leafy company is good company
Wow, already day 6 into the new year! I hope '09 is off to a good start for you.
Been working behind the scenes here on my new web site! It's really close to being "done" (my web site is always a work in progress, the beast!) and I'll announce when the new-do is up and running.
I've put some plants in my studio and it changes the whole vibe. There is hardly any empty surface space (as one could imagine) so I shuffled some things around to make room. There are 2 large windows; one always has a curtain down cos it faces the neighbors, the other window faces our backyard and gets nice light.
The 'self-watering' pot is ingenious! Why don't they make all pots this way? I got it at the Home Depot, and the plants too. That's a 'lipstick' plant I think. She was propagated a few years ago from clippings off a huge hanging plant that was dying... so she lives on! I love propagating plants, you can get an indefinite amount of plants from just one. My friend has a spider plant 'ancestor' from a spider plant her brother planted for a school project like 30 yrs ago.
Nothings says "winter time" like tropical indoor plants, cranked up humidifier and Hawaiian records. That's what I like to do.
What do you like to do during the 'nesting' months? Any resolutions for the new year?
Peng Peng I admore your patience with indoor plants, I kill all mine, or the pets do. I leave my gardening outside. I am feeding the wild birds, and today they were waiting for me to fill the feeder, since we had snowfall last night, making foraging difficult. Pam

Hi PengPeng...a room is not a room without a plant! hahaha My house is loaded with them...too many maybe. I gave several of them baths yesterday and had to put a few of the bigger trees in the shower as they are way too big for the sink! Enjoy your greenery! And i can't wait to see your new site!
ReplyDeleteHi Peng Peng, I like to make soup and herby dumplings , homemade bread and buns during the nesting period. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLove the story about the spider plant!
