Spring is in the air...

And so I've finally gotten around to repotting various small plants that have been bought during trips to nurseries and home improvement stores.

This was triggered by having picked up a plumeria cutting at a local nursery, and while it's bad enough to let a 99-cent something-or-other wilt and die from neglect, the plumeria was not cheap. (Indeed, one reason I bought a cutting was to see what it was that drove people to buy several at a time!)

In the photo below, the plumeria is the one that looks like an overgrown asparagus stalk that's standing in a layer of blue glass beads (because those are blue glass beads—I didn't have any gravel at hand).


Behind it and to the right is last year's rosemary plant, which spent the winter in the kitchen. Next to the rosemary is sweet basil, which I bought about 10 days ago. That's lemon balm in the pot sitting in front of the rosemary and to the left of the basil, and the remaining two pots contain a variety of lavender that I hope will do well in this climate.

The day started out to be another yawn, as far as work is concerned, but a rush job that came in at half past five helped salvage the day.

Cheers...
