Cactus --from seed! Can anyone advise me?

This pot was planted on a whim two years ago! I had no idea that Cactus was such a slow growing plant! At any rate...I am super proud to introduce to you the prickly pot that I planted with my own little fingers...

Yea...I watered it and it droops for a day or so....but....the real question here is.....should I be transplanting these? Should I leave it alone? When I re-pot...should I separate?

I am scared to do anything to this little cactus garden....for fear I will kill them. Please help me! I am no expert in all things prickly.....and I usually kill the store bought cactus that I pick up here and there......so I am asking....does anyone know? I am quite certain that one of my fellow bloggers from the wildly informative and entertaining publication..." A Succulent Life" Julie will know EXACTLY what I need to do....maybe I better go get her!......oh...yea...thanks for stopping by...if you have any advice for me....please....be my guest gardener for today!

The 411 to Help Avoid the 911 (psst....Gollum....this is for you too)

Who here has a Poinsettia in their house right now? Can I see a show of hands? I thought so....did you get one from the Greenhouse Diaries lady? lol If you have not seen this blog...run! there are photos of my dream greenhouse there...and LOTS of poinsettias!

I have some tips for all you plant lovers....

First, let's do away with two myths.
First: Poinsettias are NOT poisonous. Although you wouldn't want to eat one, you can feel safe in their presence. Feel better now? Please do not go out and eat one on purpose though...you could have a tummy ache!
Second: What we enjoy on poinsettias are not the flowers, but the brightly colored bracts. The bracts are actually modified leaves. The true flowers are those wimpy little knobs in the center of the bracts. So when we talk about "bract color" just think "flowers." Did you know that? I did..lol

I also learned something while making this post...Poinsettia is the correct spelling....not POINTsettia! (yes I am naturally a blonde!)
So...now that we have that out of the way...lets talk about how to keep that pretty leaved Non -poisonous plant alive for the holidays! woo hoo! plant talk....lets get busy!

LISTEN UP GOLLUM!!!!! LOL

-Make sure you give your Poinsettia plenty of light to keep it strong and healthy and growing.

An east facing window is a good idea.

-They like a normal room temp. Too warm and your plant will age very fast (too warm would be over 80F) Too cold - such as a cold draft from a window or open and closing door will do damage as well- don't forget to use that plastic sleeve when you transport them from the car to the house if temperatures are below 50F!

-Watering is essential to any plant, but you should only water when the soil feels dry to the touch, BEFORE the plant is wilting (that was for Gollum). Do NOT allow the plant to sit in water for more than 30 minutes if you water from below...or if the water runs out of the pot...this will cause root rot to set in and your lovely holiday plant will be dead before you can say Merry Christmas! (again Gollum...are you here?). When Watering....watch the decorative foil wraps or plastic pot covers that come with many poinsettias -- these wraps often trap excess water( and some will leak and ruin your furniture or floor). (that was for me) lol

I had a question in my comment box about Christmas Cactus...so here is the best I can do to help....I admit...I am not an expert on this plant..if you want a succulent expert go to this blog. It is called A Succulent Life I am willing to bet...that ALL of your questions will be answered by our sweet Julie if I can't help you here!

Okay..enough of that...lets get to business!

-These Cacti bloom in white, pink, red, purple, violet, and yellow. Their flowers will last up to a month! This plant will bloom year after year, as if on a schedule, just in time for Christmas - which is how they got their name! Their cousins bloom each year at Thanksgiving or Easter time. These succulent plants can life for many years- decades even-, and become hand me downs between families and friends.
BUT HOW DO WE CARE FOR THEM?

-Provide bright, indirect light, and high humidity (putting it on top of a forced air vent is not a good idea-I know...I have done my fair share of "decorating" in spite of the plant).

-Allow the soil to dry between watering- but don't wait for the plant to collapse!

(I water and feed weekly in the summer "Fertilizer Friday misses no plant here")

-Cut back on food in fall. Move plants to a cool (60-65 degrees F) room where plants get at least 12 hours of darkness every night until buds form. OR- if you are like me...wing it...and it will bloom when it is good and ready! I always seem to have blooms at different times of year...I don't have time to move plants around...especially if it looks really good in that certain spot!

So there you have it...my holiday plant knowledge (with a little help from a book or two....lol)

No 911 necessary!

