I agree. I used to like window shopping, but in cold weather it’s nice to be able to shop the internet. I still like looking at old fashioned catalogs though too. I so miss the Montgomery Award catalog store we had here. That catalog was well used especially in December.

I am going to have to take all my plants to the bath tub, and give them a shower, then spray some homemade pest spray. They have an infestation, which I believe to be aphids. I only have 1 pepper left to harvest. Several pepper plants are getting ready to bloom, so I want to get rid of the infestation before any of them set fruit.

The lemon tree was outgrowing it’s growing space horizontally, so I trimmed it back so that the new growth would be more vertical.

While I wuz out watering the pup, I noticed a bloom on a mum that has had no luv other than an occasional watering since bringing in the plants a month ago. I couldn’t believe it, seeing a bloom out there in all that gloom and death.

We have lots of mums in our annuals pots because Lowes puts them on the reduced racks when their blooms start looking puny. My wife buys them up for nearly nothing and deadheads them and then... new blooms.
