anyways. greening. here's the living-room window, with the shelf of plants up top, the monstera glowing green in the middle, the "mother of thousands" hanging plant, and a huge rubber tree on the left that our neighbours rescued from an alleyway:
the african violets have done that spontaneous-beautiful thing they do every summer (the closest flowers are white and purple):
i've also learnt how to make african babies. you shove a leaf in the ground, cut it down a bit, and water it for a couple of months.
my desktop now carries a jade plant, an australian mint bush, two tiny gumtrees, a big pot of basil, a tiny sprawling ivy plant and a huge seeding tray with squash and brussell sprouts in. i haven't been doing much studying.

did your baby gum trees from last year survive the winter?
one did, one didn't. i tried to start a bunch of new plants, and only got one. the climate here is really against me!
grandma peg had african violets on the kitchen windowsills of all her houses
