Harangued

Harrassed by the neighbors downstairs, I've begun to water lightly but frequently. I've put pans under the bonsai'd bougainvillea to ensure reasonably consistent moisture.

With a break available from studies, I'll cover the terrace with plastic in the next weekend and clean out 2 of the large pots and separate out the bougies that will be repotted in substantially smaller pots -- or something like that.

The new goal will be toward fewer plants, the square planters currently crammed to be planted with a single orange bird of paradise with a low, slower growing ground cover.. though some pandora vine as a companion might be manageable.  Easier to clean, caretake.

Octopussy

Caught naked as sin in Fairchild Botanic Garden




















I've remembered fertilizer, the seagrape seems to put out new leaves overnight with a spray of MiracleGro and seaweed.
