Wishing you a Merry Christmas! May your Christmas Cacti stay blooming well into the new year! And may you all have a wonderful holiday season!

I’ve decided to reactivate the group under the hobby plan, which is a lot less per month than pro. I have been busy over the summer and fall, and have built myself a growing dome (with the help of family and friends) so that I can garden year-round. The exterior is done but almost everything inside still needs to be finished. I’ll be sharing my progress here so stay tuned.

After a lot of thought and bouncing the pros and cons around, I have decided to archive this community. I spend a lot more time outside than I do inside, and I simply haven't taken the time to post as often as I had intended to. Plus with the growing dome build on the horizon I'll be extra busy. If you haven't already downloaded the freebies I have included please take advantage of them now. The group will be archived and to my knowledge, any files will no longer be accessible to members. My group is paid until July 2, at which time it will be unavailable for new members, comments, and posts. In all honesty, at $150+ CAD it's no longer feasible for me to keep it going. I do have an alternative so if you wish to continue to follow my gardening journey please DM me and I'll send you the info. Thank you for being here and I have enjoyed seeing your gardens (both inside and out).

Five years ago I got a small pot of these “annuals” from my kids school green house. They really aren’t supposed to do this in this zone. But every year even after being sprayed heavily by my husband after I fill my pot, they come back up the next year and bring their friends. This year I decided to just roll with it. They are pretty and bloom for a long time. You can see the pot I started with them in. The first year they filled it nicely but that’s it. Now these picture only show you part of them. They just keep spreading.

My spider is blooming like crazy. I have this one in an east bathroom window. It obviously loves it there. Pictures aren’t great with the light coming at me but hopefully you can see all the blooms.
