52 Projects // Plant Party

Plants on the Patio

I’ve spent the past few days feeling pretty crummy and haven’t really been able to do more than change the channel on the tube.  Which, as much as I dislike it, I welcomed it because I don’t want any sickness interfering with my trip to Chicago next weekend.

Thankfully I’m feelin better and ready to launch a little blog series called 52 Projects.  One project per week, 52 weeks per year, one year of takin care of business.  It’s likely that a lot of my projects will overlap with my 101 in 1001 list, but I can dig it.

Because I still feel a little weak and lazy, I decided to take on a quick and easy project. Maybe something where I could get my hands dirty.

In addition to my usual houseplant care taking routine, I decided to re-pot one that was outgrowing its little home and plant some clippings I had growing in a jar of water. Which took about 3 minutes. Yay! Easy win!

Even though there isn’t much to it, I like to celebrate the fact that I’ve kept these little guys alive long enough to even BE re-potted. Once upon a time, there was no refuge from my black thumb. Now that I’ve learned to choose plants that can survive and thrive in my shadowy home, I’ve paid attention to their water and nutrient needs.  As long as I can remember to water and feed them (which I have had to actually put on my to do list), they stick around.
