Sproing!

Spring has hit here at the Black Thumb in a big way. Kinda like a tidal wave, really...we have gotten a LOT of rain lately, and the plants are loving it. So without further ado, here are the Outsiders...

The Herb Bowl at my back steps:

Simon's Dill and Green Bell Pepper:

The Magical Mystical "Holy COW it really smells like" Curry Plant:

And more here. Click that link for a slideshow of all my garden pictures.

As for the Insiders...Draco and Umbrella are thriving when not being nibbled by the cat. There is one shoot of Jade left...he's been dying off bit by bit. Purple whatzit has gotten taller...we rescued a friend for him of the same species from Lowes for a quarter, but it was too far gone. Belle is trying her best to burrow into a picture frame but I keep thwarting her progress. The others not mentioned...are gone. Some plants I'm just not supposed to keep I suppose...but I do have Brummy, a collection of bromeliads that I need to photograph.

The Plants...living with Black Thumb

First, the "Indoors"...yeah, they all have names...so?

Jade One and Jade Two:





Draco, the Dragon Tree (after some nibbling from my cat, sadly...):



Banana, the Umbrella Plant:



Whatsit, the Purple Passion Plant/Vine:



Beelzebub, what we THINK is Devil's Ivy (Belle for short):



The "Outdoors"...no names, they don't live in the house with me and there are just too many!

The Rosemary Twins:



Window Box One and Two: Petunias, Snapdragons, Peonies and Dianthus (not sure the species)





Gerbera Daisies, Orange and Red:

It would seem I don't have to worry about how it grows in this climate, hey? Notice that you can no longer clearly see the thingy stuck in the pot to remind me what kind of plant it is...
