I love a well-packed freebie
The other day I came home to find two boxes on my front porch, which thankfully I opened right away because they contained precious cargo free plants! The perks of garden-writing are modest, but always appreciated. So thanks to C. Raker & Sons in Michigan for this unexpected treat.
Whats (very well) packed in these yellow shipping cells? 6 Petunias Wave Purple Improved Spreading; 6 Petunias Shock Coral Crush; 6 Marigold Bonanza Deep Orange; 6 Angelonia Serena Blue; 6 Begonia Gryphon; and 6 Angelwing Begonia.
More cool packing was revealed each plant is growing in one of these SoilWrap Plantable Pots, which go right in the soil. Hope they work because I hate bringing home black plastic containers that I then have to figure out how to dispose of responsibly. Ugh.
Theyre almost all planted now, most of them in containers, and Ill post photos when theyre a little larger. But theyre also in borders, where Im hoping theyll fill in newly enlarged perennial borders that arent full yet. You know how it is with perennials first year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap? So until they leap, supplementing the borders with annuals is worth a try, especially when most of them were free.