Oh yea...I never have a poinsettia anymore....I am a pro at murdering them almost immediately! That is just so insulting to me to have a healthy plant die within hours of my touch...that I gave up! My dad has a huge one that he does nothing in particular to...and it is about 5 years old! go figure!

Okay Gollum! You are scaring me!

Okay my girl... I will tell you straight up....I know that if I were to buy a 9 foot tall ficus here it would cost me a LOT of money. I also know...that in the head of this crazy plant lady...bigger is better....and would not dream of cutting that beautiful baby back. Now that I have that out of my system...I will reveal to you what I have uncovered in my search for the perfect thing to tell you.
I have had ficus benjamina in the past...when we moved to this house...the young guys that were helping us, accidentally destroyed mine, and the poor thing could not be saved. (Yes they were terrified to tell me) lol
My ficus plants have always succumbed to either neglect or too much attention. They will tolerate a lot...and even a mild hair cut is not the end of the world. I am actually eyeing up a ficus benjamina at the local garden center...but need to find room in my jungle first.
Do be sure to wear gloves when you cut this plant....and put a drop sheet under the area...they will bleed white sap. That sap will leave you with a nasty rash and could damage your floor if you are not careful. No worries....the plant will not bleed to death and you should not require any band aids!
I found this article and thougth it was one of the best I had read on this topic. I hope it will help you in your pruning job. I do worry that my advice will end up being the death of your beautiful tree...so I am forwarding someone else's....does that count?
If that doesn't count....let the record show....TOOTSIE WOULD NOT CUT THAT TREE BACK....SHE LIKE'S THEM BIG! lol but if you insist...follow what this guy had to say!

Ficus Trees
by William Creed
October 14, 2001

No indoor plant is more popular than the tree-like ficus benjamina. And no indoor plant is a greater source of agony than the ficus benjamina. It is commonly called "weeping fig" because it is in the fig family and the branches hang down in a weeping manner. I think there is more to this nickname than that. Weeping fig sheds leaves (tears) so easily that it causes many owners to cry out in despair! More ficus trees are discarded prematurely than any other indoor plant. Why is that these trees that look so gorgeous in the plant shop seem to fall apart so quickly at home? And why do I claim that ficus benjamina is the hardiest and most long-lived indoor plant that you can own? Read on.

The Problem Is Light
Ficus trees MUST have lots of sunlight. If you don't have a nice, largely unobstructed sunny window to locate a ficus tree, than you had best select another plant. There are dozens of houseplants that thrive in areas beyond the reach of the sun's rays, but the ficus is not one of them. The leaves on ficus benjamina are unusually light sensitive. New leaves are suited for the light level they receive at the time they emerge. If that light level changes subsequently, then many of those leaves will drop off. Replacement leaves are adapted to the new light level. For this reason, ficus trees are notorious for dropping leaves every time they are relocated. They go through a process called acclimatization, which means they must adapt to any change in light intensity. These trees are usually grown outside in warm climates in full sunlight. The better nursery growers move them into shaded areas for 6 weeks before they sell them so that the trees will have an easier time adapting to the lower light levels inside the home. Unfortunately, many growers skip this important step and the result is that the trees have a much more traumatic adjustment to go through after they are sold.

What To Do With Your New Ficus Tree
It is common and even expected that ficus trees will shed lots of leaves when they are moved to a new environment. Although you can't stop the leaf loss, there are some things you can do to ensure that lots of new replacement leaves appear in due time.
Don't add to the trauma by repotting. Wait until the acclimatization is complete before repotting.
Give your new ficus as much direct sunlight as possible. A south-facing window is best. After it has acclimated, you can move it to a less bright location, such as a north window, if you prefer.
Water the rootball thoroughly. Make sure the soil is packed in tight around the circumference of the pot so the water doesn't just run right through without soaking the rootball. Water again thoroughly when the surface soil feels dry.
Don't fertilize it until it has finished adjusting and is putting out healthy new growth.
Prune off interior branches that have lost most of their leaves. You will notice that new leaves form from tiny green points at the ends of the branches. This new growth will be acclimated to its new environment. Eventually, many of the original leaves will drop off and be replaced by lots of new leaves. This process can take up to six months, so be patient. Practical tip: Once a week give your ficus a vigorous shake to loosen all the leaves that are destined to fall off soon anyway. Then clean them all up at once. It's easier than picking up a few leaves every day. There is nothing mysterious about ficus trees. They don't like to be moved. They don't like dry soil. They prefer more light rather than less. They thrive outside in direct sun, but they will survive indoors with a minimum of bright indirect sun all day long. That is a wide range of light to which they can adapt. In general, give them as much light as possible, but avoid moving them unless you are willing to deal with a lot of leaf shedding.
Ficus trees are finicky, but very tough to kill
When given adequate light and proper water, weeping figs will live longer than any other indoor plant. They can survive bouts of occasional over or under watering. They don't need misting or high humidity and they can survive all indoor temperature extremes, including cold drafts. Although sudden environmental changes will cause ficus trees to shed leaves for a while, be patient because this is temporary and the ficus tree will recover nicely.

