Tommy took all the plants from the utility room. He did not water or fertilize them all winter. And, there is no window in there. I have not gone out to see how they fared. He said some really grew and some did nothing. So, I wonder.
I had him put a cheap and on clearance tablecloth on the table, the kind of plastic tablecloth sold for kitchen tables. I hope it protects the table some and looks pretty. It is a 70" tablecloth, and the table is 24". Tomorrow, I will look the flowers over. I have a package of Cosmos seeds to sow in a spare pot. I still have not made it to Lowe's to get short carrot seeds.
Once again, I slept almost six hours. I stayed in bed for another three to keep feet from swelling since Tommy was still asleep, anyway.
Tonight, we had hamburgers, fries, and salad. I disliked the sourdough bun, so threw that away. Tommy had a pretzel bun which I don't like, either. Later, I will have Greek yogurt and blueberries.
I need to find someone to put up a watering system for the plants. Irrigation is the way to go because it is too hard on Tommy in the summer heat. I think I want one with a timer. I suppose that is the only kind.
I only have one plant in the house (Devil's Ivy); it's holding up well. It hangs in front of a south facing window in our bedroom. I rotate & water it every other week.

DeleteTiffany,
That's smart. These are all outside plants. You reminded me that I need to get the lemon and lime trees outside from a bedroom.
Your dinner sounds delicious. Sounds like you are enjoying your new bed. I hope you are sleeping better.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteYes, dinner was great. But, I will not eat anymore of the fries. I am sleeping all night instead of all day thanks, I believe, to taking meds in morning. The bed helps so much.
Cosmos are some of my favorites. We plant the Sensation variety in our flower beds yearly. They grow taller than me. I couldn't imagine those in a pot. We also planted the "Seashell" variety last year..a bit shorter, but the petals were so interestingly shaped.
ReplyDeleteMeg,
DeleteMaybe I should rethink the Cosmos in a pot. These were free seeds and Tommy does not want things in the ground. So, I will plant them in a pot and see what happens. Maybe can use a tomato cage to keep them upright.
Meg,
DeleteThese only grow to 36" high.
