It seems that we always end up at Home Depot on May Day here; partly because if you want to plant little plants "When all danger of frost has passed", this is it. April was cold and wet at the end, and our heater is still running (though we need to replace the thermostat, it reads colder than it should). I think our local Home Depot is now used to me taking photographs in the aisles--and I am not subtle, as I am using a regular camera and not a phone. (my phone is not smart). Yes, it's petunias. The yellow ones are looking rough from the rain, but the plants themselves are healthy. More of the Mandevilla--I love those things. I actually got one to overwinter in New Jersey in the house, though it refused to bloom the second year. And completely randomly, I found another Culver's sign I hadn't downloaded from my camera: Now that is a salad! Bonus, tulips we planted last year:

I painted up my Simply Divine Toto! He's so cute--he'll have to wait a while for a body though; I would like a small one for him, like a Granado Terra body. Those are Ersa Flora eyes, too! I also worked on a pair of Nephelin toes I got from AnchixDPix , she did most of the blushing and here I am just sort of touching up chipped spots and adding the twining vine things. Once the rest of the doll is together she will look a lot better-- cheesedemon88 painted her head. In the back you can see Simply Divine Alec is finally getting a paint job too--it's been over 8 months he's been waiting, but it's been too cold until now. And as promised, the Home Depot petunias! For some reason they do a lot better here than they ever did in New Jersey--they seem to like the heavy clay soil.
