Wednesday is the day I water my plants… I have quite a few, lol…

I combine tap water with some banana skin water and wander around the living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and den, with constant trips to the kitchen to refill the watering can…

I have had this watering can forever and have repaired the handle a few times as I enjoy the feel of this one…

seeing all of the blooms on the African violets and orchids, and the lovely purple anthurium blossom brings me so much happiness and makes me smile…

and currently, there are the seedlings that need attention as well…

it is quite a meditative experience and I enjoy the weekly time spent doing this…

been working on the seedling project… this is interesting because I had decided not to start any this year, lol…

not long ago I picked up a grow-light and finally got it up in the den…

for the last few weeks I’ve been collecting toilet paper rolls and cutting them down to be seed containers…

spent time putting them in the bins to keep them together, and filling them with soil…

next will be wetting them down so they will be ready for seeds in a week or so…

getting excited for spring and time in the garden…

lovely day in the garden…

read, ate a delicious chowder from Sentruhl and napped…

did not plant anything, although I really wanted to;-)…

thinking I will start to harden off the seedlings tomorrow… I’ve learned that the plants which are growing in the house need to go out a bit longer each day for a week or two, out of the sun and wind, to acclimatize them for the outdoors…

I see lots of lifting and carrying in my future;-)…

had a lovely afternoon on the deck yesterday…

removed one of the feeding saucers and cleaned the table… that took a long time but it looked shiny when I was done… looks ready for a meal with the boys;-)…

then I sat in the sunshine and read… so lovely…

at the end of the afternoon I brought in the planters which I am going to use to start some seedlings…

looking forward to getting the planting started…

so excited this morning to discover these two little seedlings… they are morning glories…

once I’ve put out the cushions for the furniture, I walk around and check all of the pots that I have planted…

I’d been worried that the morning glories weren’t going to come up… at the same time I also planted some datura in pots in the front yard and they haven’t come through yet… but now I am hopeful that they still might…

we’ve grown both morning glories and daturas for many years… I am looking forward to seeing some this year, particularly as the garden may be the only place I travel to, lol…

most of the dahlias and tomatoes are doing nicely… it looks like a couple of the dahlias aren’t going to make it…

waiting for plants from Shelmerdine to arrive and make their way into the ground… they were a birthday gift from the kids in Ottawa…

I enjoy planting pots and planters but hope to have the items that are going into the ground planted by Hilda the Gardener;-)…
