Fertilizer Friday: 7/6/12

I have been away from this house 3 weeks.
I left the hubs in charge of loving caring watering my plants.
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.  :(  
Boo Hoo. 
Watering plants is not hubbys thing.  
AMAZING any thing lived. 


Sad house plants, and another grow pot
 Most the homeowner's house plants were laying down, and after a good soaking they stood up.
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.

 
 LOTS of horseherb. 
from: www.catnapin.com


almost dormant horseherb
 Here, in west Texas, this is an awesome shady ground cover.  When it gets regular water, it is glossy green, prostrate, soft on the feet, with tiny little yellow blooms.  During dry times it rolls up and waits for rain.
 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.  


 These babies were inside, and like I said, amazingly survived...whew.


 The homeowner has been watering the garden, and it is looking good. 

Probably a Dumb Cane, Dieffenbachia
Back in June, while I was at mom's, the hubs surprized me with a flower deliverly,
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!!

Happy Birthday Aaron!!!

Aaron's birthday was last Friday, April 09, 1985!

I met my step-son Aaron right at his third birthday 21 years ago.
From the get go I was amazed at his outlook and determination.
In middle school Aaron decided what track he wanted to be on, and has, in true Aaron attitude, followed it gun ho!
Go, Aaron, conquer the world!



Happy 24th Aaron!!!




Love ya man!
