In Coming! - The Impatiens Are Popping

iowa50126
18 years ago

Well, it's that time of year.

I was on my deck this afternoon reading a little Robert Ludlum and being thankfull I was not trying to get out of Houston, TX...when all of a sudden...

One of those little green impatiens seed "grenades" popped and landed on my book.

I've got 5 big containers full of cheap Wal*Mart impatiens on my deck that have grown to be at least 18" ... and they are popping seeds all over.

Cheap thrills like this ... make all that water and miracle-gro I put on those darn plants this summer worth it...:-)

Pete in I.F.
