Cucumber Miracle

I was watering the garden today and I looked under the 
leaves of the cucumber vines.  I couldn't believe what I saw!

Is that a baby cucumber?

:-) 

No...it's a miracle!

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of

what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

Hope your day has been full of miracles!

Pothos - Still Gardening

It's 100 degrees in South Carolina and I'm still gardening!
This time I'm rooting pothos.  I love pothos because they can
stand low light or fluorescent lights for part of the  year and
I work in a large library with no windows.

About three weeks ago I cut off some stems and stuck them
in a jar of water.  Just kept filling up the jar...that's all.

This jar of pothos is about a week and a half in the water.

I put them both in new pots today.

It is still too hot to be doing this.

They both turned out well.  

I think I'll stop gardening for  awhile until it cools off.   People

are more important than plants.  I think I'll call someone who

needs cheering up tomorrow.  These plants can wait!

Love,

Lottie

Rescue Petunias

Sometimes in July petunias look spent.  That was the case with a
neighbor's hanging basket of petunias.  All the blooms were gone,
and the neighbor set the basket by his garbage can on the road.  I
noticed there was a little green still left on it and I couldn't stop
thinking about the poor plant.  So, we asked the neighbor if we
could try to rescue the hanging basket and he gave us the basket.
DH carefully trimmed it back and nurtured it with Miracle Grow
and LOTS of water.  That was two weeks ago. 

 

Look how beautiful it is now!

It's funny how attached you can get to rescue plants!
