    Default My Neighbour gave me...

    a $50 GC to the garden center as a thank-you for taking care of her place for 2 weeks, while she was in Hawaii! She said I HAVE to spend some of it on my window boxes (I didn't plant them for two years because it was a "frivolous" extra). She said she missed them. i would plant them with lush begonias underplanted with impatiens and fushias and they always looked so nice. So she said I have to spend the money on the boxes first and then i could spend it on something like veggie seeds if I had to! LOL.

    Isn't she just so wonderful!

    Holly that's such a nice gift your neighbor gave you. You should be able to fill those boxes and buy lots of seed too. Congrats!
