What's outside of your picture window today?

@merpreb, @loribmt, @sueinmn, and all...
This is the third time writing you my message. I could do it easier and faster by carrier mourning doves! Grrrrrr...

I'm attaching pics of a couple more new inside plants I rescued and loving playing with. What fun for me now that I again can have a few plants inside. I gave up my house plants, put outside what would survive and gave friends others when medical issues took over a few years ago. Now, I can care for them regularly and only have succulents, low light,low water, or low maintenance.

Also, they're all rescue -pious me..and new to me. I love they're quaintness, so unusual and all respond so well to love.

Water about 1-2x weekly only. Low fertilizer needs. Low light needs. Perfect for my current life.

Added pic of watermelon plant that is bursting out with new growth. Love the new line of pots now, too. Things change so fast!

Watermelon has doubled in size since got it...2 weeks for most of these newbees.

Ck out the one full, rounded, in a great natural stone pot. What is it? Love it. Doubled also, but may be getting a tiny bit too much lite, as leaves are a touch brown, crinkled on tips. Moved it back couple of feet to kitchen divider.

Money tree needs help. One larger trunk has survived, has a lot of new growth. 2 trunks were squishy and pulled out easily. Moss on top, not much soil. Do you know how to help it? Repot with some fresh soil? What kind? Succulent?

OK, my pain in hands, fingers, wrist, arms, back, neck....is sky high now using my cell to message you so I'm through. Hope you are well and enjoy your new babies.

Be safe. Be blessed. Elizabeth

Love these guys!

Outside my window, well...
Taking care of the garden has been a pain over the last years so I let it go, erm, wild...

On the left I see a strange branch that sprouted a few flowers that disguise it as raspberry or blackberry, no idea where that will be going. It was in a pot where the 'sad apple tree' was delivered to me years ago, which does need a bit more attention although it did surprise me with flowers and even apples last year. The apples are tiny and more suited for birds since they are very sour.
I also see the bold, vivid red maple in a pot. I can't even describe its colour because it's way, way out of the image colour spectrum and radiates red, orange, red, orange, plum; all depending on the sun and the light that hits it. It is absolutely fabulous. Small, but like a bunch of flowers all the time.
On the right I spot some fragrant flowers from the honeysuckle and even snapdragon; the latter is quite the surprise.
I see some red salvia flowers that defied a few Winters (and my negligence) and even though they were sold as not hardy at all; they still live after snow and more.
The fig tree is still growing and I missed another pruning session early this year when no one could come over to help. But oh well: the more figs the better! It is getting quite unruly though, covering almost a third of the entire garden width.
There is a Strange Artefact which is the 'eucalyptus tree' I bought at a garden centre. Little did I know. Armed with zero knowledge I though this was a good idea. It turned out to be a branch, as I removed the pot dirt and planted it. It grew. A lot. But it's still basically a stick. It's curved, to boot. And one very cold Winter, as I walked into the living room I saw a bunch of leaves against the window. The leaves were attached to something; a massive branch. Where in the world...? As I stared at it, I noticed the tall eucalyptus tree was 'gone'. Well; it was no longer standing: it had draped itself against the window. It must have had problems keeping itself together in the harsh cold. The next day: it was upright again. I never understood how it was possible that it could simply go limp like this. But it's still here, a strange tall prince standing tall, alone, like this weird thing sticking out of the garden with leaves all the way up in its crown.

What beautiful word pictures you've drawn for us. I too am working to reclaim my gardens from a couple years of limited care. I keep telling myself to simplify, then I get another idea and...
