MY VERSION OF BLACK FRIDAY ~ GARDEN EDITION

Ho Ho Ho or should I say HOE HOE HOE...It's BLACK FRIDAY in the GARDEN.
Black is good...for business AND for the garden. Let's see what I've got that's black.
For starters I have a black hoe.

I have black seeds...these are from Four O'Clock plants.

I have a black chicken that's taking a siesta in my arms.

I have rich, black dirt and really rich, black compost. The chickens love to help out.

I have black water tubs for rainfall. BTW: We are finally having normal amounts of rainfall for the first time since January! This water is for my larger trees.

And finally, I have black patterns on these peacock gingers...Kaempferia 'Shazzam' and Kaempferia 'Brush Strokes'.
Now with all that, why should I go shopping? I think I'll stay home and enjoy the garden.
Thanks for stopping by and happy shopping.
David/ :-)

  3. I'm with you, David. Why on earth go out into the mob to buy things we don't really need when we have better things at home...like chickens, plants, etc. I like your black Friday :)

  4. No need even to go to the garden center? ;) I'm thinking I could use more plants with black foliage!

  5. I'm glad you spent Black Friday in the garden. I did the same. However, it is now Saturday and I must venture forth!
