well our day went according to plan, everything went well at the clinic, and very quickly.. which was an added bonus... we went and did another couple of errands and then headed back to the car, and headed to the garden centre, but it was too early for afternoon tea... so we had a light  snack instead... Having enjoyed our refreshments, we walked around the garden centre garden, which was very nice, lots of flowers plants shrubs and trees...,  sssoooo  many photo opportunities... but sssoooo little time.. but...,  I still managed to get a few... lol click on the link below for a short slideshow collection of what we saw today.. Our lady bought some nice plants for her patio pots... so hopefully if we get a sunny spell over the weekend we'll plant them out ... my favourite was a miniature orchid called little lady, in a variety of colours, which decorated the tables in the cafeteria. https://youtu.be/FcDCIg5eTx8

Be careful about planting things out too soon Sue, we could still get a frost. If they are in pots I would put them in a shed etc. overnight until about the middle of May.

I am glad that I planted nothing. We had two very warm weeks and people have started planting flowers and vegetables and then, yesterday morning it snowed. I am glad I waited. I plant nothing before mid-May.

@sueznewz2 oh, we've the lil splotch 't wally-world 'n lowe's, e'en the grocery store's some plants. there's a couple 'f nurseries here, but they aint set'p to please the eye 'n let folks see how the plants they sell'll handle our kinda weather. 'tis a challenge to grow many thingies here, dependin' 'pon ones soil 'n such. i'm blessed with caliche 'n blow sand :) lots 'f compostin' through the years 's helped immensely. big hugs 'n love!

Love your photos, I haven't been to the garden center yet, its too early here in Canada to even think about planting. By the end of this month our flowers will be planted so I should go and check out the new plants.
