I am jealous of all those plants!

Dude, you have everything so organized! I have no organization with my plants right now. Some are in the house, some are in the greenhouse.....it's madness. I love the view from your window!

I must have picked up on your thoughts, LOL. Rearranged my shelves in the grow room this morning. All budded ones on one shelf, finished bloomers and strugglers on the other.
Then spen tthe rest of themorning planning out my new flower stand for my flower customers.

Just couldn't stand moping around about our chilly inversion with 38 degree grey BAD AIR over us!THe wind will sweep it away (Supposedly on MOnday), and the sun will shine through. Spring WILL come!

Oh Jodi!!! The jungle looks great!!!

You did a wonderful job, and your happy, healthy plants will reward your efforts big time.

Cheers,

Blanca

Thanks, everybody! I just hope moving them around doesn't cause any scapes or spikes to abort! I think everyone will be ok, though. Larry got home earlier this evening, so now I can get the lights arranged as needed.

This is the most organized I've been since I began collecting! I figured it was high time to get rid of the corner cobwebs and wipe the windows clean so the sun can do a better job!

Lizalily, great minds think alike! Actually, I think it's more like strange minds think alike, because I know I have a strange thought process! LOL! But it feels good to have everything organized, doesn't it?!

It's taken me a while to collect the bulbs and plants I've got, Kimmie... some I've come upon by pure luck, and some were wonderful gifts from generous friends! Larry let's me get whatever I like, if we can afford it at the time, so I'm lucky there, too! He's very supportive of my hobby!

Larissa, I've been so cooped up with this weather... I just had to do something to get my mind off the cold, depressing winter! Plus, I've been really lax in housekeeping lately, and I never do the traditional "spring cleaning" thing... it's whenever I get a bug up my butt! Yesterday, I got a bug up my butt! LOL!

Honestly, as I started to put everything back together, I realized just how many plants I do have... wow! And what's not pictured are all the bulbs and plants in the other windows! Well, I've never been one to do anything halfway! I go all out!

The view is nice out that east window... and now it's even nicer because all the fly doo-doo and nicotine is gone from the window panes! LOL!

Congrats on a job welldone, Jodi! I need some cleaning and rearranging around my house, too, but... I'm sooooo lazy! I know I'm not good any more, maybe the old age has got me. Perhaps I WILL do it this coming week, before we celebrate Chinese New Year.

Xuan, I've seen pictures of your home, and I think it's lovely the way it is! I can't imagine there would be much for you to do! On the other hand, the New Year is a perfect time to start fresh!

And, thank you! My work was a long time coming! I have a bad habit of not organizing until I drive myself nuts looking for something I know I have, but I can't find it in all my mess! That's when I decide it's time to start putting things in order!

I still have one more area that needs organizing... the north window alcove with the seedling mini-greenhouse could use a good dusting and to be better organized! I'll probably do that over the weekend.

LOL, your jungle is awesome. I would so do the same if I had that many plants. Why stop buying new plants or nurturing babies when you can simply stack them as high as possible in a crowd around your best window. I totally understand, lol

This is my crowd. A few Hippies, a couple ficus bonsais I made from cuttings, a forced spring bulb basket that is smelling soooo good right now, and some paperwhites I'm growing from rock inside the vase. The tags hanging from the hippie blooms are to remind me what they have been pollinated with.

Nice window Jodi. You did a great job on your jungle. Now don't you feel really good about yourself? Today, I cleaned under my computer desk. What a mess back under there! I vacuumed and went through two of those Swifter thingies cleaning all the cables, power strips, etc. I would never have paid much attention to it, but I was switching USB cables and realized it was time. A couple weekends back I moved a lot of stuff from the patio door in my bedroom and put the blooming hippies there instead, so I could see them last thing at night and wake up to them.

Erin, your window arrangement is awesome, and you have so much room! I'd have that windowsill loaded with greenery in no time! If that were my space, you'd see shop light fixtures hanging from decorative chain over that area, and all flat surface below covered with a pot and saucer growing any number of bulbs and other plants! I like the little bonsai trees! Great starts! And to top it all off, you're so organized! Thanks for sharing your space!

Kitty, I do feel better now that everyone is situated and organized! You've just reminded me that I need to get my computer tower taken to the basement, to blow the dust out of it with the small compressor! I can hear the fans inside laboring away... and I'd hate to be responsible for killing it with neglect! I hesitate to peek under my desk... Lord only knows what's rolling around down there! I'll get to that area in due time... I'm on a cleaning kick, so I should just keep going, one area at a time!

Isn't it amazing how much dust accumulates under computer desks and on the power cords? They're like magnets for dust bunnies! I think the fact that the days are slowly getting longer is to blame for this cleaning mission I'm on... as I said, I don't normally do the usual spring cleaning thing like most of America, so any time I get in the mood, it's a good thing!

Usually, I'm greeted when I awaken by the timers kicking the grow lights on, and my jungle is visible from the bed. It's nice to see all that green growth and any blooms first thing in the early morning... I used to wonder why the heck my Mom got up so early, but it just happens with age, I think... plus, it's a nice quiet time to have coffee and reflect on things. I usually reflect on GW! LOL!

Today is Sunday, so there will be no cleaning... it's shopping day. Psyche and I will get our chores done early, and head to town to stock up on groceries and supplies. We'll stop somewhere for lunch... unless Sam's Club has lots of good samples! Maybe I can talk her into checking the local garden center for bulbs, and a stop at Home Depot or Lowe's to see if they have any spring bulbs out yet.

I've got to get more tubes and light fixtures for the basement seed starting, and timers for the lights... and I just ran out of liquid fertilizer, so got that on the list... let's see... what else do I need?

Well... I'd love to see how everyone else has their indoor plants for winter! Anyone else want to share their jungle photos? It's fun to see how everyone groups their bulbs, and what else they like to grow! And this is getting long, so... have a lovely day, everyone!

Nice window Jodi. You did a great job on your jungle. Now don't you feel really good about yourself? Today, I cleaned under my computer desk. What a mess back under there! I vacuumed and went through two of those Swifter thingies cleaning all the cables, power strips, etc. I would never have paid much attention to it, but I was switching USB cables and realized it was time. A couple weekends back I moved a lot of stuff from the patio door in my bedroom and put the blooming hippies there instead, so I could see them last thing at night and wake up to them.

I posted that msg. once before, but when I sat down just now after returning from church, it just up and posted it again -- bizzarreeee! Just wanted everyone to know this was not intentional. You know Jodi, you bring up a good point, I also should de-dust the inside of the computer. Thanks for the reminder. Today, I must work on my presentation for our garden club mtg. coming up on Thursday. Can you believe, I've not started it? Sure you can, but hopefully by Fhurs. it will be ready to roll. Thurs. a.m. I'm busy at being an artist (class), then I'm visiting my friend's dogs after than, then have to go p/u the projector from the Master Gardener office, then be ready to present at about 6:30 p.m. I'm going to try to spread CHAD. Wish me luck!

A word of warning, Kitty! NEVER vacuum electronics, especially computers when they are still running and plugged in! In fact, it's best to shut them down, unplug from the wall, remove the cover, and blow the dust out rather than vacuum! Vacuuming is not good for electronics with circuit boards and chips!

Larry has cautioned me time and again about the proper way to remove pet hair and dust from electronics. Several friends have blown up their systems due to improper handling and cleaning!
