$9 Christmas trees?

Apparently you can buy a Christmas tree for under $10!  Today, if you go to  Plants For All Seasons(Louetta location) and tell them that Shawn & Blinda with Your Livable Garden sent you, they’ll give you a tree for $9.

I guess they know it’s been a tough year for everyone, and they don’t want anyone to have to miss out on one of Christmas’ sweetest traditions–the tree.

Good for you, PFAS, for really getting into the Christmas spirit!  It’s almost a Christmas tree giveaway, and that’s just the kind of thing that warms my heart this time of year.

It’s also pretty heartwarming to see how much the kids enjoy this time of year–and especially to see how much they enjoy the non-commercial aspect of the holidays.  Listen to some of the great ideas that Charlie with the National Gardening Association has for kids out in the yard, and check out the details at www.kidsgardening.com

Shawn and Blinda also talk with Brenda Beust Smith, aka the Lazy Gardener of the Houston Chronicle, about absurd things in the garden. Brenda notes that after this past freeze, her rain tree did well, and so did her roses.  But Shawn will comment on how many things did not do quite so well…like our annuals, which we’ll now have to call “daylies” or our xanadus, which are now “xanadon’ts.”

Stay tuned for some updated photos of the office, of Shawn and Blinda’s pool, and Mirror Lake’s  Christmas party!
