My rescues are coming along nicely!

OOH what a good idea. Thank you for the marvelous tip. I honestly never thought to buy the yucky ones for less, and then try to save them. I will troll the aisles the next time I am at Walmart.

That's great! I do this, too, and it's amazing how resilient plants can be. Not only you get plants that are inexpensive, but it's great to see them grow a new leaf, a new growth, and then take off. Congrats on a beautiful rescue garden!

That's a nice little display you've got coming along there. I'm jealous actually, as I don't grow any flowers and my garden near the house could deperately do with some. I used to buy herbs in the supermarket in the reduced section. They sold ones in pots which they reduced to 10p (about 20c) which I was able to resurrect and grow on. In fact, the chives all over my garden started out that way, and have even moved country!

Wow i like it that you think so good of plants as to rescue them and grow them on your own. WOW really it is awesome because i see people who trample on plants and do not give it a second thought. But you are great. I too can feel the sadness of plants that are not watered. Your garden is so colorful and lively.

I just wish that you lived near me... that way every time I kill a plant you could rescue it. I use to be ok at growing things but it seems lately that all I can do is kill them.

What fun! I haven't bought any plants in a good while, and I started my few vegetables from seed. The other flowers here are those that I moved from other places around the yard that were here before we moved in. Great idea, though, and I'll definitely keep it in mind for when I get my own place. You've done great!

I like to do the same as well. I have some flowers that are clearance items rescued. Thanks for sharing. I can't see things from my office except my veggie garden if I get off the chair that is. Thanks for the photo as well. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Those look pretty good there. I often buy plants from Wal Mart and they generally do pretty good in my home when they can. I really have only one good window for plants and no outdoor balcony or place to keep them outside. So, some plants don't do well as they attract bugs and have problems with fungus in the potting soil that is available for them.
