I have a confession - I set all the past week's posts (and a few coming up at the end of this week) up as scheduled posts, and I've barely been around. So thank you all so much for carrying on commenting, and I shall have a commenting spree in response to you all when I've finished this post.
The photos I've been putting up have all been from my holiday in October, a massive roadtrip taking in every state north of the Mason-Dixon Line and culminating in five days in New York City.
At the weekend I visited my parents, and Mum and I went off to her local garden centre so Dad and Hubster could get on with studying and writing respectively (Dad is doing a masters degree, Hubster has entered NaNoWriMo). It's perhaps the first time I have been to a garden centre in over two years and not bought something, but I did spend money vicariously through Mum, who now has even more Christmas decorations and seriously considered buying the £269 life-size stuffed reindeer toy.
Yesterday I took a photo of my windowseat as it stands at the moment (it may get worse as other plants have to come indoors...) in response to Diane's comment on Friday Fern #24 - there'd be nowhere for you to sit now, Diane!!
See Sideshow Bob in the right hand corner and how much he's grown? And the dead-looking plants are divided Colocasia esculenta "Mammoth". One of them is already growing another leaf, which is excellent.
My gardening mug says "You have to propagate to accumulate", and while I suck at taking cuttings and getting things to germinate from seed, I seem to be pretty good at dividing plants...
