My winter garden

I love having green plants growing in winter. Here are my two aqua gardens.

I love being able to pick a lettuce leaf to eat. More will be growing larger soon.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

An unexpected mess

I heard a thump. I figured it must be the cats playing upstairs, but it wasn’t.

No one was in this dining room, not until I opened the door and found this mess. No pet did this, no person, but this person had to clean it up. Ugh! Hopefully the amaryllis will not die from this fall.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

National Houseplant Appreciation Day

I’m celebrating the plants that bring life indoors, especially during the winter.

There are houseplants all over my home. Upstairs I have a fern that my cats investigate every day. When the weather warms, it will spend its summer outside, as will some of my other houseplants.

In January, seeing green plants growing, makes me feel good. They show that spring will return, even if it will take a few more months.

If you have no growing plants, I suggest you get at least one. It will become your green pet. You can even talk to it.

Another good thing about having a plant as a pet, it will stay where you put it.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
