Good morning all. The ice storm didn't wreak too much havoc in our neighborhood, thank goodness. After the temps dipped into the teens overnight DD's little dog discovered that he could run on top of the frozen snow. He had a real good time slipping and sliding all over the yard. Still more snow in the forecast for Friday, wah! I'm supposed to drive into Boston for my second Covid shot but if the snow is too much I'll have to wait until next week. I'm nearly finished with the painting in my living room. I still have one more corner and some touch ups to go. I was able to move my Norfolk pine into a little alcove in there. It looks like it was made for that spot. Now I can move some of the plants around in the sunroom so there will be plenty of room for seed starting. The "little" tree was taking up a lot of space. I love terra cotta pots and prefer them over plastic since they let the plant roots breathe a bit. On really hot days try setting your pots so they can draw water from the bottom of the pot as they need it. The cost difference between plastic and terra cotta is not all that much around here. A good quality, sturdy plastic pot will cost about the same as a terra cotta one. However, we must all decide what works best for our gardens.
