Doing Instead of Writing





Waiting to be potted

All this nice weather, I just can't help myself. Moving wood...spring clean up...and repotting this absurd fox tail fern. I grew it from a seed of the plant we inherited from the boss's mom, who in turn grew it from a seed at least thirty years ago...probably much more.

RIP

It broke the clay pot it was growing in and for a long time I had nothing else to put it in. Then it got warm enough this week to take the plastic off the sitting porch door...and out there were empty flower pots and lots of earth....

The roots

So that job is done. I still need to plant some peppers, somehow find some patterns for painting wooden yard animals. I seem to have accidentally acquired a job painting them.....anybody know a website that has pictures of them....decorative chickens, bunnies, cows, ducks etc.?

I need to re-pot and bunch of plants but it still much too cold out and I'd rather the mess outside than another cleaning job inside. Healthy looking plant!

Linda, wish you lived where I could give you one of these. They will grow to an amazing size and are tough and attractive....they do tend to fill whatever you put them in though.
