We have a spring break tradition and it is a giant bash. Well, not really, but we thinks it is more fun than a spring break kegger. No, we don't do belly shots of tequila. We go to the Dallas Farmers Market. First order of business is a Mexican breakfast at a restaurant I cannot remember the name of. Then vegetable and egg shopping in the barns. Finally, we hit the two large nurseries and buy plants. I finally scored the green zebra tomato. Now my 2009 tomato collection is complete. Above are a some pictures of the flowers they had for sale today. Isn't it beautiful?
Party On.
Now that sounds like my kind of party. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks fab - my kinda day!

ReplyDeleteSorry Deb - for some reason Blogger decided you'd like to see exactly the same comment from me three times!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, we had a ball.
ReplyDeleteVP, Tee-hee.
Party on is right! What a great time. Glad you found your 'Green Zebra'!
ReplyDeleteA new market is opening down in that area--so you'll need to come back! :)
ReplyDeleteDid you go to Rubials? That is a favorite place of mine. Glad you had such a good time!
That looks like a lot of fun and also so colorful! I have a blog entry about the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market here, but it's from fall, so not as bloomy! I love farmer's markets.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a blast! Our spring break is 3 weeks away still!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Can't wait to go plant shopping here, but that won't be for another month at least.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is! Sounds like fun for all.

Looks like there were lots of flowers for sale there. No garden centers are even open up here yet. I have to get my plant fix by browsing the seed departments at major stores, at least the seeds are in.
ReplyDeleteOFB, Me too, I was about to give up hope.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Yes we went to Rubals. I will absolutely go back.
Monica, I will go check out your market.
Cindee, It was really fun.
Kim and Victoria, We get to plant early, but it gets hot hot hot early too.
Brenda, It was
Cinj, We are in full on plant selling heaven around here.
I've never seen that many plants flowering at one time. Lucky you and lucky us to see it too in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteWoot woot! All you need is a "tomato juice shooter" and some (wheat)"grass", and you're partying old school! ;-) I can't wait to see plants out at the stores like that...we got a dusting of snow this morning. :(
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the best spring break tradition! How fun! I wish I'd been there.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Anna, It was beautiful. Wish you could have been there.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I love a gardener who knows how to party.
Cindy, It is, Wish you could have been there as well.
The weather looks great and it sounds like a great time. I wish that we had something big like that around here. Maybe one year we can make the trip and visit the Dallas one!
ReplyDeleteShala, If you make it to DFW drop me a line. I would be happy to be your tour guide. The arboretum is beautiful and the farmers market is always fun.
