The terrarium

 I had a project. It was time to revitalize the terrarium. I bought it at an online auction. Ordering in some fairies, I took out the plastic crap, replanted it with these plants, including polka-dot plant, which keeps growing out the top.

Sadly, the baby's breath died, and the palm plant was keenly appreciated by the late Hooper. I had to remove it. Cinnamon liked the palm plant. I had to move that, too.

In March, 2022, the copper was cleaned up. (I'll have to do that soon on a rainy day!)

Back to the present, everything was assembled on the back deck. There aren't too many days like this. This morning it was 5 C. It was cool on the back deck! I hauled out the dead stuff. Took out the mineral stained soil, and washed the little figures. 

I have this little set of 'kiddy' gardening tools. They are perfect for all sorts of jobs, including this one. 

I decided to order in some seeds. The only wee plant I could think of was Alyssum. They were totally out of the pretty pinks (left), but they had both white a dark pink. 

Look how they came, in a little vial. Planting about half of each colour, I shall hope for the best.

The final task was to spray the soil, to give the seeds some moisture. Next, I washed the glass.  

I usually prepare posts ahead of time. That said, Cinnamon is sitting on my lap, so here is an iPhone photo from across the room. You'll note my felting project! 

That was my project for Tuesday! Let us see what Wednesday brings.
