On a much happier note the indoor garden is comping along most splendid! Things are really starting to pop up. The little pea pods were very busy over the weekend and almost all of them are as tall as the cover.
I was also able to replant some of the little greens that my son Toby started and took out those that were not growing. That left me some valuable real-estate to put in more tomatoes, cucumbers, and 2 different types of flowers. Very excited to see if these take off as well. I also started a brand new self-watering seed starter kit by Burpee. Nothing planted in that one as of yet due to trying to follow the directions and let the little pods soak in the water first. Hopefully they will be ready to go tomorrow and I will be able to fill them up as well.
Today our Christmas Cactus received a brand new home. She started looking a little sad so I thought maybe she was trying to say "I need a bigger pot for my roots" and sure enough those poor little roots were wrapped very tightly all the way around, so now she will have room to grow! Its been a fun filled planting day!
You had an amazingly productive day. Your plants look fabulous. The bigger the aloe vera leaf the easier it is to work with, trying to squeeze or scoop the gel can be difficult. I massage my leaf then use a knife and run it under the flesh of the leaf very carefully, and that sometimes works well. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It was a busy but fun day! I love planting and garden things! Yes that Aloe Vera is tricky I thought for sure I'd be harvesting loads! Hahaha!
