"Planting....."

When Don was in the hospital, his co-workers sent him a basket with a mixture of plants in it. They have gotten larger and it was time that each one or type was re-potted into their own pots.

I love having a greenhouse for just this purpose. Unfortunately, that is one of the few uses we have for the greenhouse. I had hoped we'd be able to start plants in the Spring, but have found it is too cold, due to not enough sun (our backyard is covered by a wide canopy of oak trees) to keep things growing without having a heat source. I have, however, been able to hold over some plants into the Fall for a longer harvest, so I just have to be content with that. ;)


Thia is one of the plants from Don's basket, along with a hanging pot of impatiens. I have 5 pots of impatiens around the backyard. 2 are outside the greenhouse door and the other 3 are on the chicken run fencing.


A cluttered area but functional and comfortable.
