What’s Shopping Without Plants?
We Have New Plant Roommates
Ever since we moved into a house with a yard and garden a little over two years ago, my husband and I have become plant lovers. Our goal is to plant as much greenery — shrubs, flowers, and trees. We can’t dedicate as much time to it as we’d like, but we’re making progress, step by step.
The other day, my husband went shopping and decided to stop by the market. He came home with five plants!
Recently, he has developed a love for eucalyptus trees. We had a beautiful one right under our kitchen window, but we moved it after hearing that it’s not ideal to have it so close to the house. It didn’t survive the move, so we bought another one, but transplanting didn’t succeed.
Now my husband has brought home two new ones. Fingers crossed they survive this time.
They’re beautiful but pricey!
They’d better make it!
