The Gerber Daisies and fig bush cutting are looking good, too. I ran out of pots, so I'm using emptied paint cans for the daisies. The fig tree/bush is from a neighbor. Her daughter lives close to Dallas and has a big fig bush that produces huge figs. I can hardly wait to see what it will do!!!
Let's see what else I have out here on my deck... Heirloom tomatoes that I started from seed back on Feb 19th. They look good and when I rub a leaf between my fingers, it smells just like tomatoes!!! The Rosemary was dying fast in the house. But when I put it outside and added compost, it started putting out new leaves/ needles. Mmmmm! I love that smell!!! Smells like Christmas!!! :-)
Speaking of Rosemary... When I was in Italy in 2008, one of the places we stayed had them all around the building. Along with lemon and line bushes in big pots. They have big rooms on the back where they store the plants that can't tolerate cold weather. Well, I suppose the basement at the cabin would do for over wintering my plants???
Wonder if I could get my HUGE Cornstalk plant down there??? :-) I've had it since 1988. It was given to us after David's mother died. I'm thinking it was from my brothers & sisters. It's about time to cut the top off it. I don't want it to bloom, again. It has bloomed twice. It smelled great for the first few hours, then it started to be a sickeningly sweet, overpowering scent. All thru the house!!! I had to cut it and throw it into the compost bin. The great thing about it blooming was that it put out another shoot! Now, there are four stalks instead of the two it had at first.
