Day 17

I put these seeds in a ziploc bag in a warm place about a week ago. And today they are finally big enough to plant. So, I’ve made these makeshift greenhouses to try and keep them warm (its pretty chilly in our house).

I’m Cheating

Okay I really have no time today from what I can foresee to make anything at all. I have a landscape design project due today at 6:30pm. I have no idea what I am doing and I haven’t started. So I need to be working on that right after this until I am done. So I will cheat and show some pictures I took a few days back of some of my balcony plants. I have no idea what this vine is called. An older women who had an unkept garden gave me some plants and this vine was one of them. She had no idea what it was called.

I like the little flowers or seed heads it’s been putting out. The leaves have an interesting design on them too. It has grown like crazy in it’s container since I got it back around october.

catching up

I couldn’t post these the other day…so here it is:

1.) A new knitting stitch I learned

2.) A spider plant cutting for my neighbor…Interesting Fact: my mother, who calls quesadillas cheese tortillas for some reason knows that spider plant in Spanish is called a “mala madre” plant, or “bad mother” because it throws all its babies overboard.

Day 3: Milk Thistle Embroidery

Hand-embroidered quilt square # 2.   Milk thistle is kind of a spidery, weed-y looking plant, but beautiful in its way with all the white markings on the leaves.   I grow this stuff to make a liver tincture - wicked good hangover preventative.
