Cheaper than a Greeting Card

I went to the dollar store to look for a nice thank you card for one of my neighbors and found this instead:

Here are some other flowering live plants they had as well:

All These Cost Only $5

Also,it is raining, so I keep peeking out to see if the little tent I put over my new raised planter is holding up.   

I went out this morning to stack more bricks under the corners of the glass platform, but no sooner had I put stakes in the planter and thrown the pictured drop cloth over them than it started raining.   So I anchored the plastic with bricks, hoping that it doesn't tear, as my little green babies are yet too small to be pounded by the wet stuff.  Also I should have put a 40" x 40" board between the brick base and the glass because if the soil gets saturated from a heavy rain, the weight might be too much for those glass shower doors to support.  I did put plastic stakes under the corners as a temporary measure.
