We've been entrusted with the care of these plants while a student is back home for summer vacation. We almost failed with the lilac (?) by leaving in the direct sun for a day or two... The plants seem to be doing ok now though.

NSW Fire ants alert

#Gardening update:
I just harvested a bunch of chicory from our yard (mostly along the side of the house), and I managed to get a taproot the length of my forearm!
However, despite it being evening, and shady on that side of the house, I overheated myself, so I will have to wait to wash the dirt off all the roots.
I also need to re-pot the plants that got blown off the porch in last week's storms, as well as water everyone thoroughly.

38 plants sold. 32 plants left to sell.
These are the ones left to sell. All are #FoodPlants except for 5 pots - which are mixed pollinator flower plants.

Just found the last plant to finish off this grouping of monkey paw and various succulents.

Part of our array of #PottedPlants (mostly #perennials ) at base of steps leading to front porch/door. I have a combo of native & cultivated, edible & non-edible plants in there. Food gardens are in backyard. This year, I'm working on getting better at growing some #Asian specialty food plants👩🌾

Pots and Possibilities
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of dwarf tomato seedlings, must be in want of a pot.”
Just did an inventory of my pots for this year's deck garden. I may need at least one more pot. I have more than are shown but they are even uglier right now.

Next to the wall of a small, timber-framed white house. I love finding those big decorative plants by accident.

Ah! So it did really well to stay alive in that office. Nice that someone recognised a good plant and took it home to care for it.
I feel like that when I see dying potted plants on people's front porches in suburban #Australia. Feel like leaving a note, "I'll leave you something better to put in this pot if you'll let me take this plant home and nurse it back to health."

#Plants #PottedPlants #Gardening We're supposed to have 3 freezing nights in a row. I'm going to bring in the ginger that I'm trying to sprout and maybe the nopal cacti & diffenbachias. And I have 2 pretty purple/sage colored succulents. But even though it isn't supposed to get above freezing on Friday, I think I'll just cover my 60 or so aloe veras.2 layers of cover, and they're bunched together against the walls of my building. They'll be fine, right?

I’m in awe of the blooms on my #ThanksgivingCactus, and the fact that all three of my plants in my room are blooming.

🪴Today is the day I move my shivering potted plants indoors. After an unseasonably warm autumn, night temps will reach freezing this weeekend here in Brooklyn. Most of them make the transition easily, but not so much the oxalis and lavenders. I wish I had a greenhouse to keep them cool…while I and the succulents stay warm and cozy inside. 🪴
