Glorious Compost Monday
Comments (3)Good for you and congrats on excellent compost and fabulous leaf hauls. BTW I believe 'hummus' is a Middle Eastern bean dip, whereas compost is 'humus'. Their functions are not interchangeable. LOL...See MoreLotsa Hosta - Now the BIG haul!
Comments (14)Lint Catcher! Now that's a thought. Now I know spots in my yard that Deep Blue Sea probably better not go. I have a couple of messy trees, one of which is always dropping stuff in my birdbath. Thanks for posting the pic. That dark blue makes an awfully nice mix with the other colors :-) No, the mini's won't go in a trough. I've already got a mini-bed part way planned. Right now, so many of my minis just aren't displayed to best advantage, so I was already planning a mass move before I brought this batch home. I have this tree that kind of sits up on a hump. There's nothing around it at the moment, and it's a nuisance to mow around because of the unevenness, with the way the ground slopes down and all. I'm planning a very low cement retaining wall to match the one on the street side of the shade garden in front of my house, all planted with miniature to small size hostas and maybe a few other low growing plants, like the creeping jenny that we had such nice pics of in a post a week or so ago. I hadn't thought of it until just now, but it would make a gorgeous combo with low growing ruby toned sedum like that in my pics above. And maybe even a few small to mid-sized stones... a mix of some dark greyish stones (not sure what kind) and maybe some of that pinkish/purplish granite. You have just started a thought process that I think is going to transform that new mini-bed into something really special. Thank you :-) Hopefully, I'll get going on that in the next week or so, and will have pics to share soon!...See MoreThe big haul ...
Comments (9)I keep my collection potted and on baker's racks on a covered porch. They get full morning only sun and indirect sunlight the rest of the day. They all seem happy enough. This year, I am going to begin acclimating the spiny cactus to full all day sun ... Hopefully, some will bloom for me. I'll just have to keep them on a tray and be ready to pull them in when it rains. So far, only this gymno and these two colors of Schlumbergera truncata have bloomed for me. I miss seeing all my colors of TC and CC bloom. They require a cold period to set bud but it never goes under 68 overnight here, and only in Jan / Feb. Maybe they'll acclimate over time. I hope to see some of the ones I acquired in this swap bloom in the coming years ... They apparently do in this climate. Maria Elena...See MoreThe Big Haul - Part 2
