we like starting some of our plants in pots to get them strong before we put them in the ground. we divided up a hostas that had been in a tub for several years... and had outgrown it's space. It looked horrible, it was terribly rootbound. we got it divided into six smaller sections and put them in the ground. hopefully they start perking back up. they seem to be. 6 from one isn't bad tho. we just decided they didn't really need to be in a pot anymore so they could spread.

This plant is in quite a small pot but somehow survives well - Queen of the night (Epiphyllum sp. I think) usually flowers at night and the flower fades early morning... but this one flowered late afternoon after some rain. What a beauty she is, in the Western Cape, South Africa. I understand that they are not indigenous here, but are quite commonly cultivated. Who in this community sees these?

super excited to start getting some planting done over the weekend. i use old mineral tubs. i have started 3 flower combinations that i think will just turn out amazing. started some loofah , cucumbers, and zucchini. cold spell is moving through so waiting on peppers and tomatos. more soon, cant wait to show pictures but i'm not very good at it yet.

My diffenbachia is about 3 feet tall and just wide and I see the one large cane and two smaller ones and I am thinking of cutting one of the small canes and propagating it. Any suggestions?

Have enjoyed watching all my flowers blooming and admiring my roses. All perennials for me!
