Good morning! Do you still have frost?

Yeah, even more so this morning. It's burning off, though. I moved most of my hanging-pail roses indoors about a week ago, so I have a rose garden inside.

Very nice. You can make some tea. I killed basil last year by leaving it in the windowsill too long. I have to remember to move them somewhere else soon.

I never thought of that.  

I also moved in begonias and one geranium, all doing well under plant lights for a couple of hours a day.

My lemon tree isn't doing so well. It's nearly two years old at this point, and I don't think it'll survive to see a third year. Some sort of pest has been eating the leaves.

Was my excitement too obvious? 

Spike's voice: "Don't encourage her!" 

Oops. Too late!

From Google: Spray the tree with oil sprays to get rid of insects like the Asian citrus psyllid and citrus rust mites. You can also use a non-toxic, natural pesticide like neem oil mixed with water. Another option is to mix a few drops of dishwashing detergent with water in a spray bottle, and spray the tree's leaves and limbs.

I just counted 19 new rosebuds. Maybe they'll last till Christmas.

Sweet dreams, B.  

He didn't say he was sleeping, only going to bed where it was "warm".

 

 

 

I've been studying pervy with Clo. How am I doing?

Nick gave you some good advice but the other trick involves a trip to the hardware store. Buy an iron, a copper and a zinc coated nail. Hammer the three of them into the base of the tree. Magic  

The other trick, which my grandfather used to swear by, is to threaten the tree unless it starts to produce fruit. Apparently he did this to his troublesome lemon and the next year produced a wonderful crop.

Last week, I ordered a replacement battery for my laptop, and it was supposed to arrive Sunday, but it's still not here. 😭
