I have been watching the home and gardens channel, something I did not
have back home. It is pretty neat, both for interior decorating and
gardening. I think I may become a tv junkie!
We have had a lot of rain here also. I don't think I can do anything
with the soil in the condition it is in except make clay sculptures.
Maybe I can make my own clay planting pots.
My husband brought home a little evergreen plant someone had at work
for a christmas party and had abandoned on an outdoor picnic table. It
has been there since christmas, but looks like it was a nice plant at
one time. I am going to try to revive it and plant it outdoors. It is
not a norfolk pine. I have seen the type used in landscaping before, so
I will try to use it in the garden.
People complain all the time about animal abuse, what about plant
abuse! I guess I am just more in tune with their "feelings" and
sometimes feel I go over board caring for them. Maybe I am a nut case
but I feel anything that is living has some sort of consciousness. Am I
alone on this or do others feel that way? Ploease make me feel sane.