How to Prune A Ficus Tree
Healthy ficus trees are wonderful to prune, once you overcome your initial hesitancy, because you really can't go wrong. They put out new growth soon enough that they quickly cover over any mistaken cuts. Just trust that the new growth will come in after you do your pruning. With experience you can learn to shape them as you see fit. Generally, ficus trees respond well to regular and even heavy pruning. You should routinely prune out all of the dead twigs and weak growth in the center of the tree and also prune some outer growth as well. Keep in mind that new growth always emerges at the ends of healthy stems and branches.
Here are three pruning approaches to use.
Remove up to one third of the outer growth on all the stems and branches. This will shrink the overall canopy of the tree by one third. This approach will yield a smaller and fuller ficus tree. It is great for ficus trees that have outgrown their space.
Selectively prune back up to one third of the longest individual stems and branches into the center of the tree. This will open up the center portion to more light. The cut back stems will now produce new growth and fill in the sparse center area. When done regularly, this technique will maintain the existing size of the tree without making the pruning obvious.
Combine the first two. Pruning ficus trees is as much art as it is science - like cutting hair. Try to visualize how your tree will look with certain branches cut back and also how it will look as the new growth comes in. I have successfully pruned back ficus trees enough that there was not a single leaf remaining. In time I had a beautiful tree with all new growth. Plunge in and have fun!

Moving Your Ficus Outside
If your ficus is doing reasonably well indoors, then you should leave it there. Here's why. Ficus leaves are very sensitive to even subtle changes in light. Moving your ficus from indoors to outdoors is a dramatic change in light that puts it under considerable stress. Old leaves fall off and are replaced with healthy new growth. Ficus trees are tough plants that thrive in direct sunlight. By the end of the summer, an outdoor ficus will probably look good again (provided you water it heavily). However, you will have to move it back inside in the late fall and it will have to readjust to the dramatically lower light all over again. You will spend most of the winter picking up fallen ficus leaves. I recommend against this because most people do not want to look at a declining tree for 6+ months every year. If you are prepared to accept that, then go ahead and move it outside for the summer. If you have lots of direct light inside, then the winter adjustment process will not be as severe. Yet, in that circumstance, there is no benefit to moving it outside in the first place because it gets enough light inside. It is preferable to find a permanent location for your ficus with lots of direct or bright indirect light and leave it there. It will reward you by stabilizing and not constantly dropping leaves.

Repotting Ficus Trees
Ficus trees can manage quite well even when potbound, provided they get enough water. Really saturate the soil when you water, allowing the ficus to sit in the excess water for an hour or so to wick it up. If the soil stays damp for several days or more, then I would advise against repotting. If it dries out again in a day or two, then repotting is probably warranted. If so, use a pot one size larger, usually 1 or 2 inches wider at the top. You may observe roots growing out of the drainage holes of your ficus pot. In most cases you can simply cut off these roots where they emerge from the pot. These are tough plants and it will not harm them. I always prefer to do less rather than more, but if you still want to repot, read on. Repotting a large ficus tree is a big project requiring at least one extra pair of hands to help with the lifting. I recommend root pruning and returning the plant to its original pot. After you have removed your ficus from its pot, use a long sharp knife (a machete is ideal) to slice off approximately an inch of rootball all around the sides and bottom. Put an inch or so of fresh soil in the bottom of the pot, place the root-pruned ficus back into the pot, and fill in the sides of the pot with fresh soil.

