Two more sleeps till Christmas




Christmas is almost here-tomorrow all the poinsettias in my greenhouse will be taken to my church and put on display for Christmas. It will be nice to have some space returned to the other crowded plants.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year at this time.
December has been extremely mild with just a little snowfall once this month. Plants and flowers in the greenhouse and outdoors are thriving.

Red in Greenhouse!





This time of the year, red is my favourite colour and as you will see by the photos, the church poinsettias have once again arrived in the greenhouse. I am now the caretaker of 32 poinsettias - we bought 24 plants at Rona yesterday and transported them home. The cost was $3.88 per plant - very reasonable for such lovely flowers.
The greenhouse is really crowded and I will be glad when Christmas arrives and they are in the church. When the plants get overstacked, the bugs invade and I am already battling mealybug on my rosemary plants.
