Sunshine and wreath maintenance�

2001-02-14

Oh my god! There is sunshine this morning. I think I'm going to cry. You can tell I'm a true Californian, a few rainy days and I'm ready to walk off of a cliff.

Yesterday I did wreath maintenance after work. I have a wreath made of live plants (succulents) and after a while all the plants get too long and there are lots of dead leaves. So I cut off the bits that are too long, and then stick them back in with shorter stems. This time while I was at it, I thought I would feed it and put in new water crystals. I use a chopstick to make a hole for the plant stem, push some Osmocoat fertilzer and a couple of water crystals into the hole, then push in the plant stem. Tedious and time consuming, but I can't think of a better way to do it.

I also repeated the 'Snail Squashing After Walking' of yesterday. It's a great time to find the little buggers, about an hour after the sun goes down. At least it wasn't raining while we were walking, but it started again almost as soon as we got into the house.
