Well, I’m trying to root more heirloom tomato cuttings, mostly because I can. Also, I feel guilty that I’m killing a perfectly healthy plant when pruning. Gonna let these cuttings steep in the willow tree bark water for 7 days and see what happens!
I also started to root a willow tree for my neighbor bestie Cindy. 
My plant obsession is not limited to the outdoors alone…mwhahahahaha.
I recently bought a bunch of new little 3″-4″ houseplants after researching what plants help clean toxins out of the air. And I finally had a chance to upgrade them to better homes today. Lots of fun with dirt for me!
I picked up the Charles Chips tins at an antique store in Hammondsport, NY last week. Gma/Gpa Baker had them around the house when I was a youngster and they reminded me of happy times. Also, you know…I’m marrying a Charles.
I transplanted our 16 strawberry plants to window boxes and planted a box of shamrocks.
And started more seeds to add to our garden.

Hello little fella!
Next project? ADIOS BUSHES PART ONE!
This project is more FUN and more WORK than it should be. Love pulling the smelly bushes out of the ground with the truck. HATE breaking up the hundred pounds of soil hanging on the roots. HWMMS did a lot of work on this…and it doesn’t even look like we have half of them torn out! Still 10 more to go.
Last project of the afternoon before the rainstorm? GET RID OF OLD SMELLY HEAVY COUCH.
Bye, bye couch…2 old couches out, 1 more to go.
I moved some of our house plants temporarily to the large space where the old smelly couch once sat. Our cats are NOT HAPPY.
A good day.
Happy Cats AND Happy Jenny!
Catnip is a natural mosquito repellent. In August 2010, entomologists at Iowa State University reported to the American Chemical Society that catnip is ten times more effective than DEET, the chemical found in most commercial insect repellents.
Bring on the bat houses and the mosquito dunks and the CATNIP!
I cannot begin to share how much I adore this sweetest little cat. Dani has grown leaps and bounds the last few months and has become a lovely addition to our family, bringing many smiles and moments of purrfection.
HOWEVER, SHE IS EATING ALL THE PLANTS!
I had to give up the one I posted about above because it ended up being wee sticks in dirt. Now she has been munching on the other vine-y ones instead. Of course I think she is adorable and choose to take pictures of her eating the plants while OUTRAGED while He Who Makes Me Smile decides to get his nerf gun out for target practice. (It took three nerf gun shots for her to get that he wasn’t playing. Hahaha.)
I see our future parenting roles clearly…
“When our kids are someday on the floor eating the dog food, you will be taking pictures of them and blogging about it won’t you!”
Ummm…
Oh silly little Dani Cat…
I’m so proud. I repotted Mama’s Christmas Cactus and look what happened! Blooms!
Also…do rose bushes bloom in November? Cause apparently we have one plant that does! Pretty, eh?
The newest plant from the Martini Mingle the other weekend has flowered! DAFFODILS! My favorite.
