We are having highs of 90 F and above. I know it is not permanent. It is still about three weeks until our average last date of frost.
I am moving my houseplants outdoors anyway.
If I need to cover them some nights, I certainly...

While hubby went to the VA ER I cleaned and cooked. One of the things I made was home made granola. It seems like ages since I have done that, like maybe two years.
I used molasses and maple syrup for sweetener, coconut oil for...

April 15 is the average last day of frost here. After that it should be safe to put out houseplants.
I took two out anyway this weekend. I am just so ready for them to be outside.
So I took an asparagus fern out as it is pretty...

Do you like houseplants? I love them. But right now, I don't have much room for many. I have a Ficus, peace lily, snake plant, spider plant, and two porthos which back in my early years were actually called philodendron. I...

I used to collect clowns, figurines of clowns, etc. I had to give them up due to downsizing a few decades ago. Now I collect mixed media supplies, paints, etc., houseplants, vinyl record albums (most were my mom's), and a small...

Right now I collect mostly art supplies that work for mixed media art. I don't have room for collecting even those things. In the past I have collected clown figurines, houseplants (I still have a few), always writing paper...

There are tunnels throughout the bits of wood from the cedar tree that I am cleaning up. They were made by carpenter ants.
These carpenter ants do not know where to go with their tree down. They are hiding under bits of the...

Looking at the forecast for the next ten days, we will have a night or two in the 40's F. Not cold enough to freeze anything.
I began doing some repotting and cleaning up of plants to bring them in for the winter. For a change I...

It's feeling like fall outside so Pretty and I have brought in the houseplants we've got room to keep in the house this winter.
Do you live in a country where you have to bring plants in when it starts getting too cold for them...

Locally April 8 is supposed to be our last danger of frost.
Let me tell you, this year that is not the case.
All this week we will have freezing temperatures overnight.
I brought in all of my houseplants. I did not put many out...

Among the other things I did yesterday, I was able to go to one of my favorite plant nurseries and get a variety of herbs. It is cloudy and overcast, so it will be a good day to get things into the ground.
At school we had the...

I've been lax this summer on watering my houseplants. I've already thrown one away that got top heavy and fell out of its pot. Knowing I didn't have the time or inclination to repot it I got rid of it instead.
Doing customers...

I have much more energy in the morning than in the evening. I came here last night and could not think of a thing to say. Honestly.
I have a few minutes before work. I shall use that time to take the last of my houseplants...

All day I've been periodically looking out the window in hopes of seeing rain. We've had a thick blanket of dark clouds all day and it has looked like it was about to start raining at any moment. But so far we have not had so much...

I walked up to the grocery store this morning, partly because I wanted to get out and moving and partly because I wanted to grab something quick and easy for breakfast. On my way to the produce department, I stopped to look at...

I wondered how all you plant-lovers deal with pests.
I seem to be waging a never-ending war of attrition against pests on...

I got this crazy idea a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to try and grow a Sweet Potato Vine because they are suppose to be so pretty. The sweet potato I had on my table had started to grow little sprouts from the eyes. I thought...

I have always loved houseplants but they aways die on me. Right now I have 3 plants and I've had them for over a year which is amazing to me! Sometimes I look over at them and will see a couple of dead leaves so I pinch them off...
