You're most welcome, Joan!

Thank you for enjoying them, and for all your compliments as well. You are very kind.

To think that this is just the beginning of my pictures!

I grow things all winter long also, and intend to show my plants throughout the cold months too. In Spring, I will show many new tulip and hyacinth bulbs I planted this Fall...

I will look forward to them, especially those over the winter, they will be bright spots during the day here at work!
I am sure folks think I'm not growing a thing, as I have not posted any pics yet, life has been a bit hectic of late and this site seems to be a bit different when it comes to posting them. I will figure it out soon! Thanks again!

That's right, swiss chard - red ruby. I grow it all winter indoors.

Yes, it's called 'Charisma' Miles - cool that you noticed it, since it's not currently in bloom.


I got the 'Burrito' baby burro's tail cuttings from someone in Oklahoma, and they rooted in the mail!

Wow! Beautiful flower you are expecting there! I cannot WAIT to see it in bloom! I am currently just growing run of the mill minerva and red lion. Just starting to get some green-ness popping up.

Thanks, Pen.

Here's what seems to be the first bud on my Caerulea passiflora vine, that I waited 10 months to see - just noticed it now. Foyer is getting dark so the shot isn't super clear, as the vine is in the corner, but you can still see it...



Here's my seed grown "Silver Cup" Lavatera plant about to bloom...




As my freezer and jars are stuffed with hot peppers, I am drying these ones right on the plant, and noticed a lady bug was having a nap on one of the fruits...

I'm intrigued with the lavatera. I'm thinking of tring the tree form; should be hardy where I am. Anyone growing it? Do I have to start it from seed, or can an established plant be bought? Thanks.

Thanks - they're called 'Masquerade' and they are pretty flavorful.