Unexpected Leaf Drop
Sometimes a well-established ficus tree that has not been moved in a year or more will experience a sudden spurt of inexplicable leaf loss. The leaf drop seems to occur after a prolonged period of sustained growth. At some point, a ficus has as many leaves as it can support in the available light, i.e. it is maxxed out. It continues to grow and put out new foliage at the end of its branches, but it now has to sacrifice some of the older leaves to survive. This phenomenon usually occurs in the winter months when the day length is shorter. The best thing you can do in this circumstance is to prune your ficus back as much as you can stand. This will curtail the leaf drop and help keep your tree full and bushy in its center.

Ficus Pests
Scale insects and mealybugs are the most common ficus pests. Often they go undetected until the owner notices stickiness on the leaves and on furnishings under the tree. The best treatment is a silicon plant cleaner called Brand X. Horticultural and neem oil sprays are also effective. Insecticidal soap sprays and many pesticides often cause increased leaf drop. Never spray ficus trees when they are exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures.

GOOD LUCK GIRL...LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES?

I LOVE MY HOUSEPLANTS TOO!

I love plants. I love houseplants, greenhouse plants, annual plants and perennial plants. If it comes with leaves....it is for me! I have been a plant maniac since I was a child. I have one spider plant that is 20 years old! (I wish I could tell you I was only 23 but that would be a lie! haha) I have spent hours and bought countless books about plants. I would be reading these books while others would be reading the "smut" magazines, comic books and watching television. I try to know as much about them as possible. The bigger the better for me.

At one point my home looked like a jungle. I had over 100 pots in my home. There was a garden center in our city that knew me by name, and would call me if they got a plant in that they figured I didn't have yet. I used to joke that I would eventually own more soil than a farmer, only it would be individually potted! But...since I became a mother, I have scaled back my indoor plant habit substantially.

In the winter months I spend my time starting new plants from either the seeds I have harvested from the plants that I have, or taking cuttings to propagate new ones. These new plants are given away to friends and anyone that wants one, two or ten!

When I purchase a new plant, I will either take the healthiest looking one, or the sickest looking one. I like the challenge of "fixing" it.

Many of my houseplants winter in the tropical environment of my greenhouse. The greenhouse is also the last stop for sickly looking plants before I give up and just 'recycle' them.

I hope you enjoy the tour of houseplants that follows.

This is a Jade plant. (Crassula) Jades are succulent plants that grow into a stocky tree-type form. It are stunning with their plump, rounded leaves. Some types of Jade plants develop deep reddish edges on the leaves when they are exposed to bright light. Jade plants prefer bright light...and even some direct sunlight.

Water so that the water runs out the bottom of the pot, and then allow to dry out. Over watering will cause this plant to droop and lose leaves. Mealy bugs love this plant...so keep your eyes open for the white cotton ball type signs of this pest when buying this specimen. Last summer I managed to coax this little lady into bloom!

I was just ever so very proud!

I hope to do it again once she is more comfortable in her new bigger pot.

This lovely specimen is a Wandering Jew. (Tradescantia)This one happens to be purple one. The leaves are a deep purple with silver accents. There are also green and white varieties. The Wandering Jew is a hanging plant that prefers bright light with some direct sunlight. Keeping the soil moderately moist from April to October and a little dryer the rest of the season, will help make this plant happy. One major tip for growing this plant is to keep the growing tips pinched out regularly to keep the rounded shape. Good light and regular watering will result in a happy plant, which may flower the sweetest little white flowers. Failing to keep the plant pinched back on top could result in a "bald spot" -meaning that the long arms of this plant will continue to grow and become very long and the pot will become "lonely". The cuttings that you take to pinch this plant out are easily rooted by placing them in a cup of water for a few days. Spider mites love Wandering Jews. Keeping them moist will help keep them away.

The Umbrella Tree (Schefflera) features large foliage and upright tree-like growth habit. They are easy to grow and their tough leaves that radiate form one point like the spokes on an umbrella, give this plant it's nick name. The one pictured here is a variegated umbrella, but they do come in solid green leaves as well. The umbrella tree is a beautiful and upright, shrubby plant that will tolerate the dry household air (and is often seen in office buildings) and is known to filter out many noxious gasses from the air. It requires medium to bright light and no direct sunlight. Watering to keep the soil moderately moist will help keep this plant happy, and bug free. Spider mites mealy bugs and scale insects love this plant.

