Waterloo Road: Smalltown, America

https://www.elevators.com/fatyeio0o These past few weeks have been early garden planting season.  I’ve been looking for a place closer to home because I’ve normally traveled down to NE OKC, or to Classen and NW Expressway for my seeds and bulbs.  I think there’s something more to be gained, however, from the experience of visiting small business feed stores, lumber yards and farm equipment niches.  I’m just fascinated with all the supplies an owner can cram into one of those stores, and I like being one of the only people shopping.  No crowds = happy me.

  1. https://danivoiceovers.com/iujyhcztx I love going to garden feed stores and loved seeing your photos of a new one. I don’t have much need to go to feed stores but I feel a strong pull every time to park and check out all the possibilities they hold – if I only lived in a different place! I especially love the bulletin boards.

  2. https://purestpotential.com/j9szxqfo76l A. I know the shop at Classen & NW expressway!! Love Horn Seed, my very first garden shop love in fact. But I agree with you about frequenting small, close to home places when possible…
    B. Looks like you found a gem! I loved the basket of “last year’s seeds” 50% off!! LOL
    C. I think you know how excited I am to watch you little victory garden grow this year. Best wishes RDK!!

    xoxo

    1. Marie – I love Horn Seed too! I could get lost in that store – so many possibilities! Thanks for your smiles and wishes! XoXo back to you, RDK
