winter blues save major greens at the garden center!

Winter may not be the time you think Garden center, but looking around at your local Lowe's may bring you deals like these:
125 gallon complete pond with pump kit~ normal price $119~
clearance price? $29!
This will be going in front of our basement glass block windows in late Spring. For now, it sits by the pool table seedlings nourished with the grow lights....
Makes me miss Clyde and Bonnie... How they would have LOVED to romp in this thing...

2 beautiful stenciled pots normal cost $24.97 EACH... Clearance price? ~ $6.24
"Ray~Ray" the big rooster normal price $39 and clearance for $10
There is a mini Chiminea in there for $2.50 (will be part of an upcoming project), A waterfall attachment for the outdoor pond ($10), around 30 houseplants on the bargain clearance shelf from $.74 cents to $3.00 for the extra large multi colored ones.I also purchased a 35 gallon round pond with pump, in the same shell form like the above, for $12! Normal price was $40. This was at The Brimfield/Kent Lowe's. Same place I found those Bargain stepping stones last Spring.
The 35 gallon round pond will be going in the Living room. Yes, you read that right. An indoor gold fish pond, surrounded by the above houseplants and a love seat close by. A reading nook for those days of rain in the summer, and cold winter days to dream about the upcoming garden season. A nice nook for our little ones to curl up with their books and Night time bed stories for all 3 to cuddle up with mommy, while sipping bedtime tea...
Once I have the frame for the pond built, I will share with all of you how easy it is to make a nook of your own, on the cheap.
Think out of season most likely equals BARGAINS!
upcoming.... A new coop for the new Ladies and their gentleman!
Sweetest Dreams,