This is a cactus. It is commonly known as Thanksgiving or Christmas Cactus, depending on when it blooms. This one blooms on the American Thanksgiving. It belongs to the branched out variety of the species. The leaves are flattish, succulent pads covering in spiny dots. New "pads" emerge from the existing pads end on end. This plant is not the true cactus that we find in the desert. It is a forest type. Do not over water or it will collapse, but during the hot summer months, it is best to keep watered regularly. Bright light with some full sun is a good idea.

Spider Plants are the most recognizable house plant there are. (also called Chlorophytum) They are incredibly adaptable to most household conditions. They tolerate hot dry air, but will also grow in cooler temperatures. They are adaptable to bright light or moderately shaded rooms as well. A NASA study showed that spider plants will filter formaldehyde particles from the indoor air. Spider plant is also known for pushing itself right out of its pot over time. It produces thick, white, root balls that very quickly will fill the bottom of the pot. 1/3 of the plant should be removed when it is necessary. A happy Spider plant will bloom tiny white blooms on long thin tendrils, which will produce plantlets. The baby plantlets that will grow out of the main plant and hang down will easily root if placed in some damp soil or a cup of water for a few days. I have pictured both a variegated and a plain green spider plant. The plain green variety( in my opinion) is easier to keep happy than the variegated one.

I have managed to coax the spider plant above to go to seed...and have started many many plants from them.

The ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas) is a prehistoric-looking plant. It is difficult to come across, but well worth it when you find one. It is adaptable to the conditions that an indoor Gardener has to offer such as dry air and lower light levels. It is also able to withstand a bit of a drought, as it sports tuber like roots that will store water for when needed. ZZ Plant prefers bright, filtered sunlight to partial shade. In the summer months this plant will benefit from being placed outdoors in a dappled shade area of your garden.

Arrowhead Vine (Syngonium) is a hanging or climbing plant, depending on your preference. If you add support, this plant will climb, if you do not, this plant will hang gracefully. Each leaf on this plant will emerge as a simple arrowhead shape, but as it matures, it will transform into a deeply lobed leaf made up of three or four leaflets. One plant can sport several different leaf shapes. I have the emerald gem variety, but you can buy them in solid formed leaf colors too. This plant flourishes under bright light conditions with no direct sunlight if it is the variegated leaf type (shown above) The solid color leaf types like partial shade. Regular watering is a must for this plant.

Philodendron. This one name can describe several different plants. There are hanging and climbing and tree-type varieties. The one below is a Philo-selloum. I have also seen it called a lacy philodendron. It is a tree-type variety. This plant likes dappled shade and bright light but never full sun. If you put her in full sun...she will get a burn. Philodendrons on average do not grow very quickly. The leaf span on this one can range from a new leaf being about three inches across...to the largest most mature leaf being almost two feet! This species is a low maintenance and easily adaptable houseplant. Besides being almost impossible to kill and long lived, this plant is always a treat for the eyes!

This Philodendron is called Philo-scandens. It can be a hanging or climbing plant.

This is Devil's Ivy. (Epipremnum) It resembles the philodendron and is often confused with it. Devil's Ivy is one of the most common and easies houseplants to grow. It can be a hanging or climbing houseplant. This plant, if taken care of, can grow to 8 feet or more! Bright to moderate light is necessary to keep it happy, and water when dry. This one is a variegated type, but you can see them with full green leaves as well. You have to trim some of the stems regularly to keep the plant from looking straggly and bare. Placing the cuttings into water will encourage rooting..which in turn means more plants!

Snake Plant (Sansevieria) is a super easy to grow plant. You don't' need much light or water! You will need a heavy based pot to grow this plant in as it will tip over due to the long leaves. Other than the easy part, this plant speaks for itself!

Wax Plant (Hoya) features succulent foliage and waxy clusters of flowers. This plant is virtually indestructible. It will grow and bloom even when you neglect it. This plant are generally used as a hanging plant, but can also be trained to climbing. They love bright light and some direct sunlight. This one used to be a variegated variety, but somehow reverted back to full green due to the abundance of light I give it.

Aloe features thick succulent foliage and a long spike of flowers. They are slow growing succulents that sport thick, fleshy tentacle type leaves edged with spike-ish hooks. Aloe is easy to grow and will thrive on any sunny window sill.

