Three of the
last four posts have been about new plant purchases.
Make that four of the last five. I swear, I'm almost done buying stuff. (I just spent $30 on seeds for next year; they should be here in a day or two.)
Alright. I have a problem. But look!
Dracaena Cordyline fruticosa "Baby Doll"! (Thanks for the ID,
Mr. Subjunctive! I thought better of Garden District, but now I'm all like "Who you gonna trust? No ones!") Who can look at that and
not buy is for such a cheap, cheap price? And, again, supporting a
good cause so Garden District doesn't have to go all the way out of business.
Everyone loves a new plant purchase. I seem to go through phases. I tend to forget how many plants I get in the summer and then when fall comes there just isn't room for them all in the house. Then in the spring I order a bunch of seed and accumulate plants all summer just to run out of room again.
ReplyDeleteI think my cycle will be a bit different because of the edibles. It seems that late spring/early summer are my high-volume times, because the vegetables are growing. Late fall/early winter has been "Oh, I have so much space because the vegetables have died, what am I going to fill it with?"
ReplyDeleteI think I'm banking on some plants not surviving the next few months so I'll have room for the veggies again in the spring, but only time will tell. I think I have a handle on the spider mites now, so that's the last of the pests (for the moment), and all I have to worry about is light, water, temperature, humidity, and bacterial and fungal infections.
Joy.
Also? Just bought a Sinningia.
