My aloe was looking sort of black and rotting. It doesn’t have many roots. I decided to take part of my crop and put it in some succulent soil to see if it does better. It’s been going downhill for years now since we got our front porch and lost the north window sunlight.

A few more pictures from the yard. There are vegetable plants and seeds planted but it was too dark to. Take a picture. I sprayed all the flowers with a homemade rabbit repellent so hopefully they’re not all gone tomorrow morning.

Planted grandmas geraniums from Mother’s Day today since the last frost was last night. Also transplanted the keepsake azalea and rozalea into hanging baskets to hang under a tree where they won’t have direct sun.

The frosts are over and it finally stopped raining long enough to get the new flower bed planted! We installed the new flat bricks 3 days ago. The empty spots have seeds planted there. Hopefully the Arizona sun seeds I got from my aunts plant last year comes up, they’re my favorite!

Today I pruned mothers forsythia bush. She wasn’t happy she said if it were up to her she would let it go wild but its already lopsided from not pruning it earlier…. Grrrr it would look nicer if it were a round bush. I cut it way back in the front to make room for the flower garden we made last year.

My jade plant was falling out of its pot! It hasn’t been transplanted for a long time! I was surprised at the lack of roots it had. I was expecting it to be super root bound. Now I have them in 3 different locations so I can see where it does better.

I also repotted my spider plant today! I was going to do both of them but the pot with all of the solid green ones don’t really have any roots to them yet so I let them be.
The other one, however, REALLY NEEDED REPOTTING! I just got it last year and look at the roots on that thing!
I also adjusted the babies on the MEGASPIDERPLANT so they’re hanging and not laying on the table. I just don’t want my dog to eat them lol. I have them all hanging to the right side where he can’t get to them easily.
I also put my celery in dirt. It seems to have stopped growing.

I did some re-potting today! I have way too many pothos plants. One of them I left out in the patio over the winter to see what would happen. It survived barely. I also had a bunch I cut up when I brought them all inside for winter because they were too long. I’m going to combine all of them into two pots, one for my room and one for the other side of my hutch in the patio.

Here’s a photo update on all my indoor plants. They’re all starting to grow now that the temperatures have started to stay in the 50s - 70s!
Check out how much the gloxina has grown since last time! It really greened up as well. The spiderplants in the 4th row were just a bunch of roots I put in dirt from when I fixed up the mega spider plant. There are plants shooting out of them left and right!!

Here’s a few of the late bloomers. They’re just starting. Mom’s lilac bush smells fantastic with my windows open!
