Go play in the yard!

Purple Pansies, Chattanooga local businesses, The Barn NurseryNow that it isn't like Dante's inferno quite so hot anymore, it's fall planting time. I for one, really like The Barn Nursery's tag line: Go play in the yard!

It's hard to miss 'The Barn' if you live in Chattanooga. Just in case you've never noticed, it's that big old mess o' plants just off I-24 at the 4th Ave exit. Makes for a nice view from the interstate if you're stuck in traffic going up the Ridge Cut.

Anyhoo...I mosey'd on over there a couple of days ago and picked up some pansies to go in my window boxes and some other stuff to replace the container plants that I gave up on the heat killed a few weeks ago. That big ol' sea of flowers was just too pretty so I took a couple of shots.

Enjoy the pictures, then make it a point to enjoy this gorgeous weather and go play in the yard!

Hi Julia~  I love Pansies, especially the purple ones!  They live a long time, which is good for me, since I do not have a green thumb!

Pansies are wonderful winter flowers in Southern California.  I often find myself admiring them in the garden section this time of year--great way to add a splash of color!

Julia--I usually think of pansies as an early hardy spring flower, but your pictures make me want to go and buy a few pots---something different from the traditional fall mums.  Chattanooga is not that far from Indianapolis, so I should be able to success with whatever flower you do!!  Thanks for the splash of color!

Those pansies are gorgeous and I was just thinking during our rain today that I should have gone for "another round" of flowers this year.
