Hello everyone,

I haven't had much time to do much of anything lately!! First my grandson had his 4th birthday party at my house,we had a ball, he loved it.I don't know why i do so much cleaning for a party for 4 yr.olds,they leave the house in an even bigger mess.LOL My girls Gmother had a knee replacement and now has had 2 more surgeries to remove blood clots from a lung.She had a close call.She is doing better today,still on the respiratory but better.All this after the holidays,my surgery and people coming in from out of town.Think it's time from some R & R for me!!!

So, I haven't been on lately but hello to the new people i see have join in.My name is Jelinda AKA Jo or jojoe.I enjoyed reading all the new post since last time i was on.I learned a few things i may ask about later especially the MGro organic soil for CC's.

Gita,the onion plant you have remind's me of my asparagus fern is there any similarities? I was given one over the summer that had been sitting in a corner and only had growth on one side,growing towards the light.It had busted the clay pot it was in.I took it home to repot & it had onion looking bulbs on top of the soil.When i removed the pot there all these little white bulds,i ended up with a pile of them left over.Someone told me i could grow the asparagus fern outside here.Anyone know anything about this or are these two totally different plants.

My CC 'Polka dancer' has actually put out 2 new buds & i have no idea why? It was the last one to finish blooming,figured it was resting haven't done anything to it except give it a little water when it got dry.I really think it will fall off and not get very big but who knows this plant has been surprising me since i got it the end of October the beginning of November?!!? It is pretty,none of my others have such big,fat,plump segments & I've never had one that each limb branches out so much!!

Everyone have a good weekend !!!! Jo
