Watering Day . . .

Everything that has come up is doing well.  Better every day.  It's not going to rain again till Friday so I went ahead and watered.  My miniature rose is doing amazingly well, blooming a pretty bloom.  I hope it thrives.  It does look healthy although two small sections have succumbed to a fungus.  But it's still full and blooming.  I am still going to plant all that I planned to, as soon as I find all the seed if they still exist.  I've not come across the hen and chicks but hopefully I'll find them soon.  Still going to plant the shasta daisies and forget me not around the bottlebrush.  It's hot outside though.  Going to be upper 80s today and the heat is heavy already.  We'll see though I am trying not to be such a wimp this summer.

Half Productive Afternoon

I was able to plant my Datura, those that arrived, that is.  I planted all 10 seed in one large container.  That's what the instructions said.  I got 3 of my sweet banana pepper in pots and my  jalapeno before I ran out of soil.  I thought of and am still thinking of planting my forget me not around my bottlebrush, I think that would be lovely.  And they'd likely come up there every year.  And spread I'd hope.  I have some hen and chick seed somewhere I'm going to try to find them and get them planted in a terracotta planter I have out there, and I want to plant my bellpepper now, I just need to find soil for them.  I think I can salvage some out of pots that are out there.  Little later though, I'm tired now.

I'm Encouraged!

I'm pretty sure I'm recouping two closet plants that I figured perished, both are releafing beautifully, my ivy is leafing out I'm doubly pleased with that, my begonia is doing really well, though one pot of it never came back out.  Still could though.  My pink arrowhead ivy I THINK is coming out I'm pretty sure it is just needs time to come up and be properly identified.  But I'm so thrilled for the closet plants coming out, one of them I tossed the roots because I was sure they had died, then they starting leafing out on the ground.  I put them back in the pot and they have made a little plant.  Neat!  Going out now to get pictures!

I've Got A Garden!

Assessing what I have left I have:
Three pots of Begonia
A pot of Hawarthia
I think my Norfolk Pine may survive
My Bletilla Orchid is AWESOME
Mother's Christmas Cacti
I bought a yellow miniature rose
My Bottlebrush is doing great
My Persimmon is doing great
Mother's pear and peach trees are faring
Fig tree is leafed and already bearing


(sigh)


So I have things to care for and of course will get more stuff as time goes on I just can't help myself.  Hopefully this year I'll get that greenhouse.  We'll see.  I'll think of something in the meantime :)
