The storms pretty much fizzled out and the worst of it passed to the south of us. We did get about a half a foot of rain in two hours and parts of town were flooded pretty bad. But all in all not bad.

Went grocery shopping today, drooled over some of the plants the guy was putting out. Some gorgeous petunias and double impatients, and pots of sunflowers. Think I want to use some of my garden cash to get one of those pots of sunflowers. Along with daisies and black eyed susans, sunflowers are my favorite flowers.

Plan on getting a cute dish planter and a variety of cacti and making a cactus garden. It can stay outside during the warm season and I'll find a place for it inside during the winter.

Hopefully this weekend I can get my daisy seeds planted and haul the pot out for the hyacinth bean vines and get those seeds planted too. I also need to hit Rick's grandfather up for some of his white daisies. From what I understand he planted a small amount and now they are taking over, so I can steal some without a problem.

Hopefully new plants this weekend!
