The Hunt for White Mums in October

October 3, 2017

You guys, it’s officially fall.  Summer is over…my balcony garden is kaput and I’m on the hunt for some white mums.   Big round plants of white mums.

I went to Gethsemane Garden and they had a ton of pumpkins and gourds in all shapes and sizes…especially the little white ones that I love to use for decor.  So I loaded my basket up with a ton of those.  Okay, five.  I loaded my basket with five of them.

Look at that lime green one!  Pretty shapely eh?  Have you ever been to Gethsemane Garden in Andersonville?  It’s pretty amazing.  I mean it’s got crazy good stuff in the summer.  But they don’t fail you in the fall either.  Look at these pumpkins!

They have all sorts of hearty fall flowers too.  And winter greens.  All kinds of kales and chards and cabbages!

They have “fancy” mums in every shade of orange and red you can imagine.  

But did they have any white mums?

No, not a one.  But they did have these giant cabbage roses.  Where does a girl get white mums from people?  Hook a girl up!
