I should spend more time enjoying the little garden outside Watson's. It's lovely and always makes me think that it would be wonderful to have a garden that looks like this. However, I soon realize that my bad gardening habits would soon have these beds so crowded that they'd look hideous.
Last season, I bought one of these close to the holidays when they were practically giving them away and it lasted beautifully through spring when I planted the succulent contents in pots. Fun!
Aren't these bookends adorable? If my house wasn't already packed with stuff, these would have come home with me.

Fall is in full swing!
They're getting ever more creative with the planted (glued) pumpkins.

Iwas going to skip kale this year but they add color during fall and winter so I got three.

I'm delighted that the cacti and succulent fad shows no sign of fading and Watson's is carrying an increasing number of these cool plants.
The way the orange glochids on this opuntia catch the light is sweet!
Nepenthes ventricosa has cute little pitchers.
Dig the cool birdbaths.
