I left the hubs in charge of
What did I come back to?
Death and destruction.
{before: Lush and Happy }
Dead. Luckly most was bean plants, but my starts from MD were in there too. :( |
Watering plants is not hubbys thing.
AMAZING any thing lived.
Sad house plants, and another grow pot |
Gonna have to cut off all those dead leaves.
I brought another grow box from home, it already had two squash plants (I may or may not keep), green beans, strawberry, pepper, and three starter plants from our trip to WI.
I decided to use this one for starter plants from this area.
Pigeon berry. These do well in our area of Texas.

almost dormant horseherb |
Then when it gets water, it unrolls, fluffs up, and bloom bloom blooms.
Almost right before your eyes.
I've heard of it being used as a ground cover for dog pens, and I know it does well in east Texas.
At home it does well in the sun or shade.
I have two really great places to try it at mom's this fall.
Also, growing wild here, is horehound (gray fuzzy in back).
I mean every where.
I've had these before in east Texas and they do very well.
Three awesome plants I won't have to buy:).
Day three and the horseherb (left) is already fluffing out, pigeon berry (back) not so much.
Guess it will have to shed it's leaves.
Probably a Dumb Cane, Dieffenbachia |
I HATE cut flowers.
Well actually I hate that money was spent on cut flowers when I could have bought a live plant.
All I really ever want from him on holidays is money.
Money to spend where I want, on what I want.
Anyways...
When they were delivered, I was VERY pleased to see this plant!
Different pattern, proven tough,
Good job hubby dear!!!
{don't know WHY hubby was surprised I brought it to the guest house with us,
he should have known I would,
it and the grow pot rode 8 hours to the work site guest house...
along with the two bassets and the chimix!:)
Have a Very Happy Fertilizer Friday!!
