I know that Spring isn't officially here, but I feel like it is and my plants probably feel the same way. The weather has been so nice this past week and I checked the weather and it looks like it should be this way for a while. I've planted some lettuce in our backyard and am getting ready to start propogating some of my plants. In particular, I'm interested in my Dwarf Umbrella Tree that was handed down to me by my sister-in-law years ago. It's definitely rootbound and is ready to be divided and repotted.
My sister and her husband gave me a Pointsetta this Christmas and I'm going to try and grow it rather than tossing it in the garbage like most people do. There is a process in which I will need to wrap it in a black garbage bag in the Fall. I will be so happy if it turns out to work.
Many of my plants are beginning to show new growth which is usually a good sign to me that I didn't kill them. Some of my plants; however, are looking a bit on the sick side. My Prayer Plant seems to be suffering some sort of disease. It has a yellowish-green color when it should be a nice dark green. Strawberries from last season survived, so far. I might be able to squeeze another year out of my Bell Peppers. Flapjacks are looking good. Tomatoes have new growth and like the Bell Peppers, I may be able to squeeze another year out of them. I say this because I have heard of people discarding their plants as soon as their season is over, but I left things the way they were this winter and they came back and am very happy about it.
Anyway, lettuce is on the way in supposedly 45 days. Excited. Oh yeah, and I planted some corn. I'm curious to see what fresh corn tastes like.
