10 Oct 2009Prepared 4 1 Front Yard gardenWell, at least I hope so. I brought in the rest of the plants I didn’t get planted out. I am still behind in the record keeping, but I am swamped with classes and guests until next weekend, so I may not get back data entered. I had to set up two more card tables in my dining room, which is ...Cloudy 3°C / 38°F

The first flower was a fortnight ago on the full moon (9/4), but I was so busy that night I didn’t get a picture.
This bloom caught all of our attention as we go home from circle around midnight. The scent filled the yard, and the flower looked luminous in the ambient light.

12 Sep 2009Repotted 4 2 Spider Plant Potting Up, Spider Plant Potting Up, and Spider Plant Potting UpThanks to fellow folians, I figured out my last conundrum and got holes drilled in my new pots.

Now what? I went out yesterday for wonderful labor day sales and found flower pots. Since the hail storm, I am several pots short, and my insurance company reimbursed me for the loss of about $140 worth of pots. So I thought with the summer clearance type things I would hunt up some nice ones.
