I loved my new gray flowerpots from Costco.
For a mere $29.99 apiece, two gray pots filled with mysterious flowers and leafy things flanked the entryway in front for one spring and summer.
This post is for the bored who are thinking of taking up gardening as they sit home for maybe the first extended period in years. Don’t do it yet. The first year I was here I did not understand. March was lovely, warm and soft with all the signs of spring buds and gardens to come. I planted. Then the April snows arrived. The season in Illinois does not start until late April for good reason.
If you are itching to get started, you could put out pots (or old pans or whatever will hold water) in the garage or attic. YouTube will help you with technique. But I thought I’d issue a warning based in my memory of watching the snowflakes settling onto the greenery on a white day only a stone’s throw from May.
