I would like to see this nursery at the height of the season, I bet it's amazing. My visit fell towards the end of December and even though there were empty areas there was still plenty to see.
I noticed signs around the nursery that referred to something called "Bubba Crush"...what was this Bubba Crush I wondered?
Ah! That's Bubba, hanging out in his bunker.
He looks like a nice fellow.
He's even (sort of) smiling for his close-up.
Cats and dogs are common nursery residents, I don't think I've ever seen a nursery tortoise before!

A tortoise does make a strange nursery denizen. Was the rest of the nursery as unexpected?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I kind of blew through quickly as I was running late to meet up with Andrew. It looked to have a nice selection of larger succulents, and (when in season) seemed to be a source for lots of edibles.
DeleteTop points for nursery pet uniqueness!
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteDo you remember what prices were like? Looks very promising.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Gerhard I don't, which is very unlike me. Must have been the hunger kicking in. By now I know enough to pack snacks when visiting a garden, why didn't I?
DeleteSounds like a Harlan County sorta name.
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy.
DeleteThat second picture with all of the firesticks, wow! Great color. Looks like a nice selection of plants. Looks like Bubba is a well - loved fixture of this nursery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I loved that shot too. Makes the "firestick" name really look apt.
DeleteYay for Bubba Crush! We like him. He looks pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI bet he's a hit with all the kids who get drug (dragged?) to the nursery with their parents.
DeleteHaha, this is so funny! I love tortoises and this one lives in an interesting place! I suppose they don´t want to let Bubba wander by himself through the nursery...he might bite some precious plant.
ReplyDeleteOr get a little too much attention from some of the kids. Can't you just see a couple of them decided to try and ride on his back?
DeleteNeat! I love his telephone pole enclosure and his bunker! And now I have another nursery to put on my San Diego 2015 trip list! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou are oh so welcome! I've got a couple more for you too, posts coming up in the future.
DeleteYay!
DeleteI thought Bubba Crush might be some new strain of marijuana.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt you're probably right too.
DeleteWhat a cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he?
DeleteWow, that is an old, old guy.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool. :o)
