Pretty things

Yes, I love pretty things and bright colors, who doesn't.

I went to Chinamart (Wal-Mart) the other day in search of our special Alaskan brand of seeds that are produced in Anchorage. I was antsy to get them at least even if I can't plant them out 'till June.

I saw these $2.50 pots that were so cute and decided to get myself 3 for my kitchen so I could grow Basil and Oregano inside this year. Basil hates Alaska as do tomatoes.

I realized I could get some for my mom and MIL for mother's day too and plant some herbs for them as well. (reason this is in my private blog and not regular) $7.50 and some dirt and time sounds like a good price to me for those gifts.

The next day onions went on sale to .50 per lb so I got a 50 lb bag as I just ran out of my last bag. It seemed the right way to display both the pots and some of the onions.

Country Jane, onion hoarder

would Martha Stewart be impressed? who cares
