There's nothing quite like the smell of a garden center or nursery the first time one visits after a long winter. It's earthy and fresh and slightly sweet; it smells like spring. I usually make my first visit a bit earlier than the middle of April, but I made up for lost time. In addition to the plants for containers and for tucking in front of daffodils, I bought a ceramic container that is purportedly frost proof.
We shall see.
I almost forgot to mention that I went to the garden center looking for resin pots. It wasn't until after I got there that I realized it was a different garden center that had the ones I wanted. I'll be heading out to that one maybe today.
