberries, which unfortunately seemed to be gnat infested. That was not fun, I wouldn’t even let DH bring them in the house to take them to the backyard so they could be planted.
We also ended up getting the lipstick plant, and a tomato plant.
The planter I had for the strawberries was too small, so we went to walmart for another planter, and ended up with cantaloupe and morning glory seeds, petunias for the old hanging basket, and some lily bulbs.
I also dug up some old tulip bulbs I have, so we should have a nice garden…if whatever dug a big hole in both ends of the planters will stay away and stop eating the bulbs.
I think we are off today to buy another window planter, and another hanging basket for the morning glories
