Latest Batch From

 my tinny Tomato patch


Meet the patch.

Not that one, that is a mere spec of a patch. Yee ole Everglade tomato, the tomato

that keeps giving and giving, if you know what I mean. This volunteer may still

have a future after all, as long as I move it to a more suitable location.

 


 The hardest working tomato plant in the neighborhood.

 

Here are literally our fruits of our labor,  second batch this season, four in total.








Repotting Pot Shuffle

 Hmmm....where do I begin to describe this dance. Perhaps just as it happened.

There's preparation, a gathering of tools, sometimes not in that order.

I have two dramatically different sized potted specimens. Both could benefit 

from each other's pot.


First lets take the White Orchid tree that transferred from that black inverted

pot that it is sitting on and the tan pot is what the Avocado tree was in.

The Orchid Tree got the best of this pot shuffle due to having more room

to grow into. Sometimes a little more thought could have benefited

both pot bound specimens, but hey, they will both be happy with what

they got.

 

I just notice looking at this picture and it looks like this potted Orchid

Tree has a most peculiar black angler shadow from another dimension.


Now this Avocado Tree goes from one stuffed put into another but at least it

has more room at the bottom of it's new old pot that the potted Orchid Tree

was perched on and had grown it's tap root, if it even has one into this 

rich soil that laid fallow for little over a year, which will come in handy

to help infill for the Avocado Tree's pot shuffle.


 


 

Sorry ole Avo, would have

given you a bit more rooting

room but I will make up for it

with some extra food in the 

future, once you get through 

the shock and all from being

repotted.


You  got this.

Camiellia Cameo


    Need I say anything else?


This Tomato Plant Walks Into A Bar

 ber Shop and they asks for the usual. Barber asks, just to clarify, it's been awhile

since a Tomato plant needed a trim...

 


 

 


 Barber knows the protocol when it comes to Tomatoes and rushes to pick up the 

clippings knowing that he will be able to start new plants and to not offend his client

that he and his family loves to eat tomatoes.

 

Barber waves to the Tomato as they exist his shop.

My Winter Goliaths

 

                                                                          

 Twice now...I was stopped in my tracks when I first saw these little sprites popping their heads

out into this slow time in my urban garden.

Look Who Dropped In


 My indoor props garden gets a visitor of unbelievable beauty.

 

 

Don't let that three foot trailing arch of tiny orchid blooms fool ya. As delicate it may look

it was taking a beating of wintery bluster and saw no point in hasting it's flower's demise

and brought it in to see how my pampered props live and gives the orchid time to 

show them how this orchid lives.

 

Take notes props.
