I got the vase for free. It's part of set of 3 glassblown art vases. Got them from a free pile from local estate clear out, a few years ago. I'm good at scoring lots of #freebies & rarely buy anything new.
#Jasmine is blooming again. We keep them indoors for 3/4 of year & move outside for late Spring-Summer. Good indoor natural air purifying #plant. Flowers are #edible & used to make tea & fruits used in #Chinese#TraditionalMedicine.
Giving it another go with an Abutilon picsoni "Thompson's Maple". I dug the mother of all holes, amended the soil like heck, positioned the root ball, and back-filled. Followed by repeated watering. It's somewhat sheltered by an old Mock Orange. #gardening#perrenials#flowers#California
Our work begins in the dilapidated ornamental garden. First we create a “nursery” bank to temporarily place any plants we can save. Because our soil is so heavy in clay and we are no-till, we first lay down cardboard, then wood fines and finally some rich compost. As the cardboard breaks down over the years it will eventually meld with the soils ecosystem below. (I’m not explaining that very well 🤷♀️)
