@Phaedra , have you ever watched, "Top Hat."? It is their Best film together, IMHO.

Happy Birthday, Baymule!!! :hugs

Finishing coffee as I complete my prep for a Sellers Package today. I needed a hot drink to get the crap out of my throat. Happy Wednesday/humpday/garbage pick up day, all!! :love

UPDATE: Waterless Amayllis is now repotted and living happily by the sink, where I can keep an eye on it. Not the prettiest pot, but it's clay and new and isn't cracked, and has a drainage hole. What more could a waterless amaryllis ask for?!?!?

Here are the new roots on the Amayllis, that is still "waterless." It is Satisfying to save a plant that really wants to live. It isn't a pretty pot, but it Is new, and clay and it now lives next to the l s of the sink, so that I will remember it.

Coffee was great this morning! Had to go to a 7AM physical therapy appointment yesterday morning. I left at 6:25, thinking, "Man, I Don't want to be late!" So, I pull in to the parking lot. It is 7:02AM. My therapist is outside bc the door is locked and he had to call somebody to open it...

Repotted the Amaryllis. The roots grew a LOT while in it's temporary pot. I started a 72 cell starter tray with Better Boy tomatoes. Wasn't sure about the seeds that I saved, so I bought 2 packages of Burpee hybrid seeds since DH thinks all good tomatoes are red. I started a 26 cell starting...

Like above the filters won't break down quickly. Is the point that cigarettes will not decompose quicky, or thrown out cigs don't hurt the environment? I have posted that I have found wood shavings, certainly more palatable, from used stall bedding at the bottom of a pile NOT decomposed after 5...

This year my peppers are tiny, BUT, last year, before transplanting, I had my sweet peppers in potting soil in 2 inch pots in a fish tank sitting in 3 inches of water constantly, under a gro light and the fish tank was on top of a heat mat. The water was warm and they loved it. They love water...

Sorry to hear that! :hugs The more I garden, the more I am convinced that you gotta have them established in the ground for them to survive cold temperatures.

Family aloe, that shrunk down to almost nothing and the cat tried to kill it! is doing well. It is on a ledge next to the south facing kitchen window. Poor soil, the toothpick is in there to help drainage, the "pot" is a small candle holder from Christmas. Surprisingly, it is right next to he...

"Waterless" Amaryllis update. It has been in the small, plastic "temporary" pot for several weeks now. Not much soiil, and I am keeping it watered. It lives on the kitchen window ledge, south facing Full sun, and doing very well. Perhaps I will check the roots and repot early next month.

I only got one photo of the tulips on my front beds, 2024. I was busy and strong winds brew off the flowers, but that was timely. It has been several years since I revigorated these beds, but the tulips are in tight and I need to dig and replant some of them elsewhere this year. Enjoy!

I am Sure you never get as hot there as We do in the summer. One year, when I had a flock that was laying a lot of eggs, I was keeping them on the counter. I only AC the LR/DR, and there is a door, so the kitchen is hardly Ever AC'd. Temperature was in the high 90s. Many eggs exPLODED! :gig

When I posted about my volunteer Redbud a few of you wanted to see it, in flower. Apologies for the late evening photos. It is over 10 ft tall now, doing strong, Probably planted by some bird. I Wish it wasn't right on the property line. The trash is all my neighbor's, to the south, btw. I...
