Pegi,
Sometimes I think that getting old is the hardest thing to do. It takes real grit to deal with your body betraying you. You are doing the best you can with Darwin, Pegi. If he isn't tempted by sweets, how does he feel about salty or savory foods? Have you tried chicken or beef broth? Just hang in there sweetie. Sending you hugs.
I'm really sorry to hear about the afib. One more thing to deal with.
Still keeping you in my prayers.
Try googling "Wired on Weed". I think there were a couple of listings for it. I know one was for the next air date of the documentary, and I am pretty sure I saw something on YouTube. You may be able to find a link that allows you to watch it online. LMK how it goes.
The photos were kind of fun.
1. Coral vine with visiting Giant Swallowtail.
2. Starfish.
3. I'm not sure what the succulent is but the flower reminds me of a starfish. : - )
4. Passionflower.
5. Spiderplant flower spike with blossom.
I thought I posted a different photo on that last one. Let me try again.
This is the photo I thought I posted.
Remember I was telling you about hanging my bags of strawberries, last year? Well I still working on it, but it's getting there. I've a bit of tweaking to do to it still. : - )
The next one is of my passion fruit. I don't know how many I have so far. But I could count 4 in plain sight and I'm sure there are a lot more. I met a lady who runs a restaurant who is interested in buying my excess fresh fruit and veggies.
The blue berries are starting to get ripe, and as soon as I get them moved into the sun, I bet they'll just keep getting happier. This variety blooms several times a year, so I'm pretty happy to see so many blossoms and fruit. I'll have to take some photos.
I know that you are just container gardening right now, and I wish I could grow something special for you. LMK if there is something you like that you don't have. You know I'll share with you. I was hoping that those balloon flowers we talked you into last year at the RU would be flowering by now. Such a pretty blue.
Anyway, I got some new seed in and I should get them planted.
Hugs sweetie.
