Claudette Really Filling Out

Claudette is filling out nicely.  Soon she will be back to her old self and who knows how long it will be until she flowers.  Will possibly be able to take her home at that point or maybe just move pollen from one tree to the next.  Will just have to see how everything goes.

With the greenhouse in the yard now some of the more summery plants are now starting to pop back up.  I think it's turmeric breaking ground again in several places. Not the one up front though.  Although the day lily is still going strong.  Will see how cold it has to get before it kills it back for the year.  I remember even in Southeast Texas they would die back and come up in the spring.

Several other seeds have been planted in the green house to see what might sprout.  I know they say you can start seeds in a green house but I've never been able to find out.  At the house in Arlington the "green house" was more like a drafty covered porch.

I've got the study pretty well cleaned up and Claude is loving the new light setup.  I have the grow lights mounted to the wall finally and they are set up on an intermittent timer. Day is on 1.5 hours and off 0.5 hours.  Night is the opposite.  It keeps the leaves from burning quite so much it seems.
