Thanks for sharing those lovely pictures, Roger! I enjoyed looking at them.
Myrna, I have plenty of year round inside plants too. I have a variety of them and a little lighted stand that some of them get to be on.
I am delighted to say I have finished potting all my iris rhizomes. Better late than never. We've had so much rain recently that I am already on the lookout for rot especially on the ones that haven't had a chance to get rooted good yet (as in just been planted!). And the slugs are starting to show up.
I still have seeds from 27 iris seed pods to plant so that's next. I want to clean up my potting area first though, as I am just set up in the carport. I think I am going to use part of that area to rotate all the pots so they each get time to dry out. That's if we continue to get so much rain. I am going to work on my inventory list so I know exactly what I have and what I have duplicates of.
Of course, now it is time to be raking leaves! I rake and look behind me, and it doesn't look like I rake??? They are falling fast and furious. Some of the trees are so beautiful but if you blink your eyes, it's gone.
So once I finish up outside, I have plenty of "gardening" to do inside, some of which also is way overdue. It is so grey and gloomy for so long that I have surrounded myself with inside plants. It seems to help. The cats like the "jungle" I created "for them."
I have made a lot of progress and the end is in sight, at least outside anyway.
I do prefer the sun to be shining. Rain is fine but when it drizzles all the time instead of just getting it over with then it gets hard to take. Flooding is probably already happening in the lower areas and farms but we had a few hours without rain today and that should help.
Happy Gardening!
