June 10 Gardening…
Planted another African Violet leaf cutting. This one has solid dark pink flowers.
My Huayna-Picchu Masdevallia Orchid bloomed for the first time last night. When I saw it, an insect was pirched on its top petal…
I still don’t know where to plant my French Terragon (Artemisa dracunculus ‘Sativa’) that’s in a 2″ pot, so I potted it up to a 4″ pot.
I planted four Lemon Cucumbers (into 3 squares) in Veggie Bed #2.
Planted a container with Agrostemma githago ‘Ocean Pearls’ 
, Layia platyglossa ‘Tidy Tips’ and Pesto Perpetuo Basil .
DIY Orchid Pot
I converted a regular 4″ pot into an Orchid pot by cutting 8 vertical lines on its side.
I repotted my “Birthday 2010” Orchid (from Dave) from a 3″ pot to this converted 4″ Orchid pot.
New Croton
I never had good luck with Crotons, but I saw this one in a 3 inch pot at Ikea and decided to give it another try… but this time, I’m going to grow it at work.
Tiny Pineapple Sprout…
48 days after sowing… I finally see a tiny Pineapple sprout.
Gardening at Work…
Mango Progress… It looks so cute!
I planted the Mango as well as the sprouting Variegated Corn and Purple Majesty Millet (G2) into larger pots.
I accidentally snapped the tip of the Mango root and hope that it’ll be okay.
Flowers and Sprouts…
We have a bunch of pink and purple flowers now in bloom in our backyard:
Money Plant and Seaside Daisy
Cerinthe and Chinese Ground Orchid
At work, the Variegated Corn and Purple Majesty Millet (G2) sprouted over the weekend.
I was really happy to see that my Mango seed sprouted leaves!!!
