New Things Growing
Today I had energy. Extra spoons, as they say. I used most of it to start cleaning out my garden, which took a huge hit in our recent freeze (three days, a minor matter for northern gardens but a 20-year freeze in New Orleans). I think some of it (e.g. my huge grove of variegated ginger, which desperately needed pruning anyway) will come back, but a lot of stuff is gone, including my pencil cacti and a 5-foot poinsettia I'd grown from one of last year's Christmas plants. Well, the yard was looking shaggy and crowded anyway. This opens up lots of new planting space, and I've still got pansies, foxgloves, roses, mint, parsley, cauliflowers, carrots, bok choy, and a few other things that didn't mind the freeze at all.
In other news, our most recent addition comes from louismaistros and waifnola, who wanted to keep him "in the family." I give you Mr. Deano Bonano Morningstar Marbles, familiarly known as Deano:
As you can see, he's having a very hard time settling in.
