There’s something so hopeful about the weather lately — like summer’s not quite ready to give up the ghost. Warm, cool, rainy, foggy, bright, cloudy… honestly, Manitoba has thrown the entire seasonal buffet at us this week.

But until that dreaded frost date arrives (which, let’s be real, could be any day now), I’m soaking up every last bit of it. The flowers still hanging on, the blooming stonecrop doing its cheerful autumn thing, the clematis climbing like it has places to be, and even the daylilies I haven’t had to rename this year.

I’m enjoying the fresh scents, the buzzing bugs, and the tiny hope that maybe — maybe — winter won’t be as cold as I’m bracing for. Here’s hoping.

It will never stop surprising me how quickly seeds sprout up. Every single time.
(And yes — this also happens in spring when I’m out in the garden… except then it’s mostly weeds, and suddenly the whole middle‑ages “miasma theory” makes perfect sense. Sorry, apparently I’m in a rambling mood today.)

But these little sprouts?
These are from the mix Keltie and Emma put together earlier this week — and I’m 100% sure there’s no portulaca or dandelions hiding in here.

And while I can’t tell which seedling is which yet (beyond the peas, obviously), I’m already excited thinking about munching on the end result in the café. Watching them pop up this fast feels like a tiny bit of magic every time.

I meant to get these photos up yesterday… but you know how the best‑laid plans go.

Anyway! Here are a few of the gorgeous new plants that arrived on Thursday:
✨ Fresh pothos in both big and small sizes — and some of those vines are already nearly four feet long.
✨ A Variegated Hoya australis Grande that has me swooning. Pink, cream, and green? My Hoya‑nerd heart is very full. (No room in the house… for now.)
✨ And the Black Velvet Alocasia — yes, I touched the leaves. Yes, they’re as soft as they look. Zero regrets.

New plant days are the best days.

🌿 An itty-bitty heads-up for this Monday! 🌿

This Labour Day, The Green Spot will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2026.

Our team will be taking the day to relax, recharge, and enjoy the long weekend with family and friends. 💚

We'll be back and ready to welcome you on Tuesday, with coffee brewing, plants growing, and plenty of smiles waiting for you!

Have a safe and wonderful Labour Day weekend! ☕🌱

Joke of the Day:
Why did the calendar love Labour Day?
Because it finally got a day off! 😄

Today’s feature is for my fellow plant nerds: the Sweetheart Mayday, a cultivar of Prunus padus — one of the loveliest members of the Rosaceae family. (and it's BIG family)

This beauty produces pendulous racemes of fragrant white flowers in mid‑spring, emerging from soft pink buds (a classic padus trait). Its foliage flushes bronze‑green, maturing to deep green with subtle burgundy undertones as the season progresses.

By late summer, it forms dark purple drupes — beloved by birds, but not recommended for human consumption. Like other Prunus species, the seeds and other tissues contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested. So admire them, feed the wildlife… but don’t snack.

Sweetheart Mayday reaches about 6 m tall with a 3–4 m spread, grows at a moderate rate, and thrives in full sun with evenly moist, well‑drained soil. It’s also impressively tolerant of urban conditions, making it a reliable accent tree for prairie yards and city gardens alike.

A charming, fragrant, wildlife‑friendly tree with centuries of horticultural history behind it — and a perfect early‑September spotlight. 🌿💕

Sure, today might be a little cloudy, but when the sun decides to shine, it shines BRIGHT in here! ☀️

Good thing we've got our adorable new Peepers ready for the occasion. 😎 Even the reading glasses are cute enough to turn heads!

Paired with some stunning mums, they were just begging for a fun photoshoot. 🌼👓💛

👗✨💚 Fashion Friday is here, and this week's Double Points Pick is TRIBAL! 💚✨👗

Now, we could spend all day telling you why we love Tribal...

But we'd rather hear from you!

🌿 Is Tribal your go-to brand? 🌿 Do you love the fit? 🌿 The comfort? 🌿 The styles? 🌿 The pockets? (We all know pockets can be a deciding factor. 😏)

Tell us in the comments:

What's your favorite Tribal piece, and why do you love it?

Whether it's a tried-and-true wardrobe staple or a recent purchase that you can't stop wearing, we want to know!

And don't forget, it's Double Points Friday, so it's the perfect time to add a little Tribal to your closet. 💚

The Garlic finally arrives!!!
Along with a good amount of fall planting bulbs, and something I'm personally pumped about; new mushroom growing kits! Can mention all top fans once a day

🍂📚✨ There's something about the start of September that still screams "new stationery" to me.

Maybe it's a leftover habit from my school days. Maybe it's my natural instinct to hoard pretty paper products and good pens. 🖊️💚

Or maybe it's just an excuse to indulge in a notebook with really nice paper.

Whatever the reason, I stand by it. 😌

That being said...

I may also be experiencing a touch of cute aggression over these adorable fall farm cow stuffies. 🐄🍂❤️

Just look at them.

I am, allegedly, a fully grown adult.

Should I be resisting the urge to bring one home?

Probably.

Is the only reason I haven't because I live with a husky who would absolutely act on her cute aggression and turn it into a very expensive chew toy?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is. 😂🐾

So for now, I'll admire them from a safe distance and pretend I have self-control.

It's going about as well as you'd expect.

🍂🐄📚✨💚🐾
