Cardiff Garden Blog

I don't really delve much into flower growing, mainly because flowers themselves do not reap an edible product.   But in the past few years I've been more open to growing flowers if for pollinators to come to my garden but also just for common beauty. So when cruising through the garden department of Home Depot one day I stumbled upon the bargain bin shelf (every store has one). Usually you'll see plants that need a little TLC on these shelves. I always check them out because they usually come at deep discounts up to 50% off or more. So when I saw roses for only $5 I couldn't help myself. I planted them last fall on a whim thinking they may or may not take off. I was pleasantly surprised when this spring the bush went full bloom. Now I have fresh picked roses on my window sill to look while I wash my dishes.
