It is November, and as a result far too minging to spend too much time outside in the garden. Fortunate, then, that it has been mild enough that I haven't needed to fleece up any plants yet (I'm not looking forward to that task!).
So today I dealt with the indoor component of Jurassic Park. Firstly, disposing of the pathetic excuse for a rubber plant I had rotting in the corner of the living room...
Compare this with what it looked like eleven months ago. I thought these chaps were meant to be so tough one could, in theory, abandon them in the corner of a room and barely water them for six months and they would still thrive.
Then the Araucaria heterophylla and Nephrolepis exaltata needed bigger pots, and the fountain needed cleaning and refilling.
They've now joined the Zamia furfuracea, Dioon edule and Asplenium nidus. And over on the right hand side of the picture is Caryota mitis, absolutely thriving.
And now my nose is all bunged up from the dusting (a sign that I should never do any cleaning if I can help it). Meh.
