New Years Eve

Forced paper whites today.

The ground was frozen today in the yard so this was my next option. I bought this pot for a hydrangea. When they finish blooming in the spring I'll move the container to the yard for it. I still have a few bulbs to plant but will wait mid week when temperatures are expected to be in the 40's and I can plant the rest in my window box.

Just have to give them a good watering.

First puzzle for 2026. It's harder than the last one and taking longer than I expected. Enjoying the challenge.

Seedlings will soon be on the plant shelf.

I've had many Chinese Evergreens. Supposedly low light plants but in my house this is the first one I've managed to keep alive. Plant light daily.

Will put these in a jar and save until next Christmas. Will also work on getting better looking dried orange slices. I have a whole year.

Not fully emerged, but it already smells wonderful.

Have a blessed, safe, healthy, and prosperous new year,
