Garden journal: windowsill report
May. 17th, 2013 09:54 amI no longer have any empty windowsills on the third floor. Once I'm sure the schlumbergera are happily settled in their new pots I will probably move them downstairs to the various tables in front of windowsills. I like my office and upstairs kitchen windowsills to serve as the intensive care areas.
Yesterday I took the Class of 2006 out back, and brought it right back in. The leaves are kind of streaky and in case they're suffering from the dread mosaic virus I don't want them near the other hippeastrums. The self-pollination of the last Class of 2009 flower looks promising. Once the pregnancy is completed (or aborted) they'll go out back and then come right back in if they look streaky.
The Franklinia is looking a tiny bit bigger.
The weather has warmed but the mosquitos haven't yet cranked up, so we can sit out back and enjoy ourselves of an evening. The rooted cuttings of coleus that I set out here and there are starting to take hold and lend their color to the corners, and the pansies are probably at their peak.
Tomorrow we volunteer for a Wanamaker Organ concert.
