I’m doing my spring cleaning……at little late this year. Today I took everything out of the refrigerator and wiped it off with disinfectant wipes, checked sell-by’s. I took out every shelf, inside outside…it’s sterile. Microwave, toaster oven..check. I even steam cleaned the kitchen rug.
Two days ago I cleaned the front porch and took cleaner to the 3 rockers out there. The front porch was spotless. I bought two really large hanging baskets to add to the sides of my front porch and accent the smaller pink and purple flower baskets. I planted several deep-purple petunias in them and hung them up.
I went out to get the mail tonight and what a shock. One of the big baskets was on the porch floor with dirt everywhere and my petunias crushed in the mess. It looks like the chain broke. I bought this deep 16″ basket at Home Depot just a few days ago. You’d think it would have a chain that would be able to hold the potting soil and some flowers. I’m mad. I had to leave the mess for tomorrow because it’s dark. I just hope it doesn’t rain and turn all that soil into mud.

Grrrr! I don’t suppose Home Depot will replace the petunias with the basket.

They probably wouldn’t replace the basket. I’m just going to buy some chain and fix it. Looking at the chain, it is very thin. What were they thinking?! If someone was sitting under the basket on a deck and it fell it could have really injured someone. I so hate cheaply-made stuff. I’ll bet it was made in China.

I am more than sure it was made in China! LOL
