New Plants and Seeds Purchased the Last Day of 2021
Friday, December 31st, 2021Milkweed
Early 2021 I purchased milkweed seed and planted them in flats and directly in the gardens. Only a single plant survived. Well, this is it today. Not sure how much longer it will survive.
The tropical Milkweed, that is not recommended for Monarchs, doesn’t seem to die back.
Volunteer plants have occurred.
The annoying thing is that I planted the proper milkweed seed in the exact locations and not a single sprout.
When I planted the seed, I unfortunately found two Monarch caterpillars. They should have gone through the chrysalis cycle and been on their journey to someplace warmer.
Concerned about them. The night temperature has been in the low 40s. I have tried caring for caterpillars in the past with no success. I hate leaving them on their own, but right now I am waiting to see what happens.
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
Tillandsias Pretty Boy
Removed the wire hanger and constructed a hanger of linen.
Tillandsias Houston Colossus
Made a wee linen basket for this plant.
They frame my laptop, how cool is that?!
Why?
Thursday, October 21st, 2021If a purple succulent leaves is desired, buy a succulent with purple leaves. There are loads of succulents in a variety of purple colors.
I don’t have purple succulents. When I brought the Echeveria Black Knight home, it was more of a reddish purple, natural, and beautiful. It has been living in the garden since July 2017. The color changes with the amount of light that it receives.
Much better than peeling paint.

Surprise Find
Monday, July 19th, 2021Last night I cleared the spent Evening Primrose from a patch of garden. I found this–
The succulent is about to bloom for the first time.
Borage and Damage
Wednesday, June 30th, 20216/20/21 Folded Small Paper Pots for Planting Seed
Planted a single seed in each paper pot.
50 Borage
10 Black Barlow
5 Nigella
Placed the lot in a plastic pizza container. Covered with Cling Wrap
6/25/21 Removed the cling wrap, there were over 25 sprouts.
Potted them up because the roots from one seedling were growing into the neighbor paper pots.
6/29/21 Transplanted Some of the Seedlings in the Garden.
Potted up the rest. Finished at nearly noon.
This is What I found at 3:30
6/30/21 What I Found on the Deck Today
The 3 Potted Borage Seedlings I Placed on the Deck
Even a succulent start was ripped from its pot.
Who is responsible for the damage? Pretty sure it was a California Towhee family.
This has been a frustrating year for gardening. My flats have been ripped up, several plants in the greenhouse were shredded. Wildflower and Datura seedlings vanished from the garden.
