Hi,
Went out and now I am home as my MIL had a panic attact... So sister and BIL are coming here to play cards... The way Leaf told me to plant was use a sweater box and fill half with my mix... I did use lava rocks on bottom and also perlite and then added my mix.. I put holes in the bottom and watered once and left alone which is hard for me...LOL I have watered I think 3 times now since I put the box down with saran wrap on top... I have babies coming up... these were just leaves I had cut to play with so will have allot to send to people.. I have a few and I do mean a few named ones in there and also two or three leaves I used before but when I took them out and potted up the babies from these they were still good leaves so I put them back in with these and low and behold I have more babies from the same leaf...
I have really been in a funk and not taking care of my plants as well as I should but this will get better :-) I have allot of babies to pot up ... I hate that part...LOL
Lin, The next 3 pictures are for you.... One of the baby mouse which are going into the woods on Monday since most are eating and I found out they mate at 4 week or so... :-( Not in my house.... The other is a new born turtle we found today in the yard and a garter snake.....
I hope to get my butt in gear and post some strep pictures this week... but can't say for sure how my moods are going to be...
Hugs to all,
Susan
