It’s our favorite biweekly activity—visiting the local farm store!
We always get a dozen cider donuts, deli meat, local bread, lollipops, and a plant or two for me 😄🪴.
Today, we noticed the store is getting ready for the fall. There were a few new fall decorations out on display.
Yes, I was tempted to buy some of the fall decor 😏, but I will remain patient and wait until mid-August. Lol 😊
I bought two small houseplants marked down to $2.99. I couldn’t pass up that good deal! 😅🪴
A couple of years ago, I tried to grow prayer plants in my house, but fungus gnats devoured my poor plants. 😭 I had the hardest time getting rid of the nuisance gnats.
Since then, I have learned how to properly care for plants I buy from the farmers market or local stores.
For instance, before, I didn’t know it’s important to give your store plants a proper potting mix separate from the soil they are placed in at the store.
Caring for the eight houseplants I have now (5 pothos and 3 snake plants) and outdoor gardening has taught me more basic plantcare skills, so I am ready to add these two new plants to my indoor plant collection. 😊🪴
The kids also helped scoop a pound of raw peanuts. We like to feed the squirrels at a nearby neighborhood park we frequent. 🐿
Great visit to the farm store today! I just might have to go back and get two more small houseplants. 😄🪴
Do you have a favorite local shop you like to visit regularly?
💜 XO
There is a farm stand down the road that my mom and I have been getting all of our produce from. We have been eating watermelon, corn, and peaches like crazy! I know nothing about gardening, a few months ago we put a potato in a pot of dirt and let it do it’s thing. Last night the stalk that grew out of the dirt died and we had a lot of fun reaching our hand in the dirt and pulling out little baby potatoes 🤣. We have more luck with herbs and vegetables than we do with house plants.
What a cute store, local shops are the best. Cider donuts sound so amazing!
Hi, Katelyn! ☺️ That’s so cool you and your mom regularly get local produce at a farm stand. 😁🍉🍊
I love farm stands, too! 😍 Local produce is the best! I recently discovered there’s a farm stand in my area that is not too far from my neighborhood. They’re opening soon, and I can’t wait to go visit!
I bet it was exciting to grow the potatoes! 😄 We are growing potatoes for the first time, and i am excited and nervous about it. Lol I’m worried the potatoes won’t grow. Hopefully, we get some potatoes.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! 💜 I look forward to reading your blog, as well. Happy Friday! 😊🌸
