Okay, got it! I thought I'd have to put them all in the sink or something

Well, you know, you can always ask them if they fancy a spa bath xD

It's been a while since I posted plant pics, so here they are.

Green strawberry 

There is another one on the plant, but it's really shriveled so I think it will die.   Hopefully this one will live.

Yay for the Ficus! So glad it's starting to show green

The Dill is clearly a trooper, too

[Ponyfan]

The tiny thing on the Ficus is a little leaf.    I hope that means more leaves will appear soon.  I've been a little worried about the Ficus since it was so long before it was showing signs of life.

I have strawberry blossoms and at least 1 strawberry too.

I love your frequent photo updates, Ponyfan! And I love fresh strawberries. I wonder if I should buy a hanging strawberry plant this year, I've never had one! My parents have a big yard and they grow all kinds of stuff, including strawberries.

We're finally enjoying summer temperatures and I got some violets for the balcony, they are some of the first summer flowers I can trust to survive as the nights may still be cold. Typically in Finland the risk of night frost isn't over until 10 June or so, but it's warmer here in the south and our balcony doesn't get as cold as the ground level. Still, I usually wait at least until June before I buy any summer plants. I had some daffodils for Easter and they lasted for a good while but they are past their prime now.

My indoor plants are doing fine, I was going to repot some of them in March but then just never got around to doing it... Probably because it was still super wintery in March and I didn't feel like doing 'spring stuff'... I suppose it isn't too late to do that even now.

I'm glad people enjoy the frequent photos.    I worry sometimes that they're boring to others because they don't seem to change that much from each pic. 

My mom and I repotted plants today.  Here's pics of the ones we repotted.

Ficus with more green leaves and green things.

The strawberry plant is making a lot of strawberries.    I don't want to repot it while it's producing.

Yay for the ficus! And the strawberry! I hope you get some good fruit from it.

Here's my group.

Ponytail palm has three new growth spots!

[Artemesia's Garden]

Everything is going mad outside. Unfortunately so are the slugs after all this rain and they are attaching my beans and squashes. We've had so much rain that all the perennial plants in the garden are doing really well, even though the most recent wave were only planted in Feb this year. All I have left after that is landscaping plants for when we finally get the boundary fixed. Native trees and shrubs like holly, ivy, hawthorn, juniper and birch and a couple of non-natives like pittosporum because in a semi-detached house privacy can be an issue and choice of evergreens is limited. I have a lot of good flowers at the moment, first roses and peonies. There's this awkward week in early May when the late tulips still haven't quite finished (letterbox red) and clash with the first early roses (barbie pink), but I've learned to be ruthless with the tulips and take the first roses indoors as cut flowers.

Your plants look great, BC.


My green strawberry is turning red.   The white pot we repotted the dill in seems to have a problem with drainage.  It was fine the last time one of the mints was in it, but now I think there might be some debris in the drainage hole that is making it not work properly.  I watered the dill today and a lot of the water didn't drain.
