Teresa D's Profile | Snellville, GA

I was at Grower's Outlet last year and saw this Oakleaf Hydrangea in a pot, marked down to $12. It looked really bad but I recognized what it was and I had been wanting to get a few for ...»

I made my rounds looking for specific plants for my clients and as usual, there were carts ...»
over flowing with plants to go to the trash. All they needed was WATER! Such neglect! I worked for a Nursery that delivered to the Tri State area. I would maintain the plants in the Walmarts and Home Depots because there was so much waste from their owned hired staff. We ran into so many problems with Walmart -they didn't want hoses around or floors wet with customers shopping, it was a slipping and insurance issue. Walmart didn't even allow me to carry my bottle of water, no eating or drinking on the job where customers can see you!! Try being in the hot sun for hours with no water! They felt it looked like we were "slacking" on the job but I wasn't their employee, I wore my company shirt and apron. The vendor gave up and no longer has us maintain the thousands of plants.

Gardening: How can I best maintain my Kalanchoe at work?

I've seen several tables (wood) that have scratches and water/cup rings. I was wondering if it is possible to repair some of these? I imagine the answer is "it depends". I am guessing ...»

Feeling a little melancholy watching trees come down

Workers are here taking down some trees in my yard. I feel a lump in my throat as I watch them come down. :-( Most of these trees are Bradford Pears leaning dangerously but a couple are ...»

You have such a beautiful front door...and the after shot is far more inviting from the street.

Is this the coolest or what?

I had been whining about my trees and flowers that I lost this past weekend with the cold weather and lookee what my beau got me for Valentine's Day! Is this cool or what?

and place them in the basement for the summer. Next spring they will peek through the dirt on their own. I have a squirrel overload in my yard so bulbs don't last in the ground.

Thanks Kimberly Barney . I ...»
would like to do a sitting area over there. I really like the arbor swing in @Deb from Harleysville's post http://www.hometalk.com/135573/arbor-swing-m... but no way would I get enough sun over there. Maybe an arbor isn't out of the question though as I see how much sun I'm getting now that these trees are removed. I love coral bells too! I have some by my back fence. They aren't doing so hot though. I could move them. I will check out Brunerra.

Spent a long weekend in St. Simon's Island, Georgia

It was our second time to the island. This time we rented a cottage and stayed further inland. The scenery was gorgeous. I just have to share! Why did we ever leave??! *pout
