Okay, to be fair, she had just wandered out to ask me to add things to a list, but this picture looks like union work to me. All she needs is a shovel and a cigarette......
About half-way done (mixing up some more potting mix means I have clean hands for about 30 seconds and can snap a picture).
Tomorrow I'll take a picutre of what I'm calling our nursery. Let's just say there's a lot of greenery.
Oh, by the way, the seedlings got white-flies from a hibiscus plant I brought home from the church (they're notorious for it), so once they've gotten over their re-potting (in a day or two), they'll get start on a mild soap and water solution.
For the record, there are 2 much better and more ecological ways to kill white flies:
1.) Leave the plants outside and let lady bugs do what they do best. Unfortunately, it's a bit too early to risk and overnight for these seedlings.
2.) Blast the hell out of the plant with a hose (works very well on a hardy hibiscus), literally washing all the flies and eggs away. Of course, this is not an option with delicate seedlings.
If anyone knows of any other suggestions let me know.
