No Showers, But Frugal Flowers
Where I live we've been in a drought pretty much constantly for the past two or three years, which is really hard our my community as it is ag-based. But these facts didn't stop me from planting some flowers.I planted these like a week and half ago or so (don't judge, I kept forgetting to take pictures!) and don't worry readers, I didn't have to pay for these flowers out of pocket, making them a very frugal "purchase".
For Administrative Professional's Day (aka Secretary Day) my office gave me a gift certificate to a local greenhouse where I got all of these pretty flowers. Imagine my surprise when I got to the checkout counter and I was under my certificate by $1.75 and they gave me cash back!
Now that's what I'm talking about :)
Did you plant any flowers or a garden this year?

Those are pretty! That's awesome your co-workers gave you a gift card, too. I don't have anywhere to plant anything, but I did let my mom choose a plant she liked and got it for her for Mother's Day. She's been working on making her front yard look a bit more colorful.
Thanks EM! I was pretty excited about getting the giftcard too. I really like to plant some flowers each year, but I was going to for-go it this year to save on the cost, but because of the giftcard I got to do it :)
I love them! This is my first summer in a house where I am responsible for the gardening and I have no idea where to start! Here's hoping I can steal some plants from my mother/boyfriend's mom and then get some pretty annuals for color :) I can see it getting expensive if I were to buy everything new...I'm not sure why its saying I'm anonymous...it's Downstairs and In Debt
Weird that is shows on your screen as anonymous, it shows correctly on mine. Oh well!
Yes, plants can get really expensive. When I bought my house it had no yard what-so-ever. I'm having to try and grow grass from scratch and do landscaping a little at a time along with other necessary house repairs and such. It is a work in progress and is going to take some time, especially now that I'm trying to get out of debt and build savings...
Pretty! And that's awesome that they were free! :)
Thanks Michelle! I was more than a little excited about the FREE price tag too :)
Lovely! And what a bargain too. Plants and flowers can be so expensive. I saved on plants this year by asking my family if they had any going spare, which they did!
That's great Hayley! I'm glad you were able to get some from your family :)
