It stopped raining long enough for me to go to the garden centre today to buy my flowers and most of my herbs. They didnt' have all the herbs I wanted so I'll have to try other places, hopefully some garden centres will be open tomorrow. But the main thing is I bought all sorts of lovely flowers and am going to plant them on my balcony tomorrow.

This is a big deal because this time last year i was in a psych hospital, and by the time I got out in late june all of the annuals were sold out from the garden places so I didn't plant anything.

I can't wait to get started planting - I bought lovely deep purple and bright pink petunias for my hanging boxes.
