I know that many of my readers have gardens, or plants growing on their balconies and patios. I’ll even go so far as to bet that you get some of your plants and lawn and garden supplies at Home Depot.

If you click on the image that I’ve listed above, you can sign up for Home Depots Garden Club newsletters.

When you sign up for the Garden Club you’ll get information about exclusive offers and receive coupons for items that you might purchase for your garden. Who doesn’t love exclusive deals? I know I love ’em!

You’ll also get gardening news, gardening tips, regional reports and a whole lot more.

I love the idea of getting additional gardening tips, but I’m interested in signing up mainly for the exclusive deals and coupon savings. Check it out for yourself. 🙂

This weeks Theme is Colorful

I haven’t planted any marigolds yet, but I have purchased some. They’re sitting in their little seedling containers just waiting for me to plant them. This marigold is my neighbors.

On mother’s day her family actually did some work in the yard and they planted some flowers for her. A few days later I was out taking photos of my flowers and she insisted that I take pictures of her flowers too. Funny thing is that once I started she wanted me to stop because she decided she didn’t want me to waste my film. Try explaining to a lady that’s almost 90 what a digital camera is!

I truly must be on some kind of orange kick. I have flowers of many colors but I keep wanting to post flowers with orange in them. Even this new theme that I picked out and modified for As the Garden Grows has a lot of orange in it.

Orange is not my favorite color, but for some reason I seem to be very attracted to it in the last while. Odd. I haven’t purchased all my annuals for the garden beds yet … I wonder how many of them will have shades of orange this year?

Over 20,000 types of flooring at DiscountFlooring.com

Once the good weather begins here in my home town I notice a trend. Houses begin to go up for sale, and those that bought new homes begin renovating them, or perhaps those that didn’t sell also begin to upgrade their homes. This activity usually begins in March or April and continues at least until September.

Are you one of the people who are beginning to upgrade or renovate your home this year? Are you thinking of putting in new flooring? If you are, you might be interested in visiting DiscountFlooring.com where you can purchase everything from wood floors to laminate flooring, tile floors, porcelain tile, and even glass floors.

What I like about the site is that you can browse through the site by the type of flooring or tiling that you are looking for, or by brand names. There are thumbnail photos of each type of tile or flooring that you can click on in order to get more information about the product, as well as it’s pricing per square foot.

Discount Flooring lists more than 20,000 different types of flooring and tile products. You can choose from hardwood floors, laminate, cork, bamboo, ceramic tile, grantite, travertine, or glass.

There’s also an article library at Discount Flooring where you can find articles about picking the right flooring for your home, installation guides, and other tips and tricks for designing a room. They also have a service locator, so if you’d like to have your new flooring professionally installed you can use the service locator to find a contractor in your area.

We might install new flooring in our kitchen when we get around to renovating it. I’ve bookmarked this site so that I can browse through the different types of flooring when the time comes to decide what we’re doing with our kitchen. I suggest that you also bookmark the site if you have renovation plans in your future.
