How to Propagate Monsteras
Back in late March, I had a day’s notice that the school building was closing. Of course, I didn’t know for how long that would be, so I needed to get my plants home. [Read more…] about How to Propagate Monsteras
Surprise Hydrangeas
It doesn’t look like much, but see?!
There are little specks of green in the upper left and lower right of this photo.
They are hydrangeas!
Last month when I went to prune my trees and bushes, I noticed that a twig on my hydrangea bush was starting to bud. Just for giggles, I dug a trench and buried the branch. Then Sunday, when I was out doing yard work, I noticed two little sprouts!
I’m interested to see if more come up, but I’m so happy with two. One will fill a blank space in the shady part of the back of the house and one will replace a hydrangea on the east side of my house that never quite took.
If more come up, don’t worry, I will find space for them! One can never have enough hydrangeas.
It was a beautiful Sunday and we enjoyed a lot of time outside.
Lucky for us, Jasper loves being outside. He is so calm outdoors.
One thing I enjoy about quarantine is front porch culture. We don’t have a porch so we hang out in our driveway and wave at people walking by or chat with our neighbor. When we go for walks we notice lots of people outside- more than ever before.
Somehow while we are farther apart, I feel more connected to my neighborhood.
