Charlotte is trying to hatch her okra seeds. She became frustrated and later took out her ire on the plant label sticks.

Looking for a veggie and flower garden with All The Answers? Not here today, folks....today's big questions include, "Where do I put this plant I bought on a whim?"

While I was yammering on about my palm tree's life, Charlotte would like you to know that she was planting okra.
She is now sacked out on the deck and thinks I should seed carrots.

Meet Tuesday, the King Sago Palm!
AKA the Palm That Will Not Die (but neither does he wish to thrive).

Meet Tuesday!

AKA "How many ways can one plant not thrive and when does one give up on it, especially knowing the same plant is now sold at the local Wal-mart?!?" (But that title is too long.)

Plants love my greenhouse

If we get a couple rain days, I can w**d the greenhouse!

I LOVE when people question if a plant will grow under trying circumstances.
Yes, it will. Give plant a chance.

I didn't tidy the greenhouse after planting last year. Life got in the way. We now have plants--herbs, veggies, poisonous terrors--happily growing in the gravel floor of the greenhouse.
No, I did not intentionally seed the floor. Most of that gravel is on a solid layer of repurposed roofing shingles and should not support any growth.

Isn't nature beautifully resilient?
