Weekend Gardening (A Little Bit of Everything)

Friday the first really nice day that we had in a while. It was actually warm and there was no rain… so I took out all the cuttings and seedlings from my room and placed them outside in the front porch. Everybody OUT!!! Unfortunately, it was chilly again on Saturday and Sunday, so they didn’t get to come back out.

Everybody OUT!!!

We have several plants blooming outside, including our first Roses. I several photos of the Rose blooms, unfortunately, I forgot to turn the macro setting and almost all those photos came out blurry. Here are some of my Mom’s White Bank Rose and Clematis in our back patio.

On Friday, my Mom and I went to Costco, and they were selling Purple Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum ‘Cupreum’)… Hmmm? Everywhere I go, it seems that seeds start breaking off. Knowing me, I had to save them.

The Forsythia cuttings that I planted just a week ago are already sending out roots. Curiously, the roots are growing out from the stem. I’m not sure if I should cut these cuttings down and plant the roots in the soil. Comments anyone?

Finally, my Mom told me that we had Taro (“Gabi” in Tagalog) in our pantry that are sprouting. I planted one of them and hopefully it’ll grow like Meighan’s Taro.
