October Update

Seasons come and go.

Thank goodness, I say.   Can you imagine how mundane it would be if we were stuck in one season continuously?  

If we had no extremes of freezing wet winters or sticky, humid summers, many plants would not flourish.   Lots need those cold temperatures to make them flower and to set fruit.   

I've just written a blog about Zygocactus and some of the reasons why they don't flower.  These are some of those plants that do need a cold snap to stimulate blooming.  Read more here


Thank you to those who support me, when I run my sales.  

You probably have very little idea of how much effort online sales takes.  All those photos, deciding on prices, writing content, and figuring out the best way to post them online.  Often making mistakes as I go.
