Kirk Powell's Place

 I went to Harrison Saturday. I saw this.

It looks like he built it himself, rusty tin and all.

Greg's tomatoes.

Alittle rain, a lot cooler

 

I walked at dawn this morning. It sprinkled on me a little, but I persisted and did not melt.

It was much cooler today. I sat in the swing in comfort.

I transplanted my silver falls plant into a smaller pot hoping to make a house plant of it this winter. Not sure it will make it. There was very little root left after I got it out of the big pot. Worth a try anyway. 

And repotted the creeping Jennie. Got more root with this. We will see.

Back to work tomorrow. Our 4 day weeks are over. Two lines even ran Saturday. I am only working 4 hours on Fridays from now on. And, I am no working Saturdays at all. So there.

Christmas Plants

 I am preparing plants to give to the people in our group at work. I need about 15 plants. I have been buying dishes and other things to use as pots for the plants. Here is some of what I have so far.

I am starting a spider plant in this. The pot was 75 cents, plate $1.50 @ dollar tree.

A $ Tree cup with a yellow purslane plus honey bee stuff. I started the purslane last week from a cutting. It already has a yellow bloom.

Some more starting. I need extra because not all will thrive.

This is some succulent cuttings in a vase I have had for a long time. This one i am going to keep. It will have to stay as a house plant. The vase is not something I would want to put outside.

Glory be!

 

The year of potted plants

 

I love new plants, but since I do not take care of the yard anymore I am not planting any more yard plants. I bought a lot of potted plants for my new porch. My very favorite is the succulent container in the back here. It has over a dozen different succulents. The black pot in front with the purple purslane had to be repoted today because the it's pot blew over and broke last night. 

Every year I give small presents to the dozen or so people in my group at work. This year I am giving plants again. Today I potted some cuttings from my collection. 

I will have to have several extra started cause sometimes they do not do well. And, sometimes I decide I don't want to part with them.
