I had some fun with today’s video because the new seed introduction reminded me of a NFL football player name! So today’s video is somewhat sports-themed.

The color on this new seed introduction is fabulous. And today’s 25 Days of Burpee Advent Calendar video has some special music playing in the background: I had just purchased Amy Grant‘s new Christmas album and had it playing in the background while I was planting my Crescent Garden planters, and forgot to turn it off for the video. A special treat for you!
Oh yeah! This flower lady is pretty excited about today’s seeds!
On the 7th day of Christmas my true love said he’d give to me

On the 5th day of Christmas my true love could give to me
Five Golden Shadows Dogwood trees! These compact dogwoods are like sunshine in a shady moist garden area, with white blossoms in the spring, dark blue berries in the fall. I use them in my fall/winter containers because of their beautiful form.
On the fourth day of Christmas I hope my true love gives to me –
Four Corona Tools that I’ve been needing for my gardening endeavors:
Long Reach Cut’n’Hold Pruner – these would be wonderful for pruning and dead-heading windowboxes and hanging baskets.
On the third day of Christmas my true love might give to me
P Allen Smith and Mimi san Pedro at Moss Mountain Home with Allen’s heritage chickens |
On the second day of Christmas my true love should give to metwo sets of Barbara Sanderson‘s glass artwork for the garden.

On the first day of Christmas my true love should give to me (thus begins my online Christmas gift list for those of us who are unashamedly plant nerds):
A Garden Girls gift certificate!

Flattering overalls:
Practical essentials:
So for the first day of Christmas, I want my garden attire to be as fashionable as well as practical.
