I asked Colin for a coil hose for my birthday. I really wanted one! We had 2 hoses left by the old owner but they were long and heavy and very cumbersome for me to be dragging around the yard to get the plants watered. I wanted something light and easy for everyday watering.
Colin passed along my wish to his parents and when his dad came over on my birthday to help put our railing back up, there was a pretty package just for me with a coil hose inside!!!! yay!!!! (not sure they got it from the link or if they found it at lowes/homedepot/walmart/garden center - just in case you want one.) And you should want one! It doesn't replace a real hose but to water pots and plants in a small area, it works great.
And considering one of the old hoses exploded the night before, it was a perfectly timed gift!!! (Side note - I looked inside the hose and it was slimy and gross, so don't drink from your hoses kids!)
I dragged my 3 blue-ish pots out of hiding and set them up by the faucet since I figured the largest one would be perfect for holding the new hose. (Not that I really want a hose front and center as you enter the house, but you can't have flowers without water, so this aesthetically
driven girl is just trying to be practical!) Then I clustered the 2 little pots around it to help it blend in.
But those pots were empty since I am not supposed to be spending money! But an empty pots make me sad.... SO I snuck over to the garden center yesterday to fill them! (I spent around $10, so I am not feeling too guilty.)
They came out lovely. I got 3 annuals and then stole some of the creeping jenny (bright green vine) from a pot I had done earlier in the season.
I would love love love to fill the whole patio with fabulous annual planters, but that just isn't in the budget this year, so these little pots will have to do! : )
I am keeping things watered and keeping things classy!
