Welcome to another edition of Fertilizer Friday! I hope you all have lots and lots of flowers to flaunt for me...because I have very little to share anymore since the snow fell and stayed now for a full week!!! yea...I said the "S" word.So...if this is your first visit to Tootsie Time...please feel free to learn how to link in by clicking the link in the menu at the top of the page...I invite you all to join me...I just love looking at your gardens and find so much inspiration from the things you share!
Lets get this party started!
My contribution today is from inside the greenhouse where I have had some very pleasant surprises this week!!!
This is my Jade plant. It has been struggling the last bit...we had bugs...I bathed it...then it got a sunburn...I nursed it...and now it needs a bath as it is full of water stains...so when I went to polish the "leaves"...I was shocked to see...
THIS!!!! IT'S BLOOMING!!!! WOOO HOOO!
It is blooming...and not just a few...a whole bunch! I did the bestest happy dance I know how...but I am sure Gloria would be able to teach us a better way...right mom?
Mandevilla is still going strong! There are lots of blooms opening up...I will show the full feature next week...hey..a girl needs something to host with!!! lol
Rose is almost done..but the color is so pretty...
I salvaged a verbena...and it decided to thank me...smells wonderful too...and then.....I had another big surprise...
Does anyone know what this is?
Yep...those are the seed pods of a spider plant! WOOO HOOO AGAIN!
I posted a while ago about the day I found what I thought was some sort of rodent droppings...and then realized my spider plant had gone to seed...remember??? Well this gigantic specimen is three of those seeds dropped in soil and forgotten for a while....LOOK!!!
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS PUPPY!!! I can't even bring it in the house right now...it is sooo big that it takes up a full 3 foot corner just for the leaves...and it is heavy. I need to pick up some soil and a really great pot...so I can re-pot it and put it on a pedestal somewhere inside!!!Well...that's it for me...now it's your turn...link in and show me what ya got!
Let's get flaunting!!!

I linked my very first FF to you!!! ☺♥☺ diane
And you're really making me anxious for a greenhouse! I had one years ago-I drug in all my geraniums,impatiens, everything.It was so spectacular in January with everything blooming like mad. Sigh.
Oh, and thank you for the info on heating costs for your greenhouse--I know it's going to be expensive, but frankly, I"m getting tired of long trips, and hubby suggested that money could now be used for heating. YEA!!!
Great to see the spider plant. I have a variegated one, and a very low-maintenance plant.
There was something else I was going to comment on but now I've forgotten. Ack!
Oh! The jade. I didn't even know they flowered!
Justine :o )
Have a wonderful week-end.
I have never saw the blooms of a Jade plant so I will be watching for pictures of it when it blooms Tootsie. Wish I would have gotten a red Madeville I like your red one much better than my pink one.Have a great weekend Tootsie.
That spider plant is huge. Are you going to plant all the babies or leave them. I love spider plants.
Great pictures as always.
Have a great weekend.

Have a wonderful day, Ms Tootsie.

OMG...that spider plant is humongous but ohhh sooo pretty! Loved seeing all of your beautiful plants! And...I think this is the first time I've ever seen a Jade plant bloom...totally awesome!!!
Girl, thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my autumn living room...I sure did enjoy reading your note! I bet your winters are really long way up north! Hopefully we both can squeeze a few warmer days out of autumn yet!
Warmest wishes,

I took my spider plant in and planted all the little baby's around it . It's doing so good . You's looks great and your Jade plant also . I haven't had a Jade for a long time , gave it to my daughter .
Take care sweet friend .

I did do a post on spring bulbs today.
Tootsie has bulbs for fingers and she probably can most likely grow rat droppings too... probably in the snow! :D
