I HAVE ROSES
Two bright yellow blooms from Robert, a slightly lopsided pink effort from Midge (Midge is a rescue rose and needs a bit of encouragement), and Margaret, and Abaddon off in the corner, have buds well on the way.
Woo hoo!
On repotting Little Cthulhu the baby kowhai, I discovered that it had been reaching beyond the trammels of its mortal shell, and sent tap roots well down into the ground underneath, which made things awkward because I couldn't exactly leave it there indefinitely. I had to break the root in the end and the new pot turns out to be deeper but not wide enough for LC's expansive roots. I'll have to repot very soon, or finally admit that LC doesn't need me any more. (That would hurt.)

My current policy of antihistamines plus swabbing my sinuses out with castor oil on the regular seems to be helping me not get a clogged up nose at night when I'm trying to sleep. It often feels a (very) little blocked in the morning, but then, I'm not waking up in the wee hours because the difficulty breathing was pulling me out of sleep either. This... actually may be why I have the spoons to pull so many weeds right now. Hmmmm...
EDIT:
Yes, yes I do name some of my plants. What of it?
