My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Happy Rainy Week So. CA

I'm planting seeds in flats and putting down fertilizer. Birds are singing and hunting bugs. Trees are getting a bath life is good.

    I think I am going to bring some of my orchids inside now, as some of them do not like getting too wet - or I may move them to a covered area. I move my cattleyas inside when it gets too cool, but the rest stay outside. I have one phalaenopsis (a gift) which stays inside all winter, but I have otherwise stopped growing these, as I do not have room, and they are too fussy. They also do not like rain, it seems.

    It is nice to have the sprinklers all turned off and not have to hand water. I should be able to get some other things done now! I need to start my chocolate Habanero seeds.
