Haven't posted in this thread for a while due to the major damage done by two teenage cats cooped up by rainy weather..... So the fuchsias looked horrid for a while.
Orange Crush, Pink Pearl, Amber Rose, and Ted Sweetman are all still indoors. But I have moved the others outside. Because I have realized that in selecting which fuchsias to grow indoors, I ought to have chosen the smaller and slower growing ones.
So I am going to be bringing in a Black Prince and a Marin Glow inside for starters.
And the whole lot is going to be moved to the mobile platform in the sunny kitchen area. Said platform is currently inhabited by a four foot high fibrous cane begonia of the 'Silver Mist' variety. Which is waiting to be moved back outdoors where his buddy 'Tom Ment' has already gone for his own safety.......
A squirt bottle is not only a wonderful thing to have on hand for your plants, it is also a very effective cat deterant!! But it is only useful when one is awake and has one in hand!
Here is a photo of the two juvrnile delinquents. They'll be a year old in April.
