Getting Ready for Plant Sale
Leopard plants (left, background) and chocolate plants (left, foreground) have over-wintered in my greenhouse for this summer's plant sale. After watering all winter, and with limited air circulation, I had noticed fungus gnats in the soil last weekend. . . the natural remedy for these is to let the soil dry out a bit to make the location inhabitable to these creatures. Another natural remedy has appeared as well: a spider has set up residence between the plants' stalks -- I love it when nature takes care of things for me!
The plant sale is part of our Natural Urban Living Garden Show, which will take place on June 19.
