Indoors

 


Success! Only one cutting from the Money plant/Crasularia didn't take, so now we have 22 small plants to give away!! The mother plant needed a trim and Pirate insisted that the bits were used.

There are a couple more succulents that have decided to multiply, so when we can  sort them....in other words when it gets a bit warmer....they will get potted up too.


Pirate is getting enthusiastic about house plants, but we don't have decent wide windowsills. A decision must be made as to where to grow them!! Maybe a corner with a light source? LED lights wouldn't take much power...

Himself is improving slowly, but isn't happy at the prospect of not over exerting himself for a few months...as he says, losing one season when you are forty or fifty isn't too bad.

However at nearly 83, he is deservedly a bit grumpy about it!!

Still positive today, but only a pale line this time. We will hope for no line in two day's time.

I have been slowly making sense of paperwork, getting files into accessible places.

Archive personal matters have just been left. I know I went through them a couple of years ago, so I don't need to face that again, yet!

What I am aiming at is making artwork accessible and having a place to work that I can go to with no fuss. I need to get back to selling so that I can afford to do more and to develop what I do. If I have to reorganize a space every time I need to do something that does not work.

So far this is going in the right direction for printing, computer work and gardening.

Archive pots and collection are heading for the pot shed. Out of the way!

Wardrobe needs to be weeded again. I have started just putting things in a large box and I am looking forward to Pirate joining in on that one!!

Its surprising what you can get on with when the weather turns back to winter!!

That's an impressive haul of little succulents. We went to IKEA the other day - first time in about ten years, so not a favourite outing. But I was very taken with some of their house plants. I didn't buy one. I have one with red, spear shaped leaves and curious white things like flowers or pods. It lives happily in a jam jar full of water, but its parent lives equally happily in a pot that very rarely never gets watered. I wish I knew what it was called.

I suppose it's good to make progress indoors, but outdoors surely beckons.

Hmm...that's intriguing Jenny..have you a photo on your blog?

Joanne we don't have snow here..yet...but there is snow elsewhere here.
At present it's cold wet and windy. Outdoors can wait a bit!!

My sister uses a wheeled wire kitchen shelf rack with grow lights. In the summer, the plants can be wheeled to the deck or porch.

Jade plants are so much fun to plant and watch grow. Had one years ago and got many starts from it, but then ...something happened and it didn't make it. Yours look nice and healthy.

Sounds like you're making good headway with your organization.

House keeping and gardening, never done.
