Although it was not big, the new Farmer's Market at Tagawa Gardens in Centennial was well supplied with interesing vendors.

I got what I went for: Tomatoes, Peaches and Zucchini.

From there my plant buddy, T1inkerbell, and  I proceeded to go on to Timberline Gardens.

I should have taken a picture of the $1.00 table but the plants there looked a bit sad, although had I taken time there might have been some hidden treasures.

I did get a snap of the sempervivum area.  I saw several of which I did not know the names.  Again perhaps a hidden treasure or two, but I had promised myself I would buy no more until I had cared for and wintered over the ones I have.

I will no doubt regret it later.

They have an extensive shade area.  I could have shopped for hours there but restrained myself, I do not have 1/2 acre or more to plant.

They had some nice pieces of Hypertufa and another area of "real" rock hollowed into wonderful containers..  I thought the Hypertufa was pricey, but the real rock was even more so.  I know that they rocks are worth their price but .....

 

Lynn this one is a picture of the sedum area.

And now for a mystery plant.. Any guesses.  I will give it a day or so then put it on the plant ID forum

We did see black clouds rolling over the metro area.  Some areas must have really gotten a good soaking.  Once again however my area got almost nothing.  Maybe 5 minutes of spitting rain.  Boo hoo.

we will plan another treasure hunt after the 1st of August when many more gardens put there product on sale.
