| - Confession - I really, REALLY, dislike home improvement stores. I'm serious. I have horrid memories of my parents, my brother and I going to Handy Andy and Ace Hardware as a kid and being bored out of my mind. There's just not much to play with at these stores, I suppose. Therefore, it's a big, big deal that I even *like* this Lowe's.
While hubs will drag me here to acquire the necessary home needs (lights, Christmas crap, paint, etc.) my favorite trip is actually when we head on over to the garden center. The employees are really nice and quite helpful - especially when I'm overly honest and ask for plants and herbs that are hard to kill. Yes, I've really asked them that...on more than one occasion.
They have tons of foliage that will keep your thumb green, nice looking planters and plenty of pretty options. Thanks to Lowe's I had rosemary that lasted all year long and harvested about 10 pounds of fresh basil growing in a planter on my back patio. That's right, even I can't kill basil. Winning.