This is a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) . It for me is just growing a few roots. Once planted in some potting soil, I will place it in a shaded but bright room and water regularly. If you forget to water this plant, you will know it...as it wilts immediately once it is too dry.

Very pretty when mature and in bloom.

This is my favorite house plant. It is called a Monsterra Deliciosa. This can become a giant if taken care of. The one I am showing is much smaller than the one I used to have in my living room. In a few short years my plant was 8 feet tall! The leaves were 24 inches across! This plant is sometimes called a Philodendron

This is a Dracena Marginata. It is commonly referred to as a corn plant. Dracena prefers bright to moderate light that is shaded from direct sunlight. This plant can also tolerate some lower levels of light. If you get a variegated one, it will need brighter light to keep it's foliage colors. They are an easy plant to grow.

This one is also a Dracena. It is a spike version...called Dracena marginata tri-color. It has red and green and light green in the leaves! All Dracenas are prone to become tall and leggy. They are a tree type plant. If it gets tall and leggy, it may need to be staked.

This plant is called a split leaf Philodendron...commonly called a Swiss cheese plant, or shot gun filly! I like the holes that develop in the leaves. It does not like too much light...but too little light will make the leaves solid in form. Water moderately and make new plants from cuttings

The next photos are of the Ficus family. The common names are generally Fig related. There are many more types than I have shown, but I don't have them at this moment. This very dirty specimen is called Ficus Elastica (Black Prince) Also known as a Rubber Tree Plant.

I just bought him and he came all dusty and dirty. I didn't clean it as I wanted to show you how they often come. I will be using a damp rag to clean the leaves...you can also take a cup of milk, a bottle of beer and some water, mix them together and wipe the leaves with it. This mixture will make them very shiny. The mixture is also good for all houseplant leaves. I also have been known to take all of my plants outside or put them in the bath tub and shower them off. The Ficus family likes bright light to partial shade. Ficus elastica will adapt to morning sunlight, but afternoon sun is too hot and will burn the leaves. Water moderately and enjoy.

This is a clean version of the Black Prince.

This is a Ficus Elastica Tri-Color.

This is a ficus Rubiginosa....also called a Rusty Fig

Everyone knows this one! It is a Dieffenbachia. Common name is Dumb Cane. This plant is famous for being poisonous. When pruning it, always wear gloves. You will get a nasty rash. Dumb Cane likes bright light shaded from direct sunlight and moderate watering. Likes high temps. This plant will grow to a tall tree if treated properly.

This plant is called a Spineless Yucca. It features sharp razor like foliage and woody stems. This plant loves bright direct sunlight all year long. Keep the soil moist in the growing season, and allow to dry a little in the winter. You can take this plant out to your garden in the summer time, but keep in a sheltered location.

This succulent plant is called Haworthia Fasciata. Common name....Zebra Haworthia. It resembles an aloe plant and sports thick, sharply pointed, ribbed foliage. That long thin spike is a left over from a bloom. The blooms are pink trumpet like flowers that will last only one day. Because it is a form of succulent, you need to water sparingly in the winter, but moderately in the summer. I fill the bottom bowl and allow the plant to suck up the water from the bottom. I have my plant in full sunlight and it loves it. Will grow in lower light levels for short periods of time.

Most of you are laughing like crazy at my houseplants right now. Many of these are common garden plants where you live. In Canada...the only way we can enjoy these tropical babies is to have them in the greenhouse and home. They would never survive the harsh winters we have here. If anyone has any other tips about any of these plants....PLEASE feel free to leave them in our comment box. We can always appreciate a tip or trick or two!

I use the same fertilizer on the houseplants that I do on the garden plants. I water weekly in the cooler months, and feed weekly (on Friday). If we are lucky enough to get some hot weather, I will water more often as needed.

I am always trying to get all of my house plants to bloom and eventually go to seed or reproduce by way of plantlets or off-shoots. There is nothing more rewarding than to grow your own new plants from seeds you harvested or plantlets you rooted yourself!

I am always on the look out for new plants. I try to have one of every kind I can get my little mitts on!. Plants are a great hobby for this girl, and in order to have as many as I can , I use them in my decor of my house...I would be so very happy if I could just live right in my greenhouse!

Until next time...Happy gardening!
