Chairs aren't just for sitting on.

Do you have objects sitting around your garage or shed you've been meaning to throw away?  I’m talking about chairs, wagons, cans, shoes, and boots.  Why not repurpose those items?  The seat on one of my iron patio chairs broke.  I didn't have the heart to watch the trash men haul it away.  So, I searched my shed and found some chicken wire leftover from another project.  I used wire cutters and a few zip ties to secure the wire in place of the seat.  The chicken wire made the perfect space to put moss and soil.  I then searched the plant nurseries for the perfect plants.  I wanted to use annuals, so I can enjoy a new look as the seasons change.  I fell in love with Blue Bocopa, as soon as I saw it. I bought two of them for 3.99 each.  The Snow Globe Becopas were a steal, at 1.00 each, on the clearance rack!  Remember, if you see plants on clearance, and you know about their care, you can go home a happy gardener.  If you don't know about the plant leave it there until you do your research.  It's not a good deal if you spend money on an annual, then find out that it's cheap because the blooming season is over.
 
 
Total project cost:  around 20.00
This month's receipts got thrown away, but my memory is pretty good when it comes to this project.  Using items I already had at home helped keep the cost down.

We are going to have so much fun!  We are the perfect accent to any garden, especially if you use us in a container that has good drainage.  We are Gulliver Blue Bacopa and Snow Globe Becopa.  We're excited you are adopting both of us.  We promise to blend into a beautiful bouquet of purplish-blue, and white flowers.  We're short, but our abundance of flowers and our cascading stems make up for our lack of height.  We like full sun, but we don’t like dry soil, so when it’s hot we will need to be watered regularly.  Bacopas are wonderful companion plants for any container.  If you like pink and red flowers you're in luck.  We have close relatives in those colors, too.
Hummingbirds love us.  We provide them with nourishment from spring to fall.  Add us to your butterfly/hummingbird gardens and we’ll do our best to attract them.

I hope we make your day more beautiful,
Bacopas
