Virginia Creeper cuttings. Thank you Mom.

 

I love Virginia Creeper. For me, it is the bright red in the fall. It is the brightest red autumn vine we have here on our Island. My mom has some beautiful, red Virginia Creeper at her place. I took a few small cuttings and then my mom arrived the next day with some huge cuttings for me. So they have been trimmed, rooting hormoned, and planted.

 

And this is what the little cuttings look like in the greenhouse.

Tia's first glass {of her first batch} of Kombucha.

 

This is my cousin Tia's first glass of Kombucha, out of the first batch she's ever made. She is incredibly talented isn't she!! She is a natural food girl who makes almost everything from scratch.

We have a Citrus House!!!!

 

How cute is this!? Tree planted, fed, pruned and watered.

 

Today is a red letter day. I am so happy. After dreaming of my citrus trees being planted in the soil inside a greenhouse, the first tree is planted...in the soil...in the greenhouse. Thank you Allan and Noel. I drew the circle where the hole had to be dug and they did the rest. {tennis elbow} I put Gaia Green under the root ball and they snugged manure and soil around it. It is still in clay though, so I will work at adding to the organic matter content.

 

The Meyer Lemon Tree with our hole measuring stick.

The hole partially dug. It took a shovel and a pry bar.

A different angle. Before it was pruned so it looks a bit lopsided.

Beamer the Garden Cat is always near by.

Transplanting Christmas cactuses.

I am very limited what I can do because of tennis elbow, so I do little jobs. Today I decided to transplant my little Christmas Cactuses and one succulent into my English terracotta pots. They just look so much cuter. So this is before...

 

 

And this is after:

 

 

Early Pink Lady. The most beautiful apple ever!!

 

Early Pink Lady!!! Is this the most beautiful apple you have ever seen!! It is as delicious as it is beautiful. It was gone within a minute of this photo being taken.

 

I will definitely be making fruit plates using this apple.

 

And this is what the apple blossoms looked like.
