Growing Things

As spring approaches, I looked around the house at the plants, bathed them all and added enriched dirt,(potting soil, egg shells and fruit rinds), readying everything for the warm weather. Thought I would take some photos to preserve the moment.

The big ficus loves that spot.

This is the original Christmas cactus and the plant David and Betsy got me when I got here last year. I don't remember the name, but I think it is some sort of lily.

Maryke and Jeremy left these two at the house, and they are doing very well.

The little trees love the morning sun in this window.

Bill gave me a seed catalog, and I am on fire to plant the garden outside. Things were not nearly as expensive as I had guessed, and I am excited. I made a drawing of the yard and went over it with Bill, just to be sure he didn't feel like I was taking over, even though I am, hehehe.

The blog will no doubt be dominated with the boring progress of my vegetables and flowers, and I am thrilled. Gonna do some yard clean up today, so look for the before pictures very soon. Have a great day!
