How Does Your Garden Grow?

I just came across this great site to help plan and maintain your garden:  Sprout Robot (sproutrobot.com)

You simply type in your zip code and they will tell you how and when to plant the food you want to grow!  It is free to join and receive email notifications, or you can sign up for a fee to have seeds sent to you when their season comes around.

You can also specify Patio Garden, Small Garden, or Family Garden as well as either container or plant bed things to grow.

Give it a try!

House Plant Replant

With family coming for Thanksgiving dinner, I need to get my house ship-shape, so today I decided to re-pot my house plants in the hope that they will spruce the place up!  I also bought a couple of "as-is" plants from IKEA for $2 for a little extra green.

These hadn't been re-potted since the housewarming party three years ago!

This plant was so droopy.

I used some small branches and raffia to help perk it up and give it some height.

Can't beat a $2 deal!

I painted a basic terracotta pot for the Elephant Foot Palm, the Lucky Bamboo went into an old pot from the garage.

I am really happy with how they turned out - I just hope they don't die before next Thursday!
