We always have a bunch of herbal containers and others hanging on. I mean that literally. The Herbal Husband rescued a plant from the neighbor's trash and sometimes he is very successful in reviving them and sometimes not. He said to me yesterday looking at the hanging basket that had a dead plant in it. (Insert Spanish accent here.) "I don't even know what this is!" Honestly I can't make this stuff up! I think sometimes we could be used as a "Modern Family" storyline. I got an hour's worth of walking outside, because it is just so gosh darn beautiful out there. It is all going to come to an end later today and we will go back to winter tomorrow. Hope you are having a great day wherever you may be. Talk to you later.

I did finally get to start an avocado..:) yours has a nice bushy look to it. Lemon Verbena in the pot dug up from the garden is overwintering in the basement and still has a few green leaves. My
scented geranium looks dead...but when I gently tug on it there is give, so I'm hoping it's still alive, it smells wonderful lavender and rose...mmmmm should I water it?
I don't have as many pots brought in this year as normal. Lost a lot last year to heat and drought. So we don't have quite the jungle indoors as usual.
My own pots could be called the ICU - most are on life support but holding their own. Yours look look really strong! The best luck I have had is with an azalea my Mom gave me about 5 Easters ago. It spends our short summers outside on the shady side of our porch & then comes in for the long winter. It blooms every Fall right before Thanksgiving
Yes, Faith, our avocado was very stick like for awhile. Yes, you need to water your verbena and scented geranium about every week or 10 days.
I wish we didn't bring in so many pots, Carol! It takes so much time to water them. I always say we are going to limit them and it somehow never happens!
Thanks ladies for stopping by. xxoo LVL
Winter has just started, TO! Our pots can be great looking and then two weeks before they are to go outside, they tank! I like the azalea story. It is a remembrance plant. I love those. xxoo LVL
thank you, I had been watering it but then wondered if I should..Looking forward to seeing the fresh green little sprigs from my scented geranium, it smells so pretty.
You're welcome, Faith. I hope you do have little green sprouts shortly! xxoo LVL
