This is the first sunny day we’ve had this year, it’s 9 C° but it is cold cos of an easterly wind but behind the windows it is warm, this feels soooooo good !!! It is only for a couple of days but I intend to enjoy every minute of it ! I want to start sowing in the greenhouse, of course only things that can stand a bit of frost cos my greenhouse has no heating (yet), for the first time this ear the automatic window openers opened the windows ! At the moment all my pots with succulents are in there to protect them from the rain and they have done well this Winter, they are looking good.
I took a few pictures of my indoor plants who are sunbathing and enjoying it !
I THINK THEY ARE ALL SMILING AT THE MOMENT !
IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY YOU CAN HEAR THEM SCREAM OF JOY !
Have a great Spring !

That’s quite a collection you have!
and still growing……
I love gardens almost as much as art. We have a very small plot now here in St Albans UK, but it is a special place and I couldn’t imagine not being able to grow things. The only thing I find really difficult is finding the patience required!
Oh yes, patience, thats what you need if you want to be a good gardener, lots of patience, but I too am rather impatient….
I wondering what kind od succulents can take the hot desert sun for my new backyard?
PS: Your plants look happy~ Love the monkey!
thanks
I think you can ust watch arround you and see whar others have in their gardens. I’m sure a lot of your new neighbours will be happy to give you some as they grow and extend themselves really fast !You can also look on succulent and cacti forums for give aways.
Have a great day and succes with finding the right plants !!
Yes my friend also suggested seeing what plants were growing well in the area. There are so many humming birds in the yard, I want to find something they like too! 🙂

They like flowers who produce honey but you can also give them honey mixed with water, they have special “thingy’s” to fill with water and honey to hang in a tree or so. And you can give them fruit that is too ripe for you to eat. How I would love to have hummingbirds in my garden !!!!
I left a hand blown red glass humming bird feeder at my brothers house. Darn! lol
These are nice photo’s!!! Your plants are pretty!!!! Thank You for liking my drawing!!!! Visit anytime!!! *Cynthia
Thanks !
Nice the photos, hope those plants do not get home sick for the tropics. Because you love them they will never miss the tropics. Love over comes all.
I often feel sorry for them you know cos I can’t really give them what they need but I try to do my best so they are never too hot or too dry and I hope they can feel that I love them.
Thanks for stopping by and for the like !
Lookin’ good!
thanks
It’s exciting when those first spring teaser days come so you know it can’t be far off. Your indoor plants do look happy.
Today was an even better day, it was about 15 C° ! And the wind came from the South so it felt warmer, the birds are starting to sing…so yeah we are heading in the right direction !
They are beautifull! I hope some day I will have space for as many plants as you! I especially love succulents, too. Thanks for liking my post!
I usually go for small plants that grow slowly and that don’t grow too big, I also like to grow plants from seed.
I hope you’ll get lots of space for plants !
I am smiling back at them.
Sun here also; it usually goes along with an east wind (from the tundra).
I have had little luck with Jades in the past. Can you give me some pointers since I just purchased one. Your collection is very beautiful!
Jades are one of the most easy plants to look after as are most cacti and succulents, you can only kill them by giving them too much water. Use ordinary potting compost mixed with grit or sharp sand , not all cacti and succulents like full sun, the jades like dappled shade or a little sun, if you repot the plants every year you don’t have to feed them, if you don’t feed them use just very little fertilizer; Jades are very easy to propagade, brake off a leaf and put it in compost and voilà you ‘ll get a new plant, you can also use a piece of the plant that fell off by accident, remove the lower leafs and put in potting compost. Good luck with them !!!
Thank you for the info. I have many succulents, but for some reason, and I think I know why now, the jade dies. The leaves fall off and I believe it is due to over watering. I sometimes have an issue with my plants and the location I have them. I have an aloe in my kitchen on the counter located above the dishwasher which I think has a minor mold problem and I desperately need to relocate and finish correcting the soil to save the plant. I think that area is just too humid from the steam of the dishwasher not allowing the soil to dry out, but the funny thing is, the aloe withers so I water. I am planning a new place for it today.
As for the jade, I have had it about two weeks and watered twice with little water. I haven’t repotted as of yet and so far so good. But isn’t that the way it usually goes? I can grow most any plant and most thrive, but some plants I kill. I will be watering this a lot less than most. I have the soil that I use for my other succulents to use when I give it it’s new home.
I will try my hand with propagating. Thanks again!
the steam of the dishwasher is probably too hot and too humid ! you can buy ready made succulent compost in the shops but ordinary soil with grit and or sand is good too
