A friend knew I was having a problem since my Meyer lemon never bloomed, so he asked in Lowe's to help me. The person's advice in garden center--"put the lemon tree in the ground, then it will bloom. It has to be in the ground to bloom."
I am afraid I said a naughty word. I know better than that advice. Friend was amazed I did not believe the advice he relayed to me. I did figure out that maybe I needed to fertilize. I did fertilize once with Miracle Gro. Today, I bought spikes for citrus trees. I am thinking about getting a lime tree, too. There are two bedrooms that have lots of light where they can live this winter.
This is why it is hard to believe "the experts."
I bought two grab bags for $2 each
cardboard decorations for wall or hanging1
temporary tattoos with Day of the Dead vibe
beach ball to inflate--16" diameter--9 sheets, 15 tattoos on each sheet
sparkly orange, black or purple hanging Halloween decorations
chocolate candy mold
6 Halloween cookie cutters
2 pair size S panties
Beautiful Day of the Dead card and envelope
reusable shopping bag with vegetables and fruit pictures, $2
Then, I bought some loose items:
Two mini light sets, multicolor, 140 lights, $2 each
red child's M sweatshirt, $2
pack of 3 Christmas socks for child, $
Second grab bag:
Small, black garden flag with Fall pics and words
box of 29 self-adhesive pumpkins
medical mask, black, scary
disposable face mask with pattern
2 pair of black, heart-shaped sunglasses
lens shield for camera ???
wooden elephant with 8 cords hanging from it, maybe something to macrame
Most of this well be given away to children. Or, I could sell some of it. The socks and sweatshirt will be given away. Total spent--$15.
Maybe I will tattoo myself for the Day of the Dead...lol.
How often are you skeptical of the advice of "experts?" I imagine friend walked up to person in vest and asked this question, then accepted any off-the-wall answer.
