What have you bought in a moment of weakness, that you didn't need?

pantry staple.

I once cut my finger on one of those!

Everything I buy is bought in a moment of weakness. There are many moments of weakness. I don't have room for any of it.

+1 for this. Everything. Fortunately, the local Walmart doesn't have these, or generally plants that interest me.

I think I will check on Monday and see if they have more of these 4 for 1 azaleas. That way I can plants one group in the ground and see if they winter, and another in pots.
The two variegated one are making me crazy, especially the spotted one. How unusual.

There's a reason for that 'draw'.. I wouldn't resist, as long as I was able.

I can't afford to have moments of weakness...

Until payday...

Then after that I can't afford them again.

Bought an Autumn Chiffon Azalea from Wilson Brothers yesterday.

Didn’t need it but HAD TO HAVE IT

I limited myself to just one this time.

But they’ll be getting more of my business as they have really good prices and free shipping and since I created quite a wish list on their website.

This may be a hair brained idea, but I was in Walmart (yuck) today, which is a rare event in and of itself, and I was tempted by this azalea combo planted. There are four small azaleas here of different cultivars. After bloom I will split them up and grow them on. I am certain they will require extra winter protection in my coldframe.
Didn't need it but I was intrigued. It was only $10.

$10 what a deal!

The local nursery my daughter worked at last summer had 15 different flavors of mint plants in 2" pots. I bought one of each AND, because I know first hand how invasive mint is in the ground, a pot for each!

We've got acreage in the new house though...so each apple tree will get a different mint to accompany it

I went to the more local Wal-mart today and they had the ones that you got with the different varieties. I didn't get it seeing that I had already bought the one pink one for myself for Valentines day, which is not a holiday we really celebrate anyway. I didn't want to take advantage of his credit card. I suspect these are Florist Azaleas and would not survive a winter here.

It is a logical assumption but I'll find out for sure.

I ordered an Autumn Chiffon Azalea from Wilson Brothers... it arrives today.

The missus ordered me two Amy Azaleas for Valentines Day that will arrive tomorrow.
Stunning Karume hybrid!

I bought one off eBay and I got a dead plant in a ceramic bowl planted in sand with no drainage hole. Was about $100 bucks.

I recall you mentioning this before. I can find you 100 decent ones on a day hike, or helping neighbors clear the ditch line, and it's about that time of year, so just let me know. Might ask for help with shipping is all.

 

[Mapleminx]

more seeds! I need help

Can you eat any of them at least?
Then it's grocery shopping, and doesn't count.

Me too ..mine was about $100 also and I kept it outside in the winter and the whole time I didn't know if it was dead or alive because it looked the same (This was a couple months into my bonsai journey) ...Finally threw it out in the summer when the look of it didn't change at all and no budding. Even now when think about it I still don't know if it was dead or alive

Possibly, it depends what genders grow but some of the seeds were a variety of kiwiberry. The other seeds are definitely not something edible

I'm going to try the kiwi berries some time. A couple years ago they were selling them as woody starts at one garden center in town, but I didn't know anything about them at the time.
